New Balance Men's Fresh Foam 680v7 Black/Star Glo - Size 9.5

Absolutely brilliant product. I literally wore the shoes till I wore them out and they?re extremely comfortable supportive and rugged. Great pair of running shoes. Light and yet the build quality was exemplerary. Totally worth the money. I work on ships so on average I wore these shoes for 10-12 hours a day and walked an average of 15k steps a day. It survived this extent of usage with no problems at all.

2nd Pair-Has not disappointed! Runner

I got these a month ago for my grandchild who has extra wide feet. This shoe doesn't disappoint. Lightweight & comfortable , the shoes are true to size. New Balance was recommended to me by my podiatrist years ago for the support in all the right places arch ect. when I worked at the airport. I'm passing that down to my family. It's so hard when you can't find a shoe that fit comfortably when you have Extra Wide feet. Nothing like seeing a smile when it was time for new shoes and am told , Nana get me the same New Balance. 9.5 XW

Fresh foam 680v7 review

These shoes are super comfortable. Very low profile especially with low profile socks. They go very well with 19 and 20 inche shorts. They also look dope with jeans on. I'm on the go constantly as a landlord you never stop moving. I also go to the gym 4-5 days a week. Did I mention how light they are and they come in a number of different colors. Grey is my favorite the black and blue are also super sweet. I would totally recommend these shoes I have a number of pairs of them myself. New balance is pretty much all I wear. New balance your doing great keep it up thank you for the incredible shoes.

Great Shoe For Extra Wide Women’s Feet

I’m a woman with an extra wide forefoot and narrow heel and I wear orthotics. There’s never anything in the women’s section that is wide enough for me. This shoe, though, in extra wide fits great. It has great cushion. fits nice and snug on the heel and has plenty of room in the toe box. I really like the grey blue color. It has a denim kind of look to it. I hope to get another pair or two since I have such a difficult time finding comfortable athletic shoes.

New Balance - Fresh Foam Road Running

Purchased the shoes 2 weeks ago. As always, shipping/delivery from Altitude is spot on, top online service (in my opinion). As for the shoes, here are the highlights:- comfortable (highly)- soft / mesh outer material (stretchy, and comfortable) - I expect given the material the shoes will be delicate, and I will refrain from hardcore running on trails/dirt/gravel/woods and stick to road running (as the name says) - but shoes are still built well- foam cushion is thick, heavy cushion - great for running, not so great so inside gym deadlifts or squats, nor would I use these shoes for everyday use around town, material just seems too delicate to risk getting damaged - but I could see someone else wearing these around town for everyday use as they are so comfortable ... MorePurchased the shoes 2 weeks ago.

New edition better than previous one.

These are definitely an improvement on the previous edition.Yes they are smaller than you think I'm usually an 8 and I had to get a 9 and half. But apart from that no problems,so far at least. The new laces are grippier and don't slip through your fingers, the soles are springy, very lightweight, also comfy straight out the box.

Run in Comfort!

I have bought at least five pairs of these shoes for my husband. He is a marathon runner and he has a bunion on one of his toes. The wide toe box allows him to run in comfort, and the shoes last a long time. (He orders the widest shoes in size 12.) After he wears them for running for several months, he uses them for everyday wear. Don't let the relatively inexpensive price scare you. The shoes are great quality.

Shoes fine, laces terrible

The shoes fit fine, you can tell they're cheaper and missing some features of the 800 series. I tried downgrading this year to see if I was paying for more than I need. The shoes have been fine, but the laces are quite disappointing. I could get away with single knots on my previous pair. These laces are coming untied twice a day, so I have to double knot them and even then cinch it down pretty hard. I pulled the laces off my old shoes and they're much better.

Small and very slow delivery

Bought having tried some other New Balance in store. Annoyingly these ones come up smaller but I didn't realise until on first run so can't now return them.Sports direct not helpful throughout - slow delivery and no understanding that a product must be worn to check if fits.Trainers themselves feel good for cheap simple road running. Nothing fancy, just simple trainers.

Works great for women, too

I normally wear a women's size 10 shoe but can never find any that are wide enough. I have now purchased two pairs of this shoe in 8.5 extra wide in gray/blue because it fits wonderfully and I can fit my orthotics in it. Very lightweight and well cushioned. The gray/blue is almost a light denim color with turquoise accents and the mesh has a lacy look to it. Very nice looking for both women and men. Highly recommend!
