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!

This is one of my favorite tennis shoes. I’ve worn it walking, Zumba dancing, and out-and-about. This is a comfortable shoe for me on several levels. The fit is perfect and I like the style. I have received several compliments on the color.

I've had these shoes for about a year and despite being light in color, they've held up really well. They are comfortable to wear all day and super lightweight.

.....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"🏖

I love these sneakers! True to size and I love the color goes with everything. Very comfortable. I’d like another pair but out of stock, hopefully you will get more in.

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 😂😂

I have had these exact model shoes before and they fit perfectly. These were short in length. If they had fit right they were a good value. Maybe I got a poorly sized pair but I didn’t try them one until it was too late to return because I always wore this same model. Try on as soon as you get them. Otherwise the color is nice and the shoe is usually great.

This is my second pair of these sneakers. They are very comfortable and last a long time.

Very comfortable.

Está muy bien hecho, muy cómodo y de calidad en los materiales.

Bonitos tenis los compré para regalo además a ella le encantan y cada vez que se los pone me dice que recibe buenos comentarios.

Modelo cómodo, muy ligero y una combinación de colores muy femenina

Perfecto, gracias
