Customer Reviews New Balance WW577

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.

The way the tongue was attached to the shoe was not comfortable.

I like that this shoe is leather and am disappointed that the sizing runs small. I wear a 7.5M in any other brand, but with New Balance WW577 the length and width are both too small.

Hurt my toe, shoes is not comfortable, not enough arch support

Not wide enough, my toes were immediately squeezed in.

The shoe was way too wide and boxy for my foot and I ordered a narrow. When I walked the toe box/top of shoe would crinkle and rub on my toes because there was so much room making the shoe way too big, even with the correct length size. I had to return the shoe twice. This time, I am not ordering another size to try. It is disappointing as I need a comfortable shoe to wear at work and everything I try it way too big or there is no arch support to think of.

They are a well made all leather shoe with good support; however, very stiff and clunky. Needs breaking in, but not by me. I want to get shoes that are comfortable out of the box.

Very expedited shipping which was very important .Unfortunately,the fit was not right for my feet.

this shoe fit but I felt very unbalanced in it.

The shoe is not as wide as expected. This is my normal size and this was much too tight.
