Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

Normally, I've heard, New Balance shoes tend to run a little big. Not the 577's. I had to return the first pair (easy) and order a half size larger. Found the new shoes to be a comfortable, very supportive walking shoe, and so much easier than lace-up models to put on and take off! This is my first velcro shoe, and definitely won't be my last!

Because of medical issues I needed a shoe that didn't need to be tied. Because of shoe inserts the Velcro straps are a little short but they still work.

The Velcro was not long enough. The strap was long enough but I had to buy more Velcro and glue a strip next to the other for the strip to work. Way too short. Was not enough of the part that is rough and the soft part sticks too. PLUS the tongue hurt my feet at the part near the toes inside the shoes. It is stitched into the shoe for about a half an inch. On each side of the stich is about a third of an inch of leftover tongue. I actually had to get scissors and cut off the excess tongue on both sides of the sewn part. I am a big guy so this is the 1st time I bought a Velcro New Balance and it will be the last. I am strictly a New Balance person. Been wearing them for over 40 years. Figure since I am 59 big and disabled the Velcro would be nice. I WAS WRONG.

My husband broke his ankle in 3 places. Lots of swelling and hasn't walked in 3 months. Order his New Balance shoes and perfect fit. Finally up walking now after 3 months walking

Can't get my shoes to quit squeaking after several try's with powders and conditioning. Also tabs are really short ti fit across top of footwear. I'm not happy at all. Thank you

I purchased these walking shoes for my 75 year old father who is unable to bend over to tie his shoes. He loves them because he can just slide his feet into them! Great quality too!

Great shoe. Just what I always get. Real comfortable. wears well.

Wouldn't order any other sneaker! I do wish there was an option for a high instep.

As a senior, I do walking for exercise and find this a good fit. The arch support with the solid heel helps make the walking easier.

I buy this model repeatedly as it has the perfect fit for me. In addition the Velcro straps make it easy for arthritic hands to seal the shoe.

Not sure what the shoe (not the sole) was made of but looked and felt like plastic. Believe it would have felt very hot when wearing. Returned without even trying on.

As a person with Psorsica arthritis in my feet, i have to wear shoes that support them. If I could make one option is for them to come in blue and make the top strap a little longer. I am on Medicare and I saw on the web site that I can get help with them. It takes me months to save to get them and any help would be a plus for me.

Online order did not work out for me; however, the in store purchase worked very well. Mostly due to sizing. Lesson learned feet change and proper fitting gives great results.

These shoes saved my husbands toes and feet. When you have neuropathy and can't tie your laces these shoes are a God send! They are comfortable from first wear. They are easy to put on and take off. Highly recommend. We purchased 10W. True to size. Arrived within a few days by UPS.

I drive truck and it's too hard for me to tie laces.

No balance anymore between price and quality! The more I spend on high priced running shoes, the faster they deteriorate because of cheap inferior materials. This kind of failure to provide durable service is DESIGNED IN by New Balance. It's long past time to find a new brand.

VELCRO LACES ARE TOO SHORT; UINBELIEVABLE! If you have wide feet and thats why you order 4E; the laces are too short

I have a very wide foot narrow heel and high arch, the 9 4W ran tight in the toe box. Ordering was easy, shipping was fast and NB's return program is quick and simple. I wish finding shoes for my "duck" feet was as easy. I have had success over the years with NB.

Can't check the stars. Don't know which end is great vs bad. However the shoes are exactly what I ordered and wanted.

just extra picky recipient :( They said they fit perfectly but were too hard as in solid to walk

Perfect fit, hook & loop easy to secure, and shoes arrived quickly from time of order to delivery to my residence. Overall I'm very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend these shoes for daily walks.
