FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The New Balance 680 trainers are designed for general running and everyday activities. For marathon distances, consider models specifically engineered for long-distance performance and advanced cushioning.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot length. The product is available in UK sizes. Trying them on in-store or ordering from a retailer with a good return policy is recommended for the best fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While they offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and comfort.
What is the primary difference between the 680 and other New Balance running shoe lines?
The 680 series typically offers a balance of cushioning and support suitable for everyday runners, often at a more accessible price point compared to specialized performance or stability shoes.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or after 6-12 months of regular use, depending on wear and tear.
Are these trainers true to size?
New Balance trainers are generally considered true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. It's always best to consult sizing charts and consider trying them on if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring the pressure is evenly distributed. Consider using a different lacing technique if persistent.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Check that the shoe fits correctly and is not too small or too large. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs.
Soles showing wear quickly
Avoid using the trainers for activities outside of their intended purpose (running, walking). Ensure proper cleaning and drying to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond ensuring the correct fit. Lace them up according to your comfort preference before each use.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult female feet. They are designed as running trainers, compatible with standard athletic socks. They are not intended for use with specialized orthotics unless specifically advised by a medical professional.
Care: To maintain the trainers, clean them with a damp cloth for minor scuffs. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's structure.
