Customer Reviews New Balance MW577

I've owned nothing but NB athletic shoes for at least ten years. However, recently I have had a lot of trouble getting any NB to fit and these are no exception. 11 1/2 suddenly is too short and tight, 12 still tight. Wide size ridiculously wide and the look of the wide shoe draws laughs from my walking friends. Oh I long for the old days when I'd buy two pair of 621s at a time. They fit like a glove and wore like iron. Gave up on 623s. This 577 is not nearly as nice, still fits poorly and now sits in the gym bag. Worn but unworn. Sorry.

I bought this for my husband. It fits fine, but they squeak to the point of annoying. They are a very basic shoe in all white. Actually think they look a little old for my husband and he's in his upper 50's. If you want a basic walker I'd say this is fine.

I measure 9 wide, double or triple E, and I ordered this shoe in 9 EE as I have other similar NB walking shoes that ran small. The shoe seemed to be the right length but were too narrow up near the toes. They appeared to be well constructed, but I could do without the BIG "N" on the sides.

I couldn’t get my foot in the shoes even with a shoehorn.

I couldn’t get either of my feet in the shoes, even with a shoehorn

This is the strangest fitting shoe I think I've ever put on my foot. Overall, it felt much smaller than the size indicated, especially the width. I could barely get them on, and although the length seemed okay with respect to where my toes were in the shoe, my foot felt completely constricted across the top. The back of the show was very loose and kept slipping down my heel as I tried to walk, and the arch support was almost non-existent. I'm returning them because there's no way I can wear them, even after a "break-in" period.

VERY STIFF construction and "pinched" at ball of foot so did not fit.

These are advertised as leather. They're NOT leather.

I've been a New Balance customer for ages, as it's almost impossible to find a B width in other brands. I've worn the 813's for years and the 811's (I think) for years before that. I always loved the fit and the shoes. But things change and NB no longer makes these. I've been searching for a replacement and even resorted to eBay to find old 813's. But that time has gone by. These looked great in the pictures and I was excited. But upon receiving them and putting them on, they felt stiff and the tops cut into my ankles painfully. I wore them around inside for a few days hoping they'd loosen up to no avail. It's worth noting that in the past I loved the 813's because they immediately felt comfortable, with no break in period. They're going back. It seems that this shoe design comes up higher and tighter around the ankles than the 813's did and that's a problem for me. I would love to know if NB designed a new shoe to take the place of the old 813's.

I've worn New Balalance shoes for more than 40 years in size 10 D. This 'walking' shoe was EXTREMELY SNUG. Cannot wear!

Felt EXTREMELY snug. Been wearing New Balance 10 D for 40 plus years. Can't wear these!

I've worn 14 4E for my entire life but recently something has changed with some 14 4E shoes I order. I can order Rebok 14 4E (Quad) and they fit every single time. This includes a pair I just ordered last year. I decided to give New Balance a try to mix it up and there is no way these are 14 4E. I could barely get my left foot in the actual shoe and it was very tight and uncomfortable to the point I didn't even need to stand or anything. There was just no way my foot was going in there properly. The length was spot on but the width was not valid. Maybe I have to try 5E and size down as needed? I did like the basic, plain all white look of the sneakers though as that style will go with anything you wear.

These shoes CREAK. Very loudly. Not acceptable.
