Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

Runs narrow

This is probably the seventh or eighth pair of these shoes that I have purchased: I have them in black, white, and tan. I wear one or the other of them practically every day of the year (white and tan only in summer for those of you who hold to 'no white' before Memorial Day and after Labor Day!) as I am allowed to wear jeans and a t-shirt to work every day. Please note that I live in Europe and I walk a fair amount as I don't have a car and use public transportation to get everywhere. My only gripe is that I can't get Zappo's to ship internationally. So, every time I come back to the States, I buy two or three pairs to bring home. I typically go through one or two pairs each year despite the fact that I wear them every day--it is only when the interior starts to go that I toss them and pull out the another pair from my stash! The outside always looks good, regardless of my lack of shoe care...I have never done anything to care for them and they wear like iron!

Good toe room but the highest-up velcro strap and the tongue didn't fit right. Strap:too short. Tongue: too thick and unflexible, so the strap wouldn't go over it well.

These shoes were purchased for a mentally challenged woman. She has an uneven gait which causes callouses and other foot problems. She also needs velcro closures. In spite of her foot problems she loves to walk. With these shoes she has very few complaints about foot pain. This shoe is perfect for her. I would recommend it to others.

These shoes look like they're soft and cushy in the picture, but they're not. They're unyielding and plasticky. But the main problem for me? My foot steps right out in the back, rubs on my heel.

Shoe width runs small.

the velcro strap is too short. it only reach on the middle and I don't have big feet so I'll return this. too bad, I like it.

I read the reviews on this style before ordering but decided to take a chance ordering it anyway. The reviews are correct. The shoes look huge like orthopedic shoes when on your feet even though the size is correct. If the style was streamlined somewhat, they would be great shoes.

Bought these shoes for my 84 year old mother who is looking for velcro closures. The left shoe slipped on the heel. Shoe appearance is very manly and ugly for a woman. It was wide in the toe.

The tongue is way too large where it is attached to the shoe and the extra material bunches on top of the foot right in front of the toes. It has rubbed my foot enough that a sore has formed. I'll be taking the shoes to our local shoe repair shop to see if they can do something to cut down the excess material.

Bought this pair of shoes for my 100 year old mother. She loves them and she gets around great in her wheel chair in the nursing home. They fit perfect and the hook and loop is great since she can no longer tie her shoes.

I have been wearing these types of shoes for a long time. They are very comfortable. I bought many over the years and I am particularly please to buy them from Zappos because they are less expensive, my size is always available and they are delivered at my door.

As always the shoes are perfect. I have to wear an orthotic and my feet are narrow so finding a pair of shoes that is an answer to both problems is wonderful. I don't have to buy two pairs of shoes. Deep heels, true to size and reasonably priced (especially when Zappos has a sale). Zappos is really easy to shop with particularly if you know your size in particular brands and wear an unusual size like a narrow or a slender and you can send them back at no cost. Have been shopping with Zappos for years.

My young 75 year old wife suffered a stroke last year and now requires a medical device insert that requires a very wide shoe that we were unable to find until my sister in law, Susie Ledieu, introduced me to your Web site. A big Hurrah for Zappos.com. You will be receiving more orders in the very near future.

I have been buying NB WW577 lace ups for three years. I have foot and knee problems and these have the best support ever. There is no need to break them in, just put them on and you are ready to go. Recently, I have gotten arthritis in my right hand which makes laces difficult. I tried the WW577 Hook and Loop and can not tell you how happy I am with them. I have also purchased a pair for my mother of 82 with Parkinsons and she is so happy with themas well. Please don't stop making them!

I'm an 80 year old male with narrow (AA) feet. I have a hard time finding men's shoes narrow enough for me. Frankly, I don't see much difference in appearance between men's and women's shoes. These fit great and with the velcro fasteners are much easier than laces to close. Only complaint with these shoes is that they seem to be warm. Haven't had them long enough to check the wear.

This style New Balance with the Velcro closure fits just as well as the 577 with laces. As I've gotten older my fingers have a difficult time with laces. These work and feel great!
