Product Information

Full details

The New Balance Fresh Foam 680 Trainers are designed for adult runners who require a reliable, neutral shoe for daily road training. They offer a perfect balance of responsive cushioning and a lightweight, streamlined profile that facilitates natural movement during pavement workouts; however, users should note that as a neutral trainer, they lack the specific stability features required by those with significant overpronation.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The New Balance 680 series generally follows a standard fit profile, but it is recommended to check specific width sizing options if you have wider feet.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they perform well on pavement and tracks, they are designed as road shoes and may lack the grip and upper durability needed for technical trails.

How often should I replace them?

Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual weight.

Are these neutral or stability shoes?

The New Balance Fresh Foam 680 is classified as a neutral trainer.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or 'lock lacing' method to secure the heel.

Material showing early signs of dirt

Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to spot-clean targeted areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent responsive cushioning
  • Lightweight build prevents leg fatigue
  • Versatile design for both exercise and casual use
  • Reliable support for neutral runners

Cons

  • Not suitable for severe overpronation
  • Limited for rugged trail terrain
  • Neutral design may not provide enough arch support for everyone

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit for your foot size, as proper sizing prevents unnecessary friction and material wear. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam components over time. To clean, remove loose surface dirt with a soft brush and wipe the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and foam bonding.
