Details & care

Maximum cushioning meets minimal weight in an everyday running shoe set on heel-to-toe Fresh Foam that takes you from racking up miles to running errands to relaxing with friends.

Perfect for: Everyday runners looking for durable, full-foot cushioning with a lightweight feel that keeps up at any distance.

Upper: Precision-engineered knit provides targeted ventilation and flexes and recovers with your foot as it moves through each stride. Plush collar offers a comfortable, stay-put fit.

Midsole Drop: 8mm. Classified as a mid-drop measurement, it pushes your foot forward to support a more natural mid/forefoot strike.

Lower: Fresh Foam cushioning made in part with bio-based materials provides plush, full-foot comfort for everyday training and everyday activities. Targeted rubber in the tread puts traction where you need it and not where you don't to minimize extraneous weight.

  • Cushioning: absorbs impact and distributes weight for consistent, buoyant comfort under each step
  • Ultralightweight: provides high-performance cushioning with extremely minimal weight
  • Hybrid: transitions from a running shoe to a street sneaker with high-performance comfort for any activity
  • 1 1/2" platform (size 10.5)
  • Lace-up style
  • Removable, cushioned insole allows for custom orthotics
  • Fresh Foam performance cushioning provides heel-to-toe comfort
  • Textile and synthetic upper and lining/rubber sole
  • Imported
  • Item #10433743

Not Comfortable for Me
I recently purchased the New Balance Fresh Foam 680v8 running shoes and wore them for about three days, but unfortunately, my experience was not positive. After the first day, I started noticing discomfort in my left foot, which quickly turned into severe pain when walking. The pain became bad enough that I had to stop wearing them altogether. I was really hoping these would be comfortable for everyday wear, especially given the brand’s reputation, but they did not work for me at all. Everyone’s feet are different, but based on my experience, I would not recommend these shoes—especially if you’re looking for something supportive and comfortable right out of the box.

For Everyday use or the gym rats
These shoes are perfect for everyday or for the gym. I use these regularly for my walking as my NB Fuel hit a little too high at the heel for comfort. These fit great on my wide toe box and are super cute with the lavender.

NICE SNEAKERS
I'm enjoying these sneakers...soft outter so my toes move easily (not stiff like other sneakers). I got them from this company for a really great discounted price. Shipping was very easy to me and fast. hxx for your great company and the diverse items you carry.

Love them
Love these shoes! I have several pairs of the 1080s so I was hesitant to get these but they’re great. Not only are they light and cushiony, but they allow for air flow as my feet get really hot when I have shoes on for so long. They’re so comfortable and the awesome colors are a plus!

Very Comfy walking shoes
The fit is perfect, and they are very comfortable to walk in, and wear all day. They are lightweight but supportive.
