Customer Reviews New Balance WW577

Nice round toe, but shoe is one inch too short, and too narrow in the wide width. the leather is too stiff to open up and be comfortable.

I’ve worn New Balance for years because NB athletic shoes fit my narrow foot well, provide arch support and look nice. This shoe is HORRIBLE. It feels, looks, and smells faux leather. It’s so stiff I had to really work to get it on. The sizing is off. It’s ugly.

Supposedly the correct size, but at least a full size smaller. Wish I'd kept the box so I could return them. They're just collecting dust.

You sent the wrong size. I am not happy because I ordered when there were "2 left" I feel sure that the company sent same shoe, 1/2 size smaller on purpose to make a sale. I think this because in the past when my size was out of stock zappo's suggested a different size, which is crazy. If the company had been accurate and told me it was out I could have driven to a store and bought a pair. Instead you made me package it up and take it to a UPS representative. All this when I was leaving town and wanted the shoes with me. Not happy.

Not awesome at all. The shoes squeak horribly. Bought them for my Wife, her walking shoes. The noise is unacceptable. Very first time this has ever happened. Always buy New Balance.

Because of my neuropathy, it helps to wear wide width sneakers. The width and length were fine, but I would not recommend these because... (1) The bottoms were extremely hard. They felt like bricks, and I only took few steps inside my apartment. (2) Absolutely no arch support (3) I noticed they were heavy, just taking few steps in my apartment. I returned them right away. Thank you Zappos!

uncomfortable

Too bad the company had to save a few pennies by shortening the tongue. They don’t work at all.

I was disappointed to find that the drawbacks in the reviews of other customers about these shoes are all true. It is at least half a size shorter than the size labeled of 10.5, fits like a 10 instead. It is accurate on the narrow width. The design and leather upper is good, and the fact the footbed is removable to use custom orthotics. The laces are a good length. The stiffness of the leather is very uncomfortable, and so is the lack of cushioning. It feels like walking in cardboard boxes. They also squeek, with or without orthotics. I will be returning these and trying a different brand of shoes. New Balance has failed to provide the comfort they once did in this and the other styles of their walking shoes, and I plan to skip using them in the future. At the prices charged for their shoes, they should pay more attention to padding and do some testing before putting them on the market.

These did not look like the picture. The toe part was literally square. I will be returning them.

This shoe is too rigid to walk in.

okay fit... too heavy

Overall uncomfortable. Much too stiff. Tongue is .75 "shorter than the model this shoe replaced. Too painful to wear.

I ordered a size 8.5 M and couldn't figure out why it was so hard to get them on, and impossible to wear. I looked at the inside of the tongue to discover they were an 8 N. The box stated the correct size I ordered, but that's not what was in it. These were an obvious return. I could see only one shoe had been tried on among other things. The person probably ordered two of the same shoes in different sizes and put the ones I received in the wrong box. However, that error should have been caught. Quality control was definitely not on the ball that dayI I hope this doesn't become a habit. I have always had great service with Zappos and was extremely disappointed.

These shoes were not comfortable at all. I didn’t even have them on 5 minutes. Returning them.

the entire shoe was incredibly stiff

This would have been the 3rd pair purchased but I found the sneaker to be very uncomfortable. Definitely not made the same as in the past. Cut smaller and very stiff. Very disappointing.
