Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

The shoe felt tight when first put on. The upper strap only went about a third of the way over, just barely connecting to other side. After about 3 weeks, the shoe fit less tight and the upper strap is now about 3/4's the way across. It is not ideal, but it does the job. I have been wearing these in place of slippers inside, but also go outside without a problem. Easy to wipe off. I removed the insole that came with shoes, and replaced with my Protech insoles that I use in all my shoes, giving me the proper arch support. The insole that came with these shoes had only moderate arch support.

I bought these for my Dad who is 95 years young! Unfortunately, even with Wide, I could not get the Velcro to reach the other side and stay. I had to return them and try extra wide. Still waiting for those to arrive.

I recently replaced my New Balance Model 813 Men's loop and hook walking shoes. I could only find Model 577 (a similar style) on the Zappos web site. An old problem has resurfaced with the New Balance Model 577 Men's loop and hook walking shoe. The upper hook and loop strap on the Model 577 shoe is much too short. The upper strap does not even begin to reach the hook material on far end of the the loop. I do wear orthotic shoe inserts and this exacerbates the problem. LPT: I purchased some Velcro brand One-Wrap Roll. The One-Wrap roll is available in 12 ft x 3/4 inch width. One-Wrap is available in white, black and other colors. I had to add ~4 inches of the One-Wrap roll to each shoe. So after 12 years I am back to having to hack my shoes. Thanks NB.

shoe was fine in most every aspect except the hook and loop straps were not long enough to attach with confidence Since I'm over 90 this is important for my safety. Consequently, the shoes were never walked in. They are returned as originally received.

Shoe fits very well. The only thing is the color is not a true white. It has a grayish tint to it.

inside height room is to small. I cannot ware. The shoe is good looking and appears of good quility.

Who is everything I wanted, except for the constant squeaking with every step.

I like the roomy fit in the toe. The support is great. Walking in them is comfortable. When I compare this NB 577 to my old favorite NB 813 (not made anymore) I find that I stand taller in the 577. I guess the sole is thicker. The tongue of the 577 is very thick, and it is a bit of a tug to fasten the hook & loop straps so that the shoe is on tightly. I find the straps to be a little short.
