Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

The fit was perfect & they are very comfortable. They are squeaking & groaning though while the shoes get used to my weird feet. I do wish New Balance would have a bit more aggressive tread for these sneakers.

The fit and the size were accurate. Great shoes! Style makes for a wee bit larger shoe overall which I didn't expect but they work just fine. Love that they are light in weight.

I have had problems with my feet swelling. This style works well because it is easy to put the shoes on (don't need to fuss with laces) and feels secure.

The fit is what it should be. It looks like a nice sneaker for work. My foot feels secure in the shoe with a stable stance. They are not " styling " but velcro kind of automatically rules that out. They are for work in a warehouse. I've worn them once and my feet were comfortable all day. They are good shoes worth getting. The only thing that should be changed in this shoe is to make the straps longer by about and inch. When fastened correctly the rough side of the vecro is left exposed. This is not a deal breaker but if this would bother you a different style of shoe should be selected.

Am returning shoes because the loop tab of the hook-and-loop closure is entirely too short, making it impossible to wear with any kind of insert.

As mentioned by others, the straps are too short and leave exposed Velcro that can snag on clothing. I can imagine the exposed Velcro would pick up lint and dirt. I’m returning these.

I returned these. Where the tongue was attached the seam was rough and large, rubbing on the large toe joint. It also seemed narrow in that area, and promised to aggravate my foot issues. I have to say New Balance shoes look and feel cheaply made anymore. I have better looking and fitting shoes purchased for 25 dollars at my local big box store. While the SL-2 last attracts me to New Balance, the relatively high cost for low quality puts me off. New Balance shoes don't last more than 9 months before they feel worn out and unsupportive. Hope New Balance gets the message.

I need, and thus I ordered 10.5 EEEE. They sent me 10.5 wide (E?). This was the third pair in a row I ordered from New Balance, 2 from Amazon and this one from Zappos. All were the same, wide instead of extra wide. Apparently New Balance doesn't really have EEEE even though they advertise it. So they are simply sending E and hoping the aren't returned or something.

TOngue on the one shoe was defectively stitched pushing the base of the tongue into the foot. They had to be returned. Thus type of manufacturing defect should have been caught in quality checking.

The straps are much too short. A 4E width shoe should have long straps, but the straps were so short that the loop part of the strap could not reach the hook part, so it would never close. I could not walk in them.

Felt full size larger than expected.

This particular style has been our go-to shoe for my husband ever since his stroke, nearly ten years ago now. The hook and loop closure system he can manage independently - a huge plus. This shoe also is in a conventional man's dress style while still having the support and protection needed for diabetic feet.

These are my husband’s favorite shoes - he has them in both black and white. They fit great, offer good support and are easy to get on and off.

I bought these for my 95-year old Dad who has some swelling in his legs and feet, especially during the summer. I tried Wide the first time and could not get the velcro to reach and hold the shoes on, so I returned them and ordered "Extra-Wide". Well, I was barely able to get these to work on his feet! I expected them to be a bit wider, or the velcro to be a bit longer. I am hoping that they will stretch a bit over time. There is nothing wider that I can order. My Dad had these shoes before and loved them, so he was very adamite that I order the exact same ones!
