- Is the 680 V8 good for beginners?
- Yes. It is a neutral, cushioned shoe with an 8 mm drop that suits new runners building easy miles. It is not designed for speed work.
- How does it compare with the Fresh Foam X 880?
- The 880 uses plusher Fresh Foam X and a more durable build. The 680 V8 is lighter and simpler, with firmer cushioning and fewer premium touches.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most owners say it runs true to length, but the standard width is snug in the toe box. Runners with broad feet should consider the wide width.
- Can I use it for walking and the gym?
- Yes. The soft midsole and mesh upper work well for walking, treadmill sessions and light gym use.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. This version has no Gore-Tex membrane, so it is not water-resistant. It suits dry roads and indoor training.
- What is the drop and weight?
- It has an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 7.7 oz in a women's size.
