Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

painful hard leather at the end of the tongue.

The Velcro tabs are too short to close properly. Maybe because the shoes were too narrow. I am wearing New Balance 9.5 N style 608

I've ordered these in the past and the fit was perfect. I don't know why they've clearly changed the design, but the velcro straps are much too short and I cannot fasten them. Sadly, these will go back. I used to love New Balance, but the last few orders have been very disappointing.

Evas perfect for my wide feet with orthotics in place.

I got an extra wide shoe and it feels like a regular width shoe plus it is tight. Will NOT buy again.

The shoes are very stiff, and come up on my ankle. They are not at all roomy or comfortable, in spite of being sized as extra wide.

I liked the feel of these shoes but they allow my feet to over pronate too much for my needs. In addition the straps are too short for good looks. Appreciated the detailing that made these look less like "granny" shoes. Unfortunately, I had to return them.

They felt way too big, and the tongue was rubbing/irritating the front of my ankle during just a test of a few steps.

Propet sizing seems to be very hit or miss. My current pair in a different model were a bit snug at a size 10AA. These are the same size, but I'm swimming in them.

I ordered size 9.5 W New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop Sneaker in Beige because that was the only option that I could find in that color family for a price that I wanted to pay. Well, the shoe fits my foot, and it is not uncomfortable, but the Hook and Loop straps are not long enough to accommodate my orthotic for my left foot. I can just barely get it closed around the foot + UCBL, and then it bulges in an ugly way. I hope I can find another alternative color other than black or white in a leather sneaker for a reasonable price. If I didn't need to wear the orthotic I could keep these shoes because they are ok otherwise, but I need the support that the orthotic provides so it's not optional. I will return these shoes and hope that I can find something similar that comes in a lace-up version.

Sturdy construction. Rounded toe box.

Other reviewers weren't kidding about the velcro strap being too short. I have no confidence that the velcro would hold, also concerned that pants, etc would stick to the exposed velcro.

STIFF! Tongue too long; would make blister on front of ankle.

Excellent Fit

Why did they shorten the straps that hold the shoe on? I have had this shoe in the past with long straps but these short ones will not stay fastened. I ended up donating the shoes to a charity as I couldn't wear them!!
