Full details

The New Balance 680v9 is a dependable neutral road trainer designed for adult runners who prioritize consistent performance and a functional, streamlined aesthetic. It is an ideal choice for daily training sessions where reliability is valued over complex technical features, though users seeking advanced motion control for extreme overpronation may find the neutral design less supportive than specialized stability models.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

No, the 680v9 is specifically designed for road and paved surface running.

Do these run true to size?

New Balance typically fits standard; if you use custom orthotics, you may consider a half-size increase.

How often should I replace these trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and gait.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

While primarily for running, their neutral, stable base makes them suitable for light gym training and treadmill sessions.

Are these considered a stability shoe?

No, the 680v9 is classified as a neutral trainer.

How do I ensure I am buying the correct size?

Check your existing athletic footwear size or measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it against the New Balance size chart.

Troubleshooting

Feeling tightness across the top of the foot

Re-lace the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the midfoot area.

Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs

Ensure the heel lock lacing method is used to keep the foot firmly seated against the heel counter.

Accumulation of dirt or mud on the mesh

Let the mud dry completely and then brush it off with a soft-bristled brush; use a damp cloth for lingering spots.

Pros and Cons

  • Effective neutral support for natural foot movement
  • Vibrant aesthetic with a clean blue and white colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your 680v9 trainers maintain their structure and performance, follow these guidelines. Start by adjusting the laces to achieve a secure lockdown that does not restrict circulation. Because these are neutral trainers, they pair well with custom orthotics if you require additional arch support. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild detergent. Remove the insoles after wet runs to allow them to air dry fully in a ventilated space away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
