Our take on the New Balance Women's Fresh Foam 680 V8

The Fresh Foam 680 V8 is New Balance's entry-level neutral road running shoe, built with a soft Fresh Foam midsole, an 8 mm drop and a breathable mesh upper. At about 7.7 oz it is light for a cushioned trainer and comes in normal and wide widths, which makes it easier to fit than many budget rivals. It suits casual runners, walkers and gym-goers who want comfort over speed; serious runners will find the foam firmer and less responsive than pricier neutral shoes like the Fresh Foam X 880. Owners rate it highly for everyday comfort and value, though some mention a snug fit and modest durability.

Questions and answers

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.
