New Balance Women's Fresh Foam 680 V7 Running Shoe

I have been looking for a shoe for years that is comfortable enough and lightweight enough for teaching tai chi and qigong -- this shoe is it! I have been wearing thick socks for teaching before I found the Fresh Foam 680 V7. It is not only the fresh foam cushioning technology, it is also how lightweight they are, the general comfort of the shoe, the room in the toe box and feeling almost like a moccasin I would say -- just sooooo comfortable in every respect, yet beautifully supportive. (How'd they do that???) The laces length is just right. It's a good idea to loosen the laces a bit from the way they arrive before trying on. The mesh material all around the front and sides is great for this shoe's ultra and breathable comfort too!It is necessary to buy a whole size up -- I tried my size, 8 W, then 8 1/2 W, but 9 W was the right size in this style -- these variations of sizing between styles seems to be typical for New Balance sizing, but Amazon's "Prime Try Before You Buy" was very helpful to happily get the right size. If you get the wrong size, for one thing, the area around the laces will be widened and the laces will seem too short. If you get the right size, you'll love them!C'mon . . . Amazon has packageless returns or exchanges now -- it's easy! Please don't settle for a shoe that doesn't fit correctly. It makes me sad reading people think the shoe will stretch or the size they ordered will just make do. That's not comfort. As a foot reflexologist, the first thing I learned is that you won't break your shoe in, the shoe will break your foot in -- not good.Orthotics fit nicely underneath the shoe inserts.They wash well in cold water, gentle, air dry.They slip on easier using a small shoe horn, which can be purchased for $5 at any shoe repair store. The way they fit like a glove around the heel is worth this small trouble!I purchased 6 pairs in different colors -- 2 of them dedicated to just my tai chi/qigong personal practice and for teaching my classes. The colors are beautiful and snazzy!Thank you Amazon and New Balance! Please keep producing these Fresh Foam 680 V7's New Balance!

I love New Balance and these shoes did not disappoint! They are so comfortable. I always size up a half size and the fit is perfect. I wear an insert in both shoes because of insertional Achilles tendonitis, and they still fit perfectly. So cute, too. As a side note - the shoelaces are amazing - whatever they are made of is ingenious - they don’t come untied on their own like other shoes I’ve owned.

.....the lacing needs to be improved. VERY hard to adjust, especially the first couple of times. I don't know if the eyelet holes were made too small but I actually almost gave up on even putting them on, the first time I tried!😕 This has never happened before.On the plus side, AFTER I finally loosened up the lacing and got both shoes on, they felt good!😏Very springy feeling as you step forward, with good support overall.The cutest runners I have EVER owned too. Just love those fun colors including the laces.I did buy these with the intention of getting back to jogging outdoors so hopefully they will be up for that challenge. I will update if any issues arise later on.Geraldine Helen Hartman author of,🏃"Laughing at the Grim Reaper! Gems of Wisdom for Aging Well"🏖

This is my go too brand/style of tennis shoe. They're super comfy, don't need to be broken in, light, and I love the color.I work in a hospital and am on my feet all day. I can take them out of the box, put them on, and my feet don't get sore/tired.

This is actually the 3rd pair of this shoe that I’ve bought. The first pair, super comfortable and amazing, I accidentally shrunk in the washer. Gave those to my daughter. 2nd pair, I sized up a full size and went wide for fear of shoe shrinking again. Obviously, way too big. Reselling on Poshmark. This, the third and final pair, are perfect. Beautiful, so light and comfortable and so supportive. I’m a nurse and work 12 hour shifts and these shoes are EVERYTHING! 100% recommend. Just don’t wash them 😂😂

Loves this model. Keep buying it annually for basic daily walking. 5,000 to 10,000 steps a day. Great support, need to tie each use or back will break dow, but comfort and endurance worth it. 5' 9 " 160 lbs.

Always loved New Balance sneakers however these sneakers do not run true to size.

I am beyond impressed with the New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam 680 V7 Running Shoe! These shoes have truly elevated my running experience to a whole new level of comfort and support.The Fresh Foam technology is a game-changer – it provides an incredibly plush and responsive cushioning that makes each stride feel like walking on clouds. The arch support is just right, offering stability without sacrificing flexibility. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in fatigue and impact on my joints during and after my runs.Not only do these shoes excel in performance, but they also boast a stylish design. The fit is snug yet comfortable, and the breathability keeps my feet cool, even during longer runs. The durability is impressive, holding up well to regular use.Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting, the New Balance Fresh Foam 680 V7 is a fantastic investment in both comfort and style. I can’t recommend these shoes enough – they’ve become my go-to choice for all my running adventures! Five stars without a doubt.
