The way the tongue was attached to the shoe hurt my foot. The material was to thick.

The inside can open wide; however, the closing straps are stiff and get stuck so didn't work for mr. I have only 1 functioning hand. I ned them.

Unfortunately I used the shoe on only one walk. I had to cut my walk short because I experienced pain on my foot. The shoe seemed too stiff and perhaps the velcro straps were not positioned correctly for my foot.

The sneakers run terribly short. I usually wear a size 8 but after reading the comments from former people that order them, they said these run short so I ordered up a 1/2 size still to short. I'll try a size 9 to see if this will work.

Let me start by saying that I have worn New Balance shoes for 30+ years - no problems and fit well, even with a narrow foot! However, upon receiving these shoes, they felt hard and uncomfortable. Being that I literally sit in a chair for 8 hours a day at work, I decided that it wasn't worth sending them back. I figured they would be alright and soften up with time. Well, every day sitting in that chair, my little toe burns like it's on fire!!! It's terrible! I have to problems, nor have I ever had any problems, with any other shoes that I have. I would strongly advise not to purchase this style. I normally wear them to work several months, then take them to use for exercise walking. There is absolutely, positively NO WAY that I will attempt to walk in these shoes. I am going to purchase another style that I've had before and hope that they are the same quality that I'm used to receiving. If they feel anything like these, they will be returned immediately.

I have been buying NB shoes exclusively for more years than I can remember, but will not buy them again. Quality has declined, shoe style and shape has changed and I am one sad x-customer!

I bought the 577 shoe and it is very uncomfortable. I bought New Balance for several years because of the different widths. I need a narrow shoe and not many companies do narrow shoes. A couple of years ago I noticed New Balance wasn't the same shoe I was used to. It was little shorter and the seams rubbed blisters on my feet. I decided to try another brand of shoe. Those shoes were great but now that company doesn't not make narrow shoes anymore, so I'm back to New Balance and I hate them. This is the last pair I will purchase. I used to think New Balance was the only shoe there was but no more. New Balance is like all the other companies comfort and quality doesn't matter anymore.

The straps are so short that you cannot close the Velcro if you have Sox on. I returned them

The top hook & loop strap is too high up. The whole strap and connectors need to be lowered slightly as does the tongue.

I medically need a good walking shoe with velcro closing. I have bought NB shoes before from the store and been very satisfied. However, this pair I ordered on line were not up to the quality. The velcro on both shoes was cut short and actually buckled on the one side. I have returned the shoes, but it will take a long time for refund because of the virus pandemic. I am very unhappy with this experience!

I cut an inch off the tongue because it was so long that it dug into my legs. My legs hurt for 2 days after I wore them for a day. It's not worth buying any shoe that you have to alter so much to be comfortable.

This was not a comfortable shoe by any means, The shoe is extremely hard and there is absolutely no cushion. I went back to my old shoes for my walking and won't be using these unless I go buy soft insoles. Very disappointing.

I wore the sneakers once and my feet still hurt. I am planning to return them and will probably buy elsewhere.

I think there is something wrong with the construction of one of the shoes. While the right shoe felt and wore fine, the left shoe tongue rubbed my outside ankle and caused a very painful bruise. I was force to fold the tongue back on itself to stop further rubbing. I have always worn new balance and have ever had an issue, as I’m on my feet a lot at work walking a little over 6 miles a day. Since they are now used I’m out the money.

These are very uncomfortable sneakers. The sole is extremely hard and painful to stand or walk on for long periods. I'm 46 and in normal health and after wearing these all day at work, my feet and legs ached. The soles of my feet felt bruised and numb. I soaked in Epson salt bath and took ibuprofen to deal with the pain, it was that bad. The size fit, they were just terribly hard and uncomfortable. I've never had this bad of an experience with any shoe.

I returned these sneakers immediately. The "tongue"is very rigid and rubbed against my foot-a blister waiting to happen. I expected better construction from New Balance.

Brick hard, absolutely no give. I'm not sure they are even leather. Toe box is not roomy, either.

I returned this shoe because the fit wasn't comfortable on my feet. It was too stiff and both the tongue and heel came up too high and rubbed.
