FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The New Balance 680 v9 typically fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can influence fit.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
While capable of light exercise, these are intended for daily activity; for long-distance training, you may prefer a more specialized performance model.
How do I keep the blue fabric looking new?
Regularly brush off dust and avoid wearing them in excessively muddy or wet conditions to preserve the color quality.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for your specific support needs.
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and structural components of the shoe; manual cleaning is highly recommended.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer standard support suitable for most daily activities, though those with specific arch issues should consult an expert.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the instep
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets upward to redistribute pressure across the top of the foot.
Slipping during activity
Ensure the laces are tied with a double knot or a runner's knot to improve heel lock and stability.
Excessive dirt buildup
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning brush or a soft toothbrush with water to gently scrub the fabric without saturating the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your 680 v9s, ensure you select the correct UK size for your specific foot shape. Because these utilize a standard lace-up system, you should adjust the tension across the midfoot to match your preference for either a snug or loose fit. For long-term care, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the soles using a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing, which can compromise the integrity of the materials, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain their shape and support.
