Be aware of increased softness! New Balance 680v8 Review

Softness and cushioning are simply unreal in these shoes; they almost transport you to heaven. However, it's a deceptive comfort because after about half an hour, you might start to feel a significant amount of discomfort.
The New Balance 680v8 is one of the entry-level models of the brand. A key feature is increased stack height of Fresh foam midsole. Fresh foam is extremely soft and provides an unmatched amount of cushioning. It is not that bouncy, which is not that important, since you will probably use these shoes for daily life or recovery runs. However, this comfort due to cushioning is misleading.

    These are incredible. I feel like I’m walking on a cloud and I have NEVER understood what that truly meant until I wore these for the first time. Bouncy.

    Totally agree ! Soft shoes are terrible , often they bottom out and actually do not absorb shock !!!

    Durability is always a concern on NB shoes, now with added extra softness. Thenend of the video tells politely, that this shoes more suited for walking than running.

    I was going to get these for walking, now I’m not sure? They don’t look very unstable as walkers because the stack isn’t very high? There are certain shows like the ASICS Novablast that I found highly unstable, despite not being an unstable walker as such, so now I’m more careful about what to buy as I do like soft comfort. How would the stability rank here vs a super bouncy shoe like the Novablast?

    Stability shoes do not squish & flex side to side like these. Previous versions like the V6 were more stable. But true stability shoes have a harder, stiff sole. The 860 V12 for example has a stiff sole like a boot and is significantly heavier. The 860 V13 is probably closer to what you're looking for. It's on sale because the V14 is out. -It's really difficult to buy shoes online without being able to try them on. My sister used Zappos because they allow free returns and she has a hard time finding the right shoes.
