FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The New Balance 680 v9 trainers are designed for comfortable, lightweight rides and everyday training. While they can be used for shorter runs, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning needed for long-distance marathon running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
These trainers have a flat heel height.
What type of closure do these shoes have?
They feature a standard lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit.
Are there other color options available for the 680 v9 model?
While the specific model is black, New Balance often releases various colorways for their 680 series. Please check for other available options.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive heel slippage.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure laces are properly tied. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consult the sizing chart or consider trying a different size if available.
Reduced cushioning over time
The Fresh Foam cushioning may compress with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant wear.
Mesh upper feels too loose
Tighten the laces to secure the midfoot. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Outsole grip is poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip on most surfaces, but reduced traction on very wet or slick surfaces is possible. Exercise caution in such conditions.
