FAQs
What type of running are these trainers best suited for?
The New Balance 680 Trainers are designed for general running, jogging, and everyday training. They offer a good balance of cushioning and support suitable for road running and treadmill use.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the New Balance sizing chart. Trying them on in person is the most reliable way to ensure a proper fit, as sizing can vary slightly.
Can these trainers be used for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer good support, their primary design is for running. For specific cross-training activities that involve lateral movements, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer better stability.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made with breathable materials suitable for running, which means they are not designed to repel water.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Specific warranty information is best obtained directly from the retailer or New Balance, as it can vary by region and purchase date. Typically, athletic footwear may have a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers) or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning in the midsole, regardless of mileage.
What is the difference between the 680 and other New Balance running series?
The 680 series typically focuses on providing a well-cushioned and supportive ride at a more accessible price point, making them a great option for daily mileage. Other series might offer more specialized features for speed, stability, or trail running.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied.
Ensure you are tying a secure double knot. Consider replacing the laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort during runs.
Verify that the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as an improper fit is a common cause of discomfort.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While designed for grip, performance on very wet surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, which can impede traction.
Material feels stiff.
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance 680 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the trainers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or become brittle.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
