FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Fresh Foam 680 v8 provides good cushioning for moderate runs. For marathon distances, runners might prefer models with more advanced stability and cushioning technologies specifically designed for ultra-long distances.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
These trainers are constructed with a combination of durable leather and textile materials for the upper.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent is the preferred method for care.

Fresh Foam is New Balance's proprietary cushioning technology, designed to provide a soft and responsive feel underfoot.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with regular use?
With proper care and regular use for running and daily activities, these trainers are designed to be durable. Lifespan can vary based on usage intensity and frequency, but they are built for longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Try wearing them with thinner socks initially.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for general traction. For optimal grip on wet surfaces, consider specialized footwear. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might reduce grip.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Inspect the stitching. For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If structural stitching is affected, contact customer support for warranty assessment.
