FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
While the New Balance 680 trainers offer good comfort for daily runs, they are best suited for shorter to medium distances. For marathon distances, you might consider models with more advanced cushioning and support specifically designed for long-haul running.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the primary purpose of the New Balance 680 trainers?
The primary purpose of the New Balance 680 trainers is for adult female runners engaged in daily road running, jogging, and general fitness activities. They balance comfort, support, and durability for these uses.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A proper fit means there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and performance, wear moisture-wicking athletic socks designed for running. These help prevent blisters and keep your feet dry during your activity.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The New Balance 680 trainers provide moderate support suitable for neutral pronation. If you require significant arch support for overpronation or other specific needs, consulting with a footwear specialist is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure socks are appropriate for running. Check the lacing technique for even pressure distribution. If the issue persists, the shoe's fit or intended use might not be ideal for your specific foot type or running style.
Exterior dirt or stains
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
