New Balance Women's Fresh Foam 680 V8 Running Shoe

I’ve been wearing the New Balance Fresh Foam 680 V8s for a few weeks now and I absolutely love them. They were comfortable the moment I put them on—no break-in period needed. The cushioning and stability feels great, especially if you’re on your feet a lot like I am. I've gone through a ton of shoes trying to find something comfortable enough to wear daily with my hammer toe issues. They’re lightweight but still feel supportive, and I’ve noticed way less foot fatigue after long walks or errands. The fit is true to size, and the breathable mesh keeps my feet cool even on warmer days. Also, I really like the way they look—sleek and simple, but still stylish enough to wear out and about. Overall, they’re a great everyday shoe for comfort, support, and value. Highly recommend!

I’m very happy with these NB sneakers. They fit true to size and are comfortable right out of the box, with good cushioning and support for everyday wear. The quality feels solid and they look even better in person than in the photos. Great value for the price and exactly what I expected from New Balance. I would definitely recommend them.

SUMMARY: Comfortable, run a tad small (see below for details), sturdy construction, good price point. Buying shoes online can be a challenge. I did a lot of research using runrepeat.com and decided on these New Balance Fresh Foam 680 V8. I'm not a competitive runner. I mostly power walk/sprint for exercise about 3-4 times a week, so I can't comment on these shoes from a "marathon" runner perspective. COMFORT: Comfortable for both walking and running, however I wouldn't rate them as super cushiony. I haven't experienced any pinching or rubbing. I typically prefer a more pronounced cut-out in the heel (looks like a V) to minimize heel rubbing, but so far so good. ARCH SUPPORT: About medium, which is fine for my foot. If you need a more supportive arch, then you may want to pass on these or think about supplementing with inserts. DURABILITY: Fabric durability scored high (runrepeat), which is good news considering a lot of mesh shoes end up with blow-outs in a short period of time (UGH!). The bottom soles also scored high - Since they're new, I can only say time will tell and I'll update my review if I determine otherwise. SIZING: These run a bit small, but based on my research, I knew that and ordered a half size up in wide. I'm a true 5.5 B and the size 6 W fit me fine, with ample room, but not so much that they flop around on my foot. OTHER: I'm old school and like to lace/tie my on shoes so "I" can decide how loose or snug I want them on my feet. These have that (Yay!). COST: New Balance has a pretty solid reputation for producing quality shoes. At the time of my purchase, I found these to be a good buy @ $64.99.

Wish I ordered X wide I’m a 5 1/2 wide. Usually works but these have a more snug toe .

This is my second pair of these shoes, as I wore the first pair out on a mission trip. I have large, flat feet, and these truly support my heels when I am standing or moving around for a long time I like to wear them to the gym And to walk in. The coral color is very pretty in person and I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on them they are great quality like most new balance shoes are and they fit true to size. I highly recommend them for the price.

I just bought this New Balance women's fresh foam 680 v8 running shoe and it is a winner. My former treadmill and workout shoes were also thick soled, but there were two layers to the sole, and they started to separate. This New Balance shoe has one solid sole and is very comfortable, spongy and bouncy. I wear a true 7 and these are snug with my workout socks on but will stretch just enough over time as the top is a synthetic material. If you are between sizes, I would recommend ordering up a half size. I feel very stable in these shoes even though the base does not extend beyond the sides as my other shoe did. The sole does not feel slippery. I like the light blue color with the contrasting green sole, but you do not see much of that while wearing. As one ages, the soles of our feet seem to get thinner, and I truly recommend these sneakers even for everyday wear for older (over 60) individuals. I sincerely recommend these for people who are on their feet all day. I wore mine a few days ago all day to “break them in”, but that was not necessary as these fit perfectly from the moment I put them on; no binding, no blisters, no problems. I hope to enjoy these for a few years of heavy use. Positives: • Well made solid one piece sole • Breathable • Good arch support • Exactly as advertised • Nice color selection • Attractive • Many positive reviews online • Reasonable price Negatives: • None 5 stars

Comfortable and decent-toe room but needs more support in/around the inner-heel area. When I walked around it felt like my heel was sinking in in that area. I returned them because of this.

Just what I needed. I recently injured my foot and the doctor told me to get better arch support shoes. Since I prefer the look of New Balance over Hoka, New Balance is what I bought. Very good arch support! The wide size is perfect for me to wiggle my toes compared to their regular sizing that is a bit too tight (at least with my injury). Comfortable while walking around the mall for hours.

For years I have been looking for comfortable shoes for tennis. These running shoes fit the bill. Normally tennis shoes can take several weeks to gradually wear in. These were instantly. comfortable. Traction is excellent and I can move much quicker enabling me to get to more balls.

Muy bonitos y cómodos, solo el color un poco distinto a como se describe. Mi mamá tiene placas en su tobillo y es muy difícil encontrar algo cómodo, menciona que los amó.

toller Schuh, sieht wertig aus und macht einen guten Eindruck. Mir war er leider ein wenig zu schmal. Die Rückgabe erfolgte problemlos, daher klare Kaufempfehlung

Liebe ich, super bequem, super schick

NB is always true to size. Good colour for winter too.
