Customer Reviews New Balance WW577

I ordered these shoes in 10AA (I seem to need a 10 in New Balance) in white. They seemed pretty comfortable, but they were rather heavy and klunky-looking. In addition, the sides came up pretty high to my ankles, and I would have had to insert pads below my orthotics to make them more comfortable. That said, they were pretty comfortable with the orthotics. However, I decided to return them and try out a lighter, more stylish pair. Fingers crossed!

Shoe is a great value, but needed a half size larger--and Zappos took care of that--thank you Zappos!

Not for me. I was looking to replace another pair of New Balance shoes that I have but these did not fit the same. The toes box seemed to be very roomy. Not a good fit for my foot

This is a great everyday walking shoe, and really looks nice in white. The last, which is New Balance's SL-2 is perfect for me, a wider toe box and a narrower heal. I did say that the shoe is true to size, but it might be a smidge too big. I don't think I could have taken it smaller really, especially if I wore heavier socks, and I take the same size, an 8 in all New Balance shoes. If you are looking for a classic walking shoe without a lot of bells and whistles, this is it. I really love it; it looks great with yoga gear, running gear and jeans with a plain white T. Enjoy it.

They feel like they must look clunky, but with my "old age" bad feet, they really help. So nice to have a place that sells well-made shoes for women in extra wide sizes. Have always had wide feet but the neuropathy and swelling is new. Thanks Zappos!

These were very comfortable but ultimately too dowdy. I wish there was a breathable black shoe that doesn't look like my uncle's shoes. I just ordered some Cole Haan- hoping those will fit my needs.

I will be ordering them again today.

Felt high and bulky and a bit tight. Returned.

The leather was soft and flexible, however the tongue of the shoe is bulky and was uncomfortable at the top of my foot while I walked around my house. I can only imagine it would be worse outside. Sadly, I returned these.

I love these shoes, but they creak! the soles are noisy squeakers. Any ideas how to make it stop?

I have been wearing New Balance 928’s for the last 3 years. Since New Balance made changes to the 928’s I have been unable to find a shoe that is as comfortable as the original ones. I tried the NB 577 shoes and amazingly they are extremely comfortable. I bought them a half size larger after reading some reviews that said they run small. I usually wear a 10 and the 10 1/2 fits me really well. I like the fact the uppers are leather and not synthetic. They are roomy enough to put my own orthotics into with plenty of space to spare. They are very well cushioned and feel very much like the original 928’s at a much lesser price. I bought the black ones and I just put in an order for the white ones too. I wish they came in more colors though. I hope New Balance does not try update this shoe as it is great just the way it is.

These 8W were not wide enough and that is the normal size I wear in New Balance shoes. They run small.

After shoe shopping for a month before my trip to WDW in Florida, I was down to receiving my last Zappos shipment the day before I left, so I did not get the chance to really break in these shoes before doing the 13-18K steps a day at the parks. The only issue I had was that the tongue of the shoe is very stiff and I actually developed a bruise on my left ankle from where the tongue hit on the first day of wearing them. After that, I left that shoe untied for the majority of the rest of the trip. The last couple of days (we were gone two weeks) I was able to loosely tie the shoe with no problem. The rest of the shoe handled all that walking very well. The style is a little clunky looking, but they changed the WW411 so much that it doesn't work for me anymore and I needed a good replacement for walking major steps on vacation. These shoes fit the bill. If it wasn't for the bruising from the tongue, I would have given these shoes a 5 star rating for overall and comfort. I still recommend them - perhaps if I'd found them early in my search I would have been able to break them (and the tongue) in slowly and it would not have been an issue. Something for you to be aware of, however. Zappos, as usual, was great with me being able to order shoes to try them on at home, then easy return for the ones that did not work out.

Felt too wide on my toes. Returned them. Plus: they are soft and flexible.

These shoes were very comfortable but made my feet look like flippers when looking down at them. They are wide and so are my feet, but they give far more room for toes than any wide width shoe I've tried.
