Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

I got these to wear for pulmonary rehab and they are perfect. Easy to put on and fasten for those of us who can no longer handle shoestrings. Comfortable too.

Having worn New Bal with laces for years, she began tripping over the laces. These shoes solved that problem. They are comfortable stylish.

Extremely comfortable shoes. I have had polio and my leg brace fits inside these shoes. They are study and provide great ankle support. The insoles are throwaways, but I have my own orthotics anyway. The tongue extends up the ankle, which I did not find comfortable, but I just cut off the part that hurt my foot. Works fine. Nice toe box, no pinching.

Great service, fast delivery and great shoe. No complaints just praise - wide enough toe box, not like other shoes.

The New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop walking shoe is extremely comfortable and supportive. I like the hook and loop closure because I never have to stop walking in order to tie my shoes. Because I have problem feet, it is difficult for me to find a pair of shoes that is equally comfortable for both feet - these shoes are. Even when they are new, there is no breaking-in period needed. This is the third pair of these shoes I have owned, and I will, no doubt, order more in the future.

I had the exact pair in black, so I know the fit. Perfect for my thin feet. I have read complaints that the straps are too short and the Velcro catches on the pants legs. Just put a piece of Velcro on the uncovered area. You can buy Velcro at WalMart or just about any grocery that has a notions dept. Love this shoe, and removable insole so you can add your own orthodontics. Runs true to size and width.

Purchased these for my mom for her birthday. She loves them! She says they are so light on her feet and with her bad hip it makes it easier for her to get around.

My shoes arrived today and I am very pleased with them. I ordered a wide width because my toes always hurt and these have lots of room. Thank you, Zappos.

I really like the style because the hook and loop fastener makes it easier to adjust the degree of closure over the arch. This may need to be changed during the day.

I brought these for my aunt who never wore sneakers in her life. She loves them. They are comfortable and sturdy. I'm getting her another pair. By the way, she's 93 years old!

I've got hand and foot problems, so regular laces are both something difficult to tie and something that could cut off circulation if done poorly. I like Velcro for its practicality but prefer not to wear children's shoes or old lady shoes. These are perfect - they are solid black. Even the velcro itself is black. It's a bulky shoe, but it's wide width. They feel like angels singing on my feet. Very few people are ever going to stare at them long enough to notice they're velcro, not laced. Here's a peeve I've had before: The velcro attachment was not made wider even though the body of the shoe is wider. This is something you see in women's clothing too and it drives me nuts. I bought a large coat but the tie was the same length as on the small coat. When I tied the belt, it stuck out like a bowtie. The velcro is great on these shoes, I just need more of it. I can't fully line it up over the broken foot, which is taller than most feet. This isn't exclusively a New Balance problem. Overall, I love NB shoes.

I use them as a house shoe. They are easy on and off and quite comfortable when standing long times cooking in the kitchen.

I wanted something with support that was easy to put on to go walking in. These fit the bill. Very comfy, love the Velcro straps. Go up a half size...I read the reviews and got an 8 instead of a 7 1/2 . They fit fine.

I purchased these for my mother in law who has painful bunions. I decided on the double E width and went with her usual size (8). She absolutely loves them and says she no longer feels pressure in the bunion area. She can actually walk around again so I highly recommend these shoes if you have a need for very wide sneakers.

I bought these for my Mother in law to wear in a Nursing home. They are great to put on and off because of the velcro straps. I always buy these. I love Zappos. I ordered on Sunday and they were here on Tuesday.

I have worn New Balance shoes from Zappos for many years and am always satisfied with my choice - hook and loop. I am 85 years old and do not like to tie my shoes which can become cumbersome. I take good care of my feet because they have to last me a life time. I have no aches or pains even though I broke my hip 5 years ago and had surgery. Lately I was experiencing back discomfort and my son suggested I needed new shoes. I ordered from Zappos and received them next day. After wearing for 1 day, I had no more back pain. Enough said.

Excellent - as described - prompt shipping and delivery. Will buy from them again.

My disabled sister likes another brand of hook and loop that was discontinued, so I was desperate to find her different shoes. The lg toe box is great. I knew she would say that the upper area was stiff so I wore the shoes a few days hoping for softening. I have orthotics because of plantar fasciitis and neuromas. The arch may be just fine to those with normal feet. She has not complained so life is good.

These sneakers fit my mother perfectly. I needed them before she went into assisted living and I received them very quickly in the mail. My mother who has Osteoarthritis can now put on her own shoe. The shoes look great and do not look like the ugly orthopedic shoes. They are also much cheaper.

My mother had wanted a replacement for a similar pair of shoes with a zipper closure (in another brand). When I found those were no longer available, I thought this might be a suitable option for her narrow heel, high arch, and wide toes area. I sent them to her for her recent birthday, and initial reports are good. Her only concern was that the Velcro strips weren't long enough to completely overlap when on her foot. I think that is normal for a foot like hers, so hopefully she'll reach that conclusion as well and be fully satisfied.

Purchased these shoes for my 89 year old Mom and she tells me they are comfortable and so much easier to fasten. She is quite pleased.

I have problem feet and needed a walking shoe with a strong arch support with enough room in the toe box to avoid pressure on toes. I also needed a shoe that had something other than a traditional lacing closure. This is the most comfortable, supportive walking shoe I have ever owned. I can wear them all day.

These are for my mom (age 80). She has neuropathy and has a difficult time with shoes. These are excellent for her. No problems. No breaking in period.

I have these now in 3 colors. Very comfortable - and the WW is really nice and wide. They are wider than most of their other styles so it fits my problem feet. I take out their inner soles and put in my Lynco innersoles. After 2 wearings they break in and are the best fit. The Velcro tabs are great for when you are shopping and trying on clothes. Only place I do not wear them is to my aerobics class. Sneakers with ties are best for that but unfortunately it is hard to find wide ones.

With Zappos you shop with a clear and free head. Never a worry about returns of credits or shipping as far as I know Zappos has the world's largest selection to choose from.
