FAQs
What is the primary benefit of Fresh Foam cushioning?
Fresh Foam cushioning is designed to provide an exceptionally soft and lightweight ride, enhancing comfort during your runs and activities.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
These trainers are best suited for daily training, shorter to medium-distance runs, and general fitness. For marathons, runners may prefer shoes with more specialized support and cushioning tailored for long-distance racing.
How do I clean my New Balance 680 v8 trainers?
Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals to preserve the materials and integrity of the shoe.
What does 'bio-based content' mean for the cushioning?
The bio-based content means that a small percentage (around 3%) of the Fresh Foam material is derived from renewable resources, helping to reduce the product's environmental impact.
Can these shoes be used for other sports besides running?
Yes, the description indicates they are suitable for 'multisport' use, making them versatile for various light athletic activities and gym workouts.
What is the weight of these trainers?
The trainers weigh approximately 276 grams (9.7 oz) per shoe.
What type of pronation are these shoes designed for?
These trainers are generally designed for runners with a neutral pronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, ensure all eyelets are utilized and laces are snug. For a looser fit, slacken the laces, especially around the midfoot.
Discomfort during runs.
Ensure proper sizing. If the shoe fits correctly, consider the type of socks used, as thicker socks can alter the fit. For persistent discomfort, consult the product FAQs or consider if the shoe is suitable for your foot type and running style.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning is designed for durability but will naturally soften with extensive use. For significantly diminished cushioning, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
