Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

I thought I purchased men's hook and loop? In addition , the Velcro strap is thinner and not as long and when crossing feet when sitting - the Velcro on one shoe catches on the opposite shoe and holds together- aggravating!!!!

Great fit very comfortable. I wear an AFO (ankle foot orthotic) on my left foot. I am right BKA (below knee amputee). I have trouble finding shoes to fit but these work very well for me. I had "Black Tie " wedding to go to & wore them under a long black dress. They worked out perfectly. I would definitely recommend.

I'm only 5' tall and weigh 112 lbs. Family and friends were laughing and claiming I look like Minnie Mouse in these bulky shoes, and if I bought them in black I could surely get a job at Disney World. Taller and/or larger women than me probably look perfectly fine wearing these shoes, and they are awesomely comfortable!

I choose this style for everyday ware, although not the lightest since they are leather, very comfortable, i can walk all day at work with no back pain.

They are comfortable! Needs more arch support.....

Super comfortable shoe right off the bat....but the Velcro straps were too short to reach across the shoe, leaving the rough edges of exposed Velcro exposed on one side of the shoe. That section would both collect fuz, etc. and snag on the fabric of my clothing. So I did not buy them. But this seems like a simple fix. I would definitely buy them if this issue were fixed.

This is a great shoe, and we are most happy with the product! The problem was the shopping experience. The shoe showed a visual of a Velcro (hook and loop) closure. There were several color choices by clicking on a box. What I did not realize was that as I clicked a color box, some showed as a laced closure instead. In my view, the laced version and the Velcro version should have 2 separate pages. Unfortunately we had to go through the hassle of returning one when it arrived as it was not the closure we believed we had ordered.

I wear these every day when I take my two mile walks to sttrenghten the muscles in my bad knee. My doctor thinks they help.

The shoe was comfortable but the strap was to short. I have a high instep so it didn't work for me.

Great shoe, pretty comfortable. I do wish I had bought EE instead of D - it's a bit difficult to fasten the straps. Next time.

Budget is an issue but I also find this model fits me best out of all the SL2 last shoes in NB I have been able to try. It does seem to fit just a bit narrower than the 576 did. Ended up going up a half-size recently. I'd love it if this shoe came in other colors. One thing I dislike is the cushion wears out so fast. I have to replace them every 3 months or I have knee pain. If I have two pairs, wearing them every other day, I can maybe get 4 months out of one pair. The current pair I've been wearing every day for about a month and I can feel that the cushion is already compacted. If I could buy a new pair of these shoes every month I would ! Slowly trying to try out other SL2 lasts of more expensive models to see if the cushion will last longer.

Very pleased with my new walking sneakers... they are very comfortable and make my dog walking easier.

.Look great..just need to increase the size and width foe more comfort.

I'm not really liking them. Maybe I just need to break them in still, maybe to early to tell. I find them heavy & too thick around the ankle. But then again i need that for stability.

I love New Balance shoes and wear my other five pairs year round. However, the thick tongue on the 577 was too bulky and the seam on the inside of it rubbed on the top of my foot. I returned these and bought a different style instead. Easy return.
