FAQs

Is the Fresh Foam 680 a stability shoe?

No, the 680 is a neutral runner designed for those who do not require extra arch support or motion control.

Can I use these for trail running?

These shoes are specifically designed for road and pavement surfaces and may not provide sufficient grip or protection on uneven, rocky trails.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to break down over time.

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Yes, their responsive cushioning and lightweight design make them very comfortable for casual walking and everyday wear.

How often should I replace them?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and individual gait.

Troubleshooting

Feeling uneven pressure across the arch

Adjust the lacing tension; avoid pulling the laces too tightly over the instep to allow for natural foot expansion.

Accumulation of road grit in the tread

Use a dull butter knife or a specialized brush to carefully dislodge pebbles or debris from the outsole grooves after your run.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent responsive cushioning for comfort
  • Lightweight build prevents fatigue during longer runs
  • Versatile design suitable for daily road training
  • Streamlined, modern aesthetic

Cons

  • Not intended for runners requiring significant stability support
  • Best suited for road surfaces, not technical trail terrain
  • Limited to neutral arch mechanics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, focus on proper fit and moisture management. Always ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise. For cleaning, remove surface dirt using a soft-bristle brush and wipe down the uppers with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam properties and structural adhesives. Air dry your shoes at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
