Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

One day, as we become "older" and arthritic, and cannot "bend" any longer; these shoes may just be the ticket. In all honesty, I got these for my father-in-law a few years back. He is in a care facility. I just got a second pair (for his brother) who is even older and headed to a similar situation. They both need these shoes, and they work.

Bought these to replace old pair, have been wearing this style shoe for over 10 years, always reliable in fit and performance.

I wear these shoes for work where I walk a lot. They are comfortable but just a little tight in the width department.

Perfect fit but looked plastic. Need real leather not man made materials. Returned for credit.

Dad walks with the aid of a came inside and a walker outside These are the perfect pair of walking shoes for him The Velcro loops allow for easy on and easy off. The.shoe is well made and provides support without looking bulky I'm so very happy these walking shoes for him great and we can continue to enjoy our walks

I tried a different NB shoe and they just didn't work for me. These are the only ones that really fit me and feel as they should. I will always wear these 577's.

nowhere as comfortable as they have been in past years. I am 81 yrs old and have worn New Balance for many years.

I have used this NB shoe prior, two previous pair, and never had the problem I experienced. I have inserts I need to use dew to toe amputations and need a shoe with a removable insole. The recent pair of shoes did not have enough height at point of the arch in my foot so I could close the shoe with the straps without cutting into the top of my foot. I experienced this with the 9 1/2 and 10 ee sizes I tried. I noticed a lessening of the quality of the straps. The way the tongue was shorter than in previous shoes which caused the seam to be higher on my arch than previous shoes.

These have long been my favorite shoes--not only because they fit my super-wide duck feet, but because the Velcro closure requires far less strain on my ancient back then laces. They are very comfortable right out of the box and last pretty well. Similar shoes may be available somewhere else, but I like the convenience of ordering from LL Bean and knowing that I will get exactly what I ordered.
