FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?

The Fresh Foam midsole is engineered to deliver an ultra-cushioned, lightweight ride, providing exceptional comfort during runs and everyday wear.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

These shoes are designed primarily for road running. While the integrated rubber outsole offers some grip, they are not optimized for the varied terrain of trail running.

How should I clean my New Balance Fresh Foam 680 shoes?

Clean the upper with a damp cloth and the outsole with a brush. Avoid machine washing. Air dry away from direct heat.

What does 'bio-based content' mean in the midsole foam?

Bio-based content is derived from renewable resources, helping to reduce the product's carbon footprint compared to traditional petroleum-based materials.

How much do these shoes typically weigh?

The shoes weigh approximately 268 grams (9.5 oz), contributing to their lightweight and agile feel.

Can these shoes be used for activities other than running?

Yes, their comfort and cushioning make them suitable for various activities, including walking, gym workouts, and daily errands.

What is the construction of the upper?

The upper features a precision-engineered knit construction with no-sew elements for a comfortable, breathable, and sleek fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with thinner socks or consider breaking them in gradually over shorter periods.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The Fresh Foam midsole may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage to maintain optimal performance and support.

Slight odor after use

Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out completely in a well-ventilated area. Using odor-absorbing powders or sprays designed for footwear can also help.
