Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 680 trainers are designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and breathable shoe for everyday training activities. Its key benefit lies in the dual-density Fresh Foam midsole, offering a lightweight and cushioned experience. A potential consideration is that while the technical mesh enhances breathability, it might offer less water resistance in wet conditions.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The New Balance 680 trainers are designed with a standard width. While the seamless upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It is always recommended to try them on or check for available wide-fit options if offered by the retailer.
What is the primary benefit of the Fresh Foam midsole?
The Fresh Foam midsole provides exceptional cushioning and a lightweight feel, designed to offer a plush and comfortable ride that absorbs impact effectively during wear.
How breathable are these trainers?
The technical mesh upper is engineered for high breathability, allowing for excellent air circulation to keep your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer conditions or physical activity.
Can I wear these for long-distance running?
The New Balance 680 trainers offer good cushioning for moderate distances. For very long-distance running or high-mileage training, you might consider models specifically designed for high-performance marathon running, which may offer enhanced support and durability.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently clean the mesh upper using a soft brush or cloth with cool water and a mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or putting them in a washing machine.
Are these waterproof?
No, the technical mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light moisture, not heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the warranty period for New Balance trainers?
New Balance typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific warranty details can vary by region and retailer, so it is advisable to check with the point of purchase for precise information.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Reduced cushioning over time
The Fresh Foam midsole may naturally compress with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage or wear.
