FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the lightweight design and cushioned midsole make them an excellent choice for individuals who stand for long periods.
Can I use these for trail running?
While the outsole provides good traction on various surfaces, these are designed primarily for road and indoor gym use.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most New Balance 680 models feature a removable insole if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and surface wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping or discomfort during runs
Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure a secure lockdown; ensure you are wearing the correct size for your arch type.
Outsole debris buildup
Use a soft brush or a blunt tool to carefully remove small rocks or dirt trapped in the tread patterns to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your New Balance 680 trainers, proper care is essential.
- Break-in Period: Wear your new shoes for short sessions initially to allow the cushioned midsole to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Remove laces and wash them separately. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat appliances which can cause the materials to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh lining.
