Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

I ordered both the 10W & 10.5W,hoping one would fit. The width was fine in both, but the arch support did not support my arch where it was needed. The size 10, too short, width fine and the size 10.5, just poor fit for arch support.

New Balance has been a dream shoe for me up to this point. This shoe is too short and does not support my 'arch' in the right area. I'm going to exchange it for New Balance W940v3, SKU: #8769026 that fits, but hard to stand on. I hope it will break in nicely, if not, maybe barefoot.

width wise ok, but the heel was way too loose.

Excited to get my shoes so fast.They fit good which was a big surprise, because extra wide are so hard to find.They didn't even need a break-in period.I was so very pleased with my purchase.

Shoe was vinyl and cut was too high for me.

I have been buying these shoes for over 15 years. I need to wear orthotics in my shoes, and this model has been perfect -- until this year. It took a while to find the problem (I had already returned a pair, believing they'd been mismarked and really were a size smaller.). This year the tongue is made thicker and is attached in a clumsy manner, causing a large lump above my arch that makes the shoes pinch. This is a terrible design flaw. The shoes are now unwearable. I hope New Balance will go back to the former, superior design.

These are wonderful walking shoes. Loved the look.and style . . But I couldn't use because my orthotic is extra thick and the shoe was not deep enough to accommodate it ( the removable foot bed advertised was very thin-. I think some companies make 2 or more removable layers

I bought these for my elderly mother who needs a wider shoe due to her feet swelling. The adjustable velcro is great for this situation. Not stylish, but they do the job! She is happy with them. They have a nice wide toe area so there is no pressure on her toes.

I have been buying this shoe (basically) for the past few years. the Velcro straps ALWAYS rip before the shoe is worn out. the past design of the straps is even more inferior. they began to tear after a month or so. it is too much of an expensive shoe to be no good after a month. I would like to buy a new pair, but I will NOT buy the same design. it is NO good.

This is a great sneaker for someone with plantar fascia, osteoarthritis in the big toe, or bunions. It has a thick sole without a lot of give. It is designed with a wide toe for ease of movement. If you have a problem with arch support, you may want to switch out the insole (which is easy). Since the arch support is not optimal for me, I gave this sneaker a 4 star rating in comfort. I have 5 other New Balance sneakers in this line as they were recommended by my podiatrist. I have them with laces and with the velcro. The ones with the laces look a little more fashionable than the ones with Velcro. But neither will make one feel feminine or young. These sneakers have a purpose and they do that well. . For plantar fascia, osteoarthritis and bunions, they accomplish the same goal as more expensive orthopedic sneakers...easy, pain free movement.

Bought these for my 89 year old Mom. She had an old pair of New Balance (847's) and wanted a good walking shoe. Loved that these were real leather and had velcro so she could easily put on and take off. When they came in, she tried on and hated. She thought they were too stiff, and really thought the tongue was too stiff. We exchanged for the 847v2's and she is very happy. When I looked at this shoe, I didn't feel what Mom felt, but she was the one having to wear them. She does have really bad feet with bunions and hammertoes, so her issues may have been more than this shoe could "fix".

worst new balance velq does not stay in place the lip moves right and left my advise never order this item

I wrote the last review which said the shoe had excellent arch support. That is not true. I couldn't say whether the arch support was good because I couldn't get the shoe on my feet. I needed an extra wide; but their idea of extra wide was too narrow. Since I've had success with Hush Puppies and have ordered that before I will get it again.

extra wide is not wide enough

Not the most good looking shoes, but the ease of putting them on makes up for it! They are very comfortable. I am pleased.

I purchased the shoes for my mom. She called me and told me she loved them. She said, the fit great and is the best pair of shoes she has had in a long time. She is very pleased with her new shoes.

Love these shoes! Excellent fit. Great walking shoe (I walk a minimum of 5 miles a day).
