Customer Reviews New Balance MW577

Very comfortable. I would not recommend these shoes for someone with a high instep because the straps do not fasten well for someone like me who has a high instep.

I'd previously purchased the black version of these shoes, and think they're pretty great. But, for walking in the summer, I thought the black might be too hot... so I purchased these white ones. Man, are these things bright white. There's absolutely nothing design-wise to break up the whiteness of these shoes. I tried them on in my house, and as expected found them very comfortable... but I just couldn't get past the color, even inside. So the shoes went back to LL Bean, and I replaced them with the New Balance 608v4. If the color doesn't bother you, these shoes are great. If you can handle a glaringly white shoe, I highly recommend these. I love the fit and comfort, I love the hook-and-loop closures - I just can't handle the color.

These sneakers are comfortable right out of the box. The Velcro straps are secure and make these sneakers very easy to put on and take off. This feature is very useful when you go through the check in line at the airport. I highly recommend these sneakers for the quality, convenience and comfort.

I have 2 EE and 2 EEEE 577 NB pairs of shoes, and the strap hook length on the EEs reaches the loop section fine. On the EEEEs the hooks barely reach the loops. The measured lengths of the strap, the hook and the loop areas are the same. Apparently there is something about the wider EEEE shoe making the distance needed for full hook to loop attaching inadequate. The something must be the EEEE is just wider at the top. The EEEE needs a longer strap to hook on better.

These shoes are quite comfortable. I have my own orthotic inserts, AND I wear thick socks, so I got wide shoes (mail-order). Alas, the upper hook-and-loop strap just barely connects with itself when closing. Could be accounted for in manufacture of wide models. BUT, they are comfortable and made right here in Maine. I'm hoping the leather will stretch and they'll adjust a bit, so I don't have to pull 'em so tight.

Then straps seem to be a slight bit short on these walking shoes. I noticed it on the llast pair that we pourchased.

Shoes are very comfortable and easy to get on and off, I wear them winter and summer. I have purchased a pair or two every year for the last four years.However they are advertised to be waterproof. If I walk across the yard with a dew on, my socks get wet. I wish they were waterproof, especially in the winter, but I will continue to buy them. They are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Husband said they are fine, fit good and are reasonably comfortable. That's not bad considering that his feet hurt all the time! He also said that nothing is "excellent." So that's why the "good" rating.

My third pair over a longish period and all have been comfortable and last a reasonably long time,. They are used regularly.

I purchased these shoes for my grandson. He needs wide widths and often has difficulty finding shoes that fit- These fit him perfectly right out of the box and he's been wearing them daily every since receiving them.

The fit was very good. The comfort is great however, the velcro straps are an inch or so too short for a slightly higher in-step. Overall, I am pleased and will need to shrink my foot just a tad to be more comfortable. (Just kidding) I would buy them again.

I like these shoes because they are very light and comfortable on my feet
