New Balance Men's Cushioning 680 V6Running Shoe

These are really nice trainers, but they are definitely sized on the smaller size. I normally wear a size 9(UK) and these feel more like an 8.5. They aren't wildly out on the size but you can feel it straight away. Apart from that they are very nice trainers, look good and are very comfy.

Great trainers, my husband really likes them. Great fit, very comfortably too.

Great looking, great quality, great price. Very snug fit, but I don’t mind that. Would recommend.

I have had this model NB for nearly two years. Now I got it in 3 colours. The sole is particularly good in keeping the weight in healthy balance for walking and running. I hardly wear anything else. The sizes of NB do not correspond to UK sizes, so one has to buy one size up for these shoes. If you wear 10, you need to order 11. They are relatively durable but if you wear them all the time like me, after roughly a year you may wish to have another pair. My first pair is still wearable but the inside fabric on the back of the feet is slightly torn.

I ordered these and was expecting to have to send them back as I had read some reviews about issues with size, however after measuring the length of my feet using the size chart and ordering a size 8.5 when I would normally order a size 8 these were perfect. Probably the best fit I've had, even when I've been into a shop previously and tried trainers on. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Being a average Runner for the past 6 years running regular 5km and10kms with various 1/2 and full marathons achieved I have gone through a lot of running shoes now at all budgets and these as I’m not training for any events plus 90% treadmill running I needed to retire my amazing ASICS Nimbus 21 seeing as they have done over 1000kms. So thought I need a stop gap shoe at the low end of the budget running shoes. I heard great things of New Balance shoes and the 680v6 having good reviews I thought worth a try at this amazing price (£44!). Used for typical week now here are my first impressions: Positives - LOVE the look and build quality is great. Felt fast and form seemed better. Seem light weight similar to previous Nike Pegasus Stability and grip good even at my size Negatives - straight away felt lacking in cushioning, feel a hard minimal shoe and after a week of running a mix of fast 5kms and slow recovery 12kms I have noticed minor feet aches and to be honest wanting to put my old 1000km ASICS back on! On the treadmill you can actually hear the harder soles banging the tread plate making me think I should’ve spent more especially if I’m think of doing longer distances. I have actually bought now new running socks that have helped which cost me £15 so I think I should have splashed some more cash. Maybe the soles foam will get softer I’m just hoping my previous run limiting injuries (shin splints) does come back again during that time. Overall I wish I could have rated better as they look great and at this value I’d hoped for better as I have in the past bought shoes such as the Nike Dual Fusion 2 at this price and ran 1/2 marathons feeling fresh. My advice if you a larger sized runner running approx. 4-5 times a week over 10kms this isn’t the shoe, don’t skimp get them £90 plus higher end trainers as these will be my short fast pace shoes. I’m sure if you a 150 pounder whippet these are really good for any application and probably the best value shoe out there but for me I can’t recommend unfortunately.

I am not a runner so would not have even looked at running shoes, However I recently visited a podiatrist as for years I have had foot problems which have been getting worse with age ( age 75) to the point I dislike walking anywhere, daily pain, flat feet, plantar fasciitis, ankle pain and feeling my foot giving way, I have spent a fortune on ‘sensible’ shoes, which often fail to come up to expectations, not able to wear heels, pretty ballet pumps or sandals due to not enough support, he recommended new balance 680, and to get them in 8.5, I wear a womens size 7 usually, and have never worn trainers, I bought these and the womens 680 both in the same size 8.5, to see if there was an appreciable difference in width or length of the shoe, there doesn’t seem to be, I wore these for 8 hours, walked to and from the shops, about 2 miles, no pain! Kept them on and pottered about for the rest of the day, wore them for 11 hours, much longer than I usually wear a pair of shoes, at the moment I feel so happy to be able to walk without pain, but this is only the first few days,

Good quality shoes. Had to return. I am normally a size UK 7.5 in New Balance trainers. However the 7.5 in this style are too small. I need an 8 in this particular style but a size 8 isn’t available Very quick delivery. Hoping the return will go as smoothly.
