Product Information

Full details

The New Balance 680 Trainers are designed for adult males seeking a low-profile, comfortable shoe for everyday wear or light training. The key benefit is the Fresh Foam midsole providing lightweight cushioning and support, though they may offer less aggressive support for high-impact athletic activities. These trainers feature a lace-up fastening, padded tongue and ankle, a moulded insole, and a durable rubber outsole with textured grip tread, all branded with the signature New Balance logo.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The New Balance 680 Trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and responsiveness required for marathon running compared to dedicated performance running shoes.

How should I clean my New Balance 680 Trainers?

Wipe them with a damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. Always air dry them away from direct heat and avoid machine washing.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

These trainers utilize New Balance's Fresh Foam midsole technology, which is designed to provide lightweight and soft cushioning for enhanced comfort.

Can these shoes be worn by women?

While designed with men in mind, the low-profile trainers can be worn by anyone who prefers the style and comfort. It's recommended to check sizing charts carefully if a woman is purchasing these.

What is the grip like on different surfaces?

The shoes feature a durable rubber outsole with a textured grip tread, designed to provide reliable traction on various surfaces encountered during everyday activities and light training.

How do I ensure a good fit?

The trainers have a lace-up fastening system that allows for adjustment. Ensure you tie the laces securely but comfortably. The padded tongue and ankle, along with the moulded insole, contribute to a supportive fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the lacing technique needs adjustment.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Clean the textured grip tread on the outsole with a damp cloth or brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be reducing traction.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the shoes are properly laced for a secure but not overly constrictive fit. Check if the moulded insole is providing adequate support. For persistent discomfort, the shoes might not be the best fit for your foot type or intended activity.

Material appears scuffed

For minor scuffs, a damp cloth may be sufficient. For leather elements, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner can help restore appearance. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
