Customer Reviews New Balance WW577 Hook and Loop

Too narrow ............................had to return ......

Can't even give this item a rating because it was returned since BOTH of the shoes were defective. On right, the anchor of the bottom strap was sewn in a position that directed the strap in obliquely to the other side. On Left, the tongue was longer than on the right by at least 1/2 inch an looked ridiculous. Most disappointing purchase from New Balance ever.

I have had my pair of New Balance for 8 years and they are the reason that I can keep my balance and walk by myself. So when I needed to buy a new pair of course I turned to New Balance again. However, they have been redesigned; the strap closest to my foot is higher up on the shoe then my original pair and when I walk it cuts into my foot and I have had to wear it so loose that its not safe for me to walk and also the tops of the shoes are higher and the back has this V cut out and the higher top and V cut out cut into my ankle and foot. I have not returned them because the receipt with the shipping return label was accidentally thrown away and so I felt that I was helpless to to anything about my purchase. I hope that you can do something to help me get a pair like my old ones or to compensate my loss by return.

my left foot show was tighter then right foot shoe

I bought the 577 shoe and it is very uncomfortable. I bought New Balance for several years because of the different widths. I need a narrow shoe and not many companies do narrow shoes. A couple of years ago I noticed New Balance wasn't the same shoe I was used to. It was little shorter and the seams rubbed blisters on my feet. I decided to try another brand of shoe. Those shoes were great but now that company doesn't not make narrow shoes anymore, so I'm back to New Balance and I hate them. This is the last pair I will purchase. I used to think New Balance was the only shoe there was but no more. New Balance is like all the other companies comfort and quality doesn't matter anymore.

This was the first time I had used a "hook and loop" They were too tight and would not hold...

The straps are so short that you cannot close the Velcro if you have Sox on. I returned them

The top hook & loop strap is too high up. The whole strap and connectors need to be lowered slightly as does the tongue.

I medically need a good walking shoe with velcro closing. I have bought NB shoes before from the store and been very satisfied. However, this pair I ordered on line were not up to the quality. The velcro on both shoes was cut short and actually buckled on the one side. I have returned the shoes, but it will take a long time for refund because of the virus pandemic. I am very unhappy with this experience!

I cut an inch off the tongue because it was so long that it dug into my legs. My legs hurt for 2 days after I wore them for a day. It's not worth buying any shoe that you have to alter so much to be comfortable.

This was not a comfortable shoe by any means, The shoe is extremely hard and there is absolutely no cushion. I went back to my old shoes for my walking and won't be using these unless I go buy soft insoles. Very disappointing.

I bought this shoe to walk in mainly and it arrived in "out of shape" condition--like something very heavy was laying on it for a month. When I put it on, my toes hit the end so it was short. It has a "clunky" look and I didn't find it appealing. It wasn't cushioned as much as I would have liked and the straps didn't close right for some reason--maybe because of the thick tongue. I'm sorry, I just don't like writing negative reviews but felt I had to.

I wore the sneakers once and my feet still hurt. I am planning to return them and will probably buy elsewhere.

I returned this and another pair on 5/1. I ended buying from the local store on Cranston at curbside but they would t accept returns

These are very uncomfortable sneakers. The sole is extremely hard and painful to stand or walk on for long periods. I'm 46 and in normal health and after wearing these all day at work, my feet and legs ached. The soles of my feet felt bruised and numb. I soaked in Epson salt bath and took ibuprofen to deal with the pain, it was that bad. The size fit, they were just terribly hard and uncomfortable. I've never had this bad of an experience with any shoe.

I returned these sneakers immediately. The "tongue"is very rigid and rubbed against my foot-a blister waiting to happen. I expected better construction from New Balance.

A terrible replacement for the 813!!!!!!!! The hook & loop are awful!

Brick hard, absolutely no give. I'm not sure they are even leather. Toe box is not roomy, either.

I returned this shoe because the fit wasn't comfortable on my feet. It was too stiff and both the tongue and heel came up too high and rubbed.

This is a walking shoe, however, it is the first pair of shoes in 15 years that I have ever been dissatisfied with from New Balance! Very uncomfortable! I
