New BalanceMen's Fresh Foam 680 V7 Running Shoe

I have another pair that have finally worn out since 2017. Remember- these fit to size. if you wear a 10, don't buy a 9 wide. Buy the 10. Great arch support and comfortable. They breathe well. My feet never get hot or sweaty. These runners are comfy and can even give you good support on moderately difficult hiking trails without any problems.

Originally bought this shoe for lounging around, but after a few runs in it i ended up liking this better than the running shoes i had bought. Low stack height, rolls forward well and has a good balance of firmness and cushioning without feeling dead and has a nice slightly bouncy feel on fast runs and intervals. Tried a few full half marathon runs on them but they're probably not suited for 6+ mile runs, could use more cushioning and support for that. Not sure why the same size was around a full smaller than their 880v12 so that's something to watch out for, but the extra wide is still properly extra wide although the toe box height is on the low side. These aren't major downsides for me, but have to point out that arch support is definitely less and the shoe feels less stable compared to their 880v12 and the Brooks Ghost 13 and 14.

I've run for almost 3 years in the defunct NB Evare, my first Fresh Foam shoe which offered very good cushioning. The 680v7 is similarly priced replacement. The 680 doesn't feel quite as cushiony and the heel is lower but I find it good for my 4 mile runs. Some complain about the narrow toe box but I find the toe box roomy compared to my other NB shoes.One BIG quibble - sizing. I bought my first NB shoes 10 years ago, size 10.5 D. Over the years, NB sizing has become smaller and smaller to the point where I'm ordering size 13. I take maybe size 10 in regular shoes. Extremely annoying.Size 13 is slightly loose but 12 is too tight. But it works well for me since there's room for the PROFOOT Orthotic Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis which compensate for the cushioning and heel height and also add arch support. Running feels very comfortable with the inserts.

Nice and comfortable shoe I ordered size US 9.5. I think it came a little short in size.

I absolutely love these sneakers. They are light and comfortable and the ex-wide is perfect for my wide feet. They also fit my orthotic inserts comfortably.

Comfortable walker. Soft on foot

This is my goal to athletic shoe. New Balance is anot excell entry product.

New Balance is my go-to for affordable, reasonable quality athletic shoes that fit wide feet. Their shoes are true to size, fit my wide feet, and last a reasonable amount of time. Obviously you get what you pay for, and their premium shoes offer more, but the value shoes hit a sweet spot for me.This 680 is the same as always. I've been wearing it for six months and it's held up. When it falls apart I'll buy another.I have never been unhappy with a New Balance shoe.
