Product Information
Full details
These New Balance 680 trainers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for everyday wear or light training. The key benefit is the Fresh Foam midsole, offering lightweight cushioning. A potential caveat is that they are primarily trainers, not specialized running shoes for high-mileage or intense performance needs. The trainers feature a low-profile design with a lace-up fastening, padded tongue and cuff for comfort, signature branding, and a durable rubber outsole with a textured grip.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The New Balance 680 trainers are designed for comfort and light activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced cushioning and support features would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure and not slip excessively when walking.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides some grip, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and material durability.
What is the primary cushioning technology used?
The primary cushioning technology is the Fresh Foam midsole, which is designed to provide a lightweight and soft feel underfoot.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
For mesh areas, use a soft brush dipped in a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the mesh and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
What is the main advantage of the moulded insert?
The moulded insert is designed to offer enhanced support to the foot, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a more grippy material.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure the fit is correct and not too tight. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in, or try thicker socks for added cushioning.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
Be cautious when walking on wet surfaces as the textured grip may offer less traction compared to dry conditions. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.
