Our take on the New Balance Women's Fresh Foam 680 v9 Running Shoe

The Fresh Foam 680 v9 is New Balance's entry-level neutral road trainer, built for everyday miles rather than speed work. A soft Fresh Foam midsole and breathable mesh upper keep it comfortable for walking, gym days and easy runs, and it comes in wide widths. It sits below the 880 and 1080 in cushioning and refinement, so runners who want a plush, responsive ride should look higher up the line. Owners rate it highly as a comfortable, durable everyday shoe.

Questions and answers

Is the 680 v9 good for beginners?
Yes. It is a neutral, forgiving trainer for easy runs, walk-run programs and gym use. Runners planning regular longer or faster sessions will want more cushioning and less weight.
How does it compare with the Fresh Foam 880?
The 880 has a plusher, more responsive midsole and a lighter build. The 680 is the simpler, heavier option for casual mileage and walking.
Does it fit true to size?
Most owners say yes, with a roomy toe box. If you are between sizes or wear thick socks, the wide width gives extra room.

Yes. The soft midsole and breathable mesh suit walking, standing and light gym work. The rubber outsole grips well on road and gym floors.
Is it a stability shoe?
No. It is a neutral shoe with no medial post, aimed at runners with normal pronation. Overpronators should look at a stability model.
