Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

I ordered these in my usual size (11 medium) and it was like squeezing my feet in a vise. My toes were jammed against the front of the shoe. I returned them and reordered in a full size larger, and they did fit. However, the tongue is too long and it felt extremely uncomfortable jammed into the curve of my foot where it joins the leg. Another bad feature was the velcro strap across the instep. It didn't even reach halfway across, leaving a large patch of the hooked velcro exposed. I can just imagine the fuzz, threads, leaves, etc. that would get trapped in that material during normal wear. Extremely disappointing, as I've owned and loved New Balance sport shoes for years and was looking for a style with Velcro straps. I'd also add that the beige color at least looks decent, but the black color looks clunky and heavy. Even if they'd fit like a dream I would have returned the black. Unfortunately, I'm sending both back.

I normally wear a 10 WW shoe. Always purchase a 10.5 WW in athletic shoes. This 10.5 felt very short, more like a 9.5 shoe. My toe actually touched the end. It is also very narrow for a WW and felt more like a "C" width. The Velcro strap could not close the shoe. There was a gap on either side. I Love, Love, Love Zappos and I always try to buy shoes at Zappos first. Very sad the few times when I have to buy someplace else. I also buy many of my B'day gifts and some XMAS gifts and have them shipped directly from Zappos. Oh, did I already say - I Love Zappos for super, excellent customer service and tons of selection? Sorry these shoes did not work. Back to the drawing board (i.e., Zappos website)!

Bought these to go on a trip at least 1 year ago, didn't want to bother with laces plus needed a wide width for walking. When I got them they were fine, I even got a 2nd pair in black. Now that the hot weather is here, they are very uncomfortable. They don't breathe, I had to check on- line to see if they are leather, because the tag inside the shoe says only " imported material". I don't think they are really leather because even with a good wicking sock, in the heat my feet are sweating. Little arch support, which I didn't notice when I wore them in the Fall/ winter with a heavier sock. I'm not sure if I will keep them any more because by the end of the day, my feet are damp, stinky and hurting. I don't recommend them though they seemed Izk at first.

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

Big toe hitting the shoe on the side. Lower loop too short. Upper loop too long.

The shoe is true to size but very heavy and unattractive.

Loved the style of the shoe; however, the tongue came too far up on my foot. Had to return the shoes.

The sizing was fine. My problem is that I have hammer toes, so I need a high toe box. These shoes are painful for me to wear, as they do not provide enough space to accommodate my hammer toes, thereby creating painful friction. If not for that problem, I would keep them.

This is not a shoe for someone with a high arch. I could barely get the velcro to attach because there wasn't enough of it. Just small all over. It also looks like an old man's shoe!

These felt narrow. I ordered the regular width, which I normally wear, but they feel narrow. I should have listened to the reviews about the velcro straps not being long enough. I have another style of New Balance with the velcro straps and they fit fine. This is the second pair of New Balance shoes that I have had to return. I don't understand. Previously, New Balance has always been perfect...I am sending them back. I guess I am going to have to stop trying to order shoes online.

Much too large all around. Stiff and clunky feeling.

So sad to find my go to sneakers for use with an AFO have removed the D-ring and shortened the Velcro making it impossible to close. Also, if these shoes are for seniors, the button hole/velcro design does not work for old weak hands.

So sad to find that these shoes no longer accommodate my AFO orthotic. Velcro is too short. Also, removing the D-rings makes the shoes very difficult to fit properly on my "good foot."

I was dissatisfied because this the first time Zappos sent the wrong size. I order a 6 wide and received a 6 medium. I was notified that the 6 wide was in stocks, however when I tried to exchange the shoes, they were not available.

I cannot wear them because the strap was not long enough, so I returned Them
