Customer Reviews New Balance MW577

I have been trying to find a replacement for New Balance canvas shoe CT520. The MW577 was my latest attempt. The shoes seem well made, and the right size, but I do not find them comfortable. The instep seems tight even unlaced, and the leather tongue digs into my ankle. After walking a while the ball of my left foot starts to ache.

Arch support OK, better than most. Comfortable shoes. They have a substantial feel with out the weight. I found left heel a little loose. Went with Dunham Lexington over these.

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.

The sneaker fit fine and I have purchased this style and brand before. However, these sneakers "creak". The first time I tried them on in the house the right sneaker creaked, but the left sneaker was fine. I figured it just had to be "broken in" a little. The next day I wore them around the house and they both creaked and my wife asked me where the noise was coming from. When I held them in my hands and twisted them they creaked. I then realized this was because of the construction and how it was made. I didn't intend to wear a sneaker that "announced" my presence ! I wish I was able to purchase the "623" style because they were the best !

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.
