Fits very well

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2021

I had bought a different colour version of this shoe the week before and it performed well, being both comfortable and fits my wide feet great. So I simply bought an identical pair in a different colour.

Best value running shoe? I really wished they were!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2021

Being a average Runner for the past 6 years running regular 5km and10kms with various 1/2 and full marathons achieved I have gone through a lot of running shoes now at all budgets and these as I’m not training for any events plus 90% treadmill running I needed to retire my amazing ASICS Nimbus 21 seeing as they have done over 1000kms. So thought I need a stop gap shoe at the low end of the budget running shoes. I heard great things of New Balance shoes and the 680v6 having good reviews I thought worth a try at this amazing price (£44!). Used for typical week now here are my first impressions:
Positives - LOVE the look and build quality is great. Felt fast and form seemed better.
Seem light weight similar to previous Nike Pegasus
Stability and grip good even at my size
Negatives - straight away felt lacking in cushioning, feel a hard minimal shoe and after a week of running a mix of fast 5kms and slow recovery 12kms I have noticed minor feet aches and to be honest wanting to put my old 1000km ASICS back on! On the treadmill you can actually hear the harder soles banging the tread plate making me think I should’ve spent more especially if I’m think of doing longer distances. I have actually bought now new running socks that have helped which cost me £15 so I think I should have splashed some more cash. Maybe the soles foam will get softer I’m just hoping my previous run limiting injuries (shin splints) does come back again during that time.

Overall I wish I could have rated better as they look great and at this value I’d hoped for better as I have in the past bought shoes such as the Nike Dual Fusion 2 at this price and ran 1/2 marathons feeling fresh. My advice if you a larger sized runner running approx. 4-5 times a week over 10kms this isn’t the shoe, don’t skimp get them £90 plus higher end trainers as these will be my short fast pace shoes. I’m sure if you a 150 pounder whippet these are really good for any application and probably the best value shoe out there but for me I can’t recommend unfortunately.

Third time unlucky

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2020

Size: 8.5 UKColour: CobaltVerified Purchase

This is my third pair of NB 680 running shoes, I really liked my two previous (identical) pairs and ran my first Marathon in my trusty 680.5s last October. The new pair, despite being the same size 8.5 "D" fitting are definitely slightly smaller. I walked around in them indoors and they felt OK but having used them outside for a couple of days they have squeezed my big toes slightly so I am unsure about using them for running and will definitely not do more than 5K first time out. If you get a chance to try the shoes on I would definitely advise you to do so before purchasing. They are well made, look good and are also nice and light, but the size does seem inconsistent with my pairs of the previous generation 680.

Lightweight, good fit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2021

Size: 10.5 UK X-WideColour: GreyVerified Purchase

Lightweight, attractive muted greu with neon lemon accents, choice of width fitting made the fit noticeably better during longer runs. Nice higher heel reduces strain on calves and ankles over longer distances

Great Product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2021

Size: 8.5 UKColour: CobaltVerified Purchase

I ordered these and was expecting to have to send them back as I had read some reviews about issues with size, however after measuring the length of my feet using the size chart and ordering a size 8.5 when I would normally order a size 8 these were perfect. Probably the best fit I've had, even when I've been into a shop previously and tried trainers on. Very happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Great trainers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2021

Easily the best trainers I have had for casual life and 12 hours on my feet at work (nursing). I'm usually an 11, but need 11.5 wide in these.

Nice wide fitting shoe which is very comfortable and durable. Used for walking and gym visits; not sure how it is for runners but good value for money
