FAQs

What is the primary intended use for these shoes?

These shoes are primarily designed for road running, offering comfort and cushioning for paved surfaces. They are also suitable for general fitness activities and casual wear.

How much bio-based content is in the Fresh Foam midsole?

The Fresh Foam midsole contains approximately 3% bio-based content, which is made from renewable resources to help reduce the carbon footprint.

How should I clean my New Balance NB 680v8 shoes?

Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

What is the weight of these running shoes?

The shoes weigh approximately 268 grams (9.5 oz), making them a lightweight option for running.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

These shoes are designed for road running and may not provide sufficient grip or protection for technical trail surfaces.

What does 'no-sew construction' mean for the upper?

No-sew construction means that fewer traditional stitches are used in the upper material, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable fit and feel that can reduce the risk of irritation.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. Check lacing for proper tension. Break-in period may be required.

Reduced cushioning over time

Cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly diminished.

Upper material feels too warm

Ensure socks worn are moisture-wicking. The knit upper provides ventilation, but performance can be enhanced with appropriate socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Lightweight feel enhances performance.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
  • Versatile for running and casual wear.

Cons

  • May not provide enough stability for severe overpronation.
  • Bio-based content is a small percentage of the total material.
  • Limited color options in this specific model variant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup. Simply ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running, they are compatible with various running surfaces including pavement, asphalt, and sidewalks. They are also suitable for general athletic activities.

Care: To maintain the condition of your New Balance NB 680v8 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
