Customer Reviews New Balance WW577

I always order athletic shoes one half size larger than dress or casual shoes, so the shoes felt true to size by this standard. The shoes were comfortable, even with my bunions. They have good arch support, and are a good shoe overall. The shoe has a large tongue, which rubbed my ankle, which is the reason I am returning them.

These are so un-cushioned that I couldn't even make it out the door with them on. I've been having foot problems for a few months and it was painful standing in front of the sink and simply brushing my teeth with these on, and that was with ibuprofen running through my system! I don't know how they're possibly approved for diabetics...do they not have any feeling in their feet?

Very wide through the toe area. Also very long in the toe area. Will try ordering smaller size.

Good shoe for a great price. I ordered the extra wide because I have flat feet with bunions. Unfortunately I had to send them back because they were too narrow in the toe box. I am all done buying shoes and keeping them in the hopes they will stretch and feel better. That is the great part about Zappo's.

was to short and not wide enough so foot felt squashed.

I was looking for a plain white shoe to wear at work. I am on my feet on a hard surface for much of the day. While the arch support is OK on these shoes, the ball of foot area has the thinnest padding of any New Balance shoe I have had (and I've had quite a few.) It was OK for the first couple of months, but over time, the material must compress. I finally had to put in extra insoles to pad that area so that the ball of my foot wouldn't be sore at the end of the day. If it weren't for that one issue, I probably would have rated this shoe a four overall. But it was an easy enough fix with adding extra padding.

Fit and size were fine, BUT the vinyl or leather like material that the tongue was made of was far too stiff. After wearing them around my house for a couple of hours I had an indentation in my ankle where the tongue touched it. After removing the shoes that dark red mark was there for a while after. Also, regarding appearance, as my millennial daughter out it, they were just too white. She says total white is for real senior citizens, not those of us just breaking 60. I usually get New Balance with a but of color, e.g. some teal, and she claims that little bit of color makes all the difference. So I’ve ordered a new style with a bit of color and a more flexible tongue.

I bought these to fit a special in-shoe brace for my foot and lower leg. Good news is the shoe is deep enough to accommodate the brace. Bad news is it is hardly a fashion statement.

I ordered these for my Mom. The tongue came up too high on her foot and because it was leather, it was stiff and uncomfortable. I returned them, thanks to Zappos excellent return policy.

nice shoe that fit well except there was something weird going on with the tounge.

Nothing will ever take the place of the old New Balance 811, and shame on NB for no longer producing them. I know from countless messages boards that they were a very popular shoe. This one is ok. My foot dr commented about how heavy they are. They are indeed heavy. I do well with them. I have wide feet, high arch, very high instep. These are just a tad snug when worn with a sock. I try to catch them on sale. I’d sure miss the old 811.

The toe box is wonderfully wide. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoe because of the tongue. It is very nicely padded, but the way it is attached inside, it is very think and takes up a lot of room. It is pressing on my foot, even with the laces all undone.

Tongue too long, cut into my ankle

one shoe was too short in length. very disappointing.

I have always loved New Balance, however this pair is very stiff, uncomfortable and does not fit like my many others.

These are comfortable enough generally, but the tongue is very hard and inflexible so hits against my fore-ankle painfully and there is no way to keep it from doing that. Otherwise, they are plenty roomy for arthritic feet but not so attractive. I returned them and bought Saucony Progrid Integrity ST2 instead, which are like heaven to walk in.

Wasn’t anything special. Bulky and not as comfortable as I would have liked.
