FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 680 trainers are designed for general wear and light training. For marathon running, it is recommended to use specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning tailored for long-distance performance.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Medium-thickness athletic socks are generally recommended for comfort and cushioning. The choice may depend on personal preference and the specific activity.
How do I know if I have the correct 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 slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive tightness.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole provides some grip, but the materials are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces.
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides lightweight cushioning, offering a comfortable and responsive feel with each step, reducing impact during wear.
How often should I clean my New Balance 680 trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, typically when they appear dirty. Regular spot cleaning and occasional washing according to care instructions will help maintain their appearance and longevity.
Where can I find other color options or sizes?
Refer to the product listing for available sizes and colors. Variant siblings may offer different color families and sizes.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear with medium-thickness socks for initial comfort. If still tight after a few wears, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles need adjustment.
Tread wear over time
Regularly inspect the outsole. If significant wear is observed, consider replacing the shoes, especially if traction is compromised.
Discoloration of materials
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean spills immediately according to care instructions to prevent staining.
