Customer Reviews New Balance MW577

Have purchased two pair over past two years, for walking purposes. Fine shoe except the heel inside wears through very quickly causing a roughness and irritation of my heels. Both pairs the same. Probably not more than 500 miles walking on each pair. Poor performance. Otherwise the shoes show little wear.

USA made! One of the few left making shoes in the USA. I applaud them for that. Good quality and I will keep buying New Balance!

I've got these in white twice and I've gotten 1 to 1.5 years out of them, although the last couple months they'd be coming apart on the sides. This time I got the black and eight months later, and not with heavy use, they are already coming apart at the seams. I get the EE width because normal width shoes are to narrow. Perhaps I need to go wider, but that might sacrifice fit. I like these because they are at least assembled in the U.S.; I can't afford shoes 100% made in the U.S. I will try gluing the seams to prolong the life of the shoes but I'm disappointed they didn't last longer. However, this is my third straight pair so overall I've been happy with them.

I usually wear a 10.5, had to return these for a 11. These are really comfy shoes. I like the way they feel on my feet. My gripe is appearance. I've had them about a year and a half now and they look so bad I don't really wear them anywhere except around the house. All the white leather had turned a grubby grey color. The soles and foot bed are still in great shape. It's a shame they look so bad now. Maybe that's all you can expect for white tennis shoes but I was hoping for more.

These were wider than normal and the toe area looked like clown shoes. Very wide and round. I found another pair and the same size at a local store that didn't have the clown look. Maybe New Balance cannot make two pair look the same. Need better quality control.

I purchased this a year ago but have always been disappointed that at the bottom of my toes these shoes are very uncomfortable. They are long lasting but I have never felt comfortable in them. I would not purchase them again.

I’ve been wearing the 577s for about 9 years and just bought my 6th pair, and the toe box is not the same anymore. I have wide feet and need a 4E. I also have chronic knee pain from an old injury, in addition to arthritis in my knees which just makes it worse (and living in NYC means I walk a lot). These shoes used to provide the width that I needed, with added stability that made walking a little easier. The last pair I just bought had a toe box that was visibly narrower and slightly pointier, and when I wore them I got blisters on my big, second, and pinky toes. This has never happened before. Thank goodness I didn’t get rid of my old pair because I put the insoles from the new shoes in the old shoes and am wearing those for the time being. Whoever at New Balance made this bad decision….you may end up losing a customer of 20 years.

Zappos took these back when I noticed they squeaked when I walk. I tried a second pair - same squeaking! I am of average weight and so there's clearly an issue with at least some of these shoes. In addition, the leather is stiff and the tongue very bulky. This might add to comfort but I didn't like it.

While I've always been a big fan of New Balance, the MW577 did not work for me. The sole construction favors the heel which in my case caused some sliding of the foot forward resulting in toe pinching. I stand 8 hours a day for work and ultimately could not wear this model. I ended up purchasing the Nike Air Monarch which has great cushioning and a more traditional fit.

These shoes hurt! The 577 has a terrible shoe defect. The tongue on the shoe is way too long and curved. With each step I took, I felt pain against my ankle. The tongue was digging into my top of my ankles! Ouch. Too bad the cushioned insoles felt good and the rest of the fit was fine. It was just that terrible shoe tongue. I sent them back. I tried wider, and a bigger size thinking that would fix the tongue problem but it did not. Oh well, thank goodness for Zappos wonderful return policy.

Very uncomfortable with bleeding on my big toe after 2 walks. Zappos refunded my money for the second time in a month! I offered to return the shoes to prove I wasn't scamming them, but they said, "no need". I donated the second pair of shoes from Zappos to the local thrift shop.

What the hell happened to New Balance?? These shoes were cheaply made....and way too narrow for size 4E. I have been buying New balance tennis shoes for many years....now what?

This is the third time I’ve bought these exact shoes. I walk several miles a day and these are the best shoes I’ve ever had for walking. Will probably keep getting these shoes in perpetuity.

Left shoe hurt my ankle. Had to return

I always get New Balance tennis shoes. New Balance comes in my size.

These shoes feel and look great. They are used by me for a lot of walking, I need narrow (B width) shoes and New Balance is great for this and these fit well.

The shoe was all I could ask for, however the job I was intending on taking was not suitable and i did not take the job, I purchased the shoes as I wanted the safety features for that job.

Fits well. Comfortable. Great price. Love the variety on Zappos.

The shoe was tight, my toes reached all the way to the end and overall it was uncomfortable. I wonder if New Balance sizes no longer fit me. I have been wearing New Balance for the past 10-15 years. I am 77 years old and find it hard to believe my foot has grown in width and length..

I normally wear narrow shoes, but I had difficulty with the narrow version of this shoe so I ordered the medium width. It’s still very uncomfortable and I prefer to return it and try to get something else.

Great fit, I cant remember how many times I had repurchased this shoe. Please do not discontinue!

OUTSTANDING quality & comfort. Thick excellent leather. Great support. Give a good 4-5 days of full day wearing to break in. Impressive!
