New Balance WW977 -
New Balance shoes have had some unreliable fits in the last few years, and after reading the comments on this model I ordered 2 pairs of half-size larger shoes in both 2AA and B width. The 2AA width was too narrow but the B width was perfect. They are the same length as another New Balance shoe, size 9, so you should probably order a half-size larger. They are very comfortable and fit right out of the box. The price of New Balance shoes are absolutely worth it if you get them properly fitted.

Great boot for problem feet -
Finally found an extra wide hiking boot that accommodates my orthotic with a comfy, boxy toe. Have had hammer toe surgery and have a bunion so I need the extra toe width. Love the look and comfort of this boot. I needed a half size larger but with Zappos that's no problem finding the right size with free shipping for returns.

Good shoes!
So great to be able to find a narrow width! They are very comfortable, so long as you wear proper socks with them that don't rub your little toes. They do seem to run a little short, no problem for me since I ordered a half size larger, because my regular NB walking shoes -- the best I have ever had! -- are the same and I ordered accordingly, based on sales rep advice by phone. Very well made, easy to lace. I find that I don't have to wear my shoe inserts with NB shoes. I have bad knees and NB shoes are great for that!

I thought it was comfortable while using it at home before wearing it to hike. However, when I did go hiking, the shoe felt tight. I need a wider shoe; however, it is difficult to find shoes wider than EE.

Very small -
This boot is described as being larger and wider than the usual size - this is the opposite. It is a full size smaller. Otherwise very good.

Excellent shoe. It is a little narrow but as I ordered them to wear with big socks it is fine. Especially like the light weight quality.

Dry, but short -
I have narrow feet (10 AA) and wear substantial orthotics. I work outside installing and working in gardens. I have needed waterproof shoes that can support my feet, but have never been able to find them for the past eight or so years. These shoes are the closest I've come yet. They are definitely waterproof, but they do not run true to size as the ball of my foot falls a little above the widest part and my toes are squeezed. It feels bad over a long day, something I did not realize in my "trial" wearing inside. I should have gotten a half size larger, I think, but am not sure this would make them feel better over a long day. I do love the way they look.

NB 977 Shoe Model/Color Differences -
FYI/Important note: Both shoes are excellent. However, the solid colored Brown GTX shoe runs a half size shorter and slightly narrower than the two-toned Walnut Brown shoe. I have both models and I needed an 8-1/2 B in the solid Brown GTX, while I needed an 8 2A in the two-toned Brown Walnut. The solid Brown also has slightly better arch support and fits a bit better overall.

A Therapeutic, Supportive, Comfortable shoe -
I have flat feet and wear orthotics. I also am "pigeon toed," due to the bone in my leg curving my feet inward. As a youth I wore corrective shoes. Therefore, I need seriously supportive, comfortable shoes to wear on a day-to-day basis, and also for walking. I put my orthotics into these shoes, and the shoes (NB WW977) meet my needs very well. I also wear other New Balance shoes, and I have found New Balance to surpass other athletic shoe manufacturers in the area of support and comfort.

This is a comfortable hiking shoe which offers great stability. Being water proof they work great for any weather. They are worth the money.

Shoe runs short -
This shoe was very comfortable, but for some reason it runs short. I wear 10.5 in all other New Balance shoes I own, but this shoe was too small at size 11. I got the narrow width and that was perfect, though.

These are excellent light hikers! Very comfortable. They're not only cute, but fit very well. As with most New Balance footwear, they do run short. I usually wear an 81/2 in other brands, but with NB-I have to wear a 9. My custom orthotics also fit inside.

Shoe Runs Short -
This review is for the WW977 in the plain brown color. It's a sharp-looking shoe (no yellow stripe) and is comfortable right out of the box. I normally wear a 9.5 to 10, but even the 10 was too short for me. Zappos did not carry the 10.5B, so I had to order from a competing site. After comparing the 10 and the 10.5, I found the larger size to be just what I needed. I was astounded that this shoe ran so short. I have NEVER worn a 10.5 in ANY shoe in my life! My size 10 will have to go back to Zappos.

Helps with the rocks!
OK, these shoes aren't the prettiest on my feet, but they do protect them from the rocks! I work in Iraq on a military base that is covered in rocks to keep down dust and help with mud problems. My heel was killing me prior to these shoes. The soles of these shoes really do help even the pressure of the rocks so you don't feel EACH one of them. Now I walk for exercise and pleasure not just for business.

Best all round shoe -
Great shoes, haven't had them off, no break-in needed. Bought GTX for gardening, walking etc. For the splendid comfort and support I bought a second pair (have fused ankle). There's room for orthodics. Especially appreciate hook lacing; laces stay tied! Thank you Zappos for rapid delivery.

New Balance WW977 w/ yellow stripe -
The fit is true to size and I wear them with orthotics -- very comfortable. Put them on and have been wearing them since. Plan to buy a second pair as I have problems getting a good fit in a hiking boot.

Gortex vs. leather -
I bought the Gortex version of the 977, but tried them both. They are totally different shoes. The Gortex one runs way smaller (I finally bought and kept the 8 1/2 D which is my normal size), but if you want the leather one to fit, size it down at least one size.

Great shoe -
This review is for the all-leather version, without the yellow stripe. I wore the boots in the deep snow at Tahoe over the weekend, and my feet were perfectly warm and dry. The double EEs were wide enough for my WIDE feet, and the shoes are amazingly lightweight and they make my size 9.5 look delightfully small. They do run a little short, though -- other reviewers have noted that (in comparison to the yellow-stripe model). I would have re-ordered for a size 10, probably, but they were out of that size and I needed them for the weekend. So, my big toe was a bit snug, but not painfully so and I wore them for a couple three-mile hikes. On "balance" :) I'm very happy!

I bought these just before a 14.2 mile hike, and they were great. Comfortable from the moment I put them on, to the moment I took them off.

Feels great -
I've always had a hard time finding wide width shoes with good arch support for my high instep. Zappos.com made finding wide widths easy. My first choice was out of stock, so I took a chance on the New Balance WW977. I had already returned boots that were too narrow that I purchased on another website. I, as a rule, don't buy shoes online because my feet are hard to fit. Now that I live in Europe with my active duty Army husband, my shopping is limited to the small selection at the PX or the expensive local economy (the Euro is too strong against the dollar making exchanging currency a pricey proposition). A coworker suggested I try Zappos.com since she knew they deliver to APO addresses. Even overseas I received my shoes in under a week. The fit is perfect without needing any break-in time! My last shoes caused the sides of my feet to ache because they were just not wide enough. These are wonderful! They feel like they have springs in the soles. I'm definitely going to check with Zappos.com FIRST when I need to purchase shoes in the future!

The best cold/wet-weather hiker for wide feet -
After years of wearing (non-NB) hikers that either didn't fit and/or didn't keep my feet warm & dry, I was thrilled when NB finally produced a serious waterproof hiker in my size (7.5 2E). Almost my entire shoe wardrobe is NBs and these are consistent with the sizing and quality I've come to expect. The only nit is that my pinky toes get a bit irritated on the outside if I don't wear thick enough socks for a long walk.

New Balance WW977 Brown with Yellow Stripe.
I love the WW977 in *the brown with yellow stripe*. In fact, I loved it so much that I have two pairs of them. They did fit perfectly from the moment I put them on. I wear them daily for my 5 mile walks...I put YakTrax on them and can go through just about any road condition. I also ordered the WW977GTX...***Whole Different Shoe***!!! Was tight and painful when I tried it on. I took out the insole that came with it and put in a flat Dr. Scholl’s. I wear a much lighter weight sock with it also. Probably should have just returned it for a half size larger and maybe a wider width. I ordered a 9 2A...which in the brown with yellow stripe was just perfect for the fit...and is the size I always order in New Balance. You can bet that the different style and material in the shoes make it different in fit. So I have two pair I love and one pair...the WW977GTX that I wear for trips to the store but not for walking long distances. Moral of story is ...just cause a shoe looks like another ...doesn't mean it will fit the same.

So grateful!!
In preparation for my one month trip to the Peruvian Andes & Amazon jungle, I tried almost every pair of light hiking boots at an outdoor retailer - I even bought a couple and took them home & tried them for awhile, but not one pair felt good on my difficult feet. I have a wide foot with a steep arch and every other boot I tried made some part of my foot feel numb or sore. After reading the reviews on these boots I bought a pair without even a fit test first. They were by far the most comfortable shoe of all! I didn't even have much time to break them in before my trip & they were completely comfortable! I did a ton of hiking in the Andes Mountains and a lot of trekking through the muddy Amazon jungle. These shoes were great in all cases (and my feet were never wet). Normally my feet are my weakness when traveling - but this trip I did not once complain of tired or sore feet - really a MIRACLE for me!! I did use some orthotics inserts with these shoes.
