This is my probably my 10th+ pair of New Balance Sneakers. The 577 is a great sneaker for walking or just wearing everyday. I have a pair in velcro & tie. I really like the ease of the velcro to slip on & off easy. Fit is good. I'm hard on shoes & these hold up well to wear.

2 pairs of shoes that I ordered came promptly. So far they have been the best I have had so far. The soles are thicker that box store shoes and way more comfortable. I will buy all my shoes there from now on.

Very good quality from viewing.

These shoes are so much better than I'd hoped for that I'm almost afraid to let on to y'all just HOW much more wonderful they are than all them others. Only real problem here is if you're into BRAND NAME BLING BLONG. In which case why are you looking at this off-brand in the first place? New Balance hasn't paid anybody $4 million to endorse their shoes. Go get a pair of Jordans. If you're just looking for a GREAT shoe - these last me over a year and I wear them 16/7. That comes to $0.18 per day, which I can afford. And have. And will. And I'm asking to be buried in a new pair so they'll last forever. Unless some loose Angel decides to take 'em when I'm not looking. Now: Far More Important: These Fantastic Folks at Zappos go so much further in Customer Service I can't say enough - and I'm an Author. Let it Suffice to say they walk on water, and I don't mean spilling some on the floor, slopping across, then going back to Stomp Out Loose Puddles. Nope: Real People Real Nice Real Time. Count me as a Perpetual Customer. Um, footnote (get it? haha): I have WIDE toes and these will do after some stretching, but if you put 'em on at first and they're tight, send 'em back for next size up. Nuff said.

I got actually got these for my husband, and he loves them. He reorders these a lot because he wears them at work and for play. He has told me many time they are comfortable and fit perfectly.

I have 2 EE and 2 EEEE 577 NB pairs of shoes, and the strap hook length on the EEs reaches the loop section fine. On the EEEEs the hooks barely reach the loops. The measured lengths of the strap, the hook and the loop areas are the same. Apparently there is something about the wider EEEE shoe making the distance needed for full hook to loop attaching inadequate. The something must be the EEEE is just wider at the top. The EEEE needs a longer strap to hook on better.

I love these shoes. I finally had to fess up and realize that my arthritis in my back was getting so bad that I could not bend and tie anymore. The velcro straps were god sent. These shoes work great for easiness of install, comfort of walking and upbeat appearance. What makes them even more spectacular is the hassle free service Zappos' provides. Shoes are shipped free and the returns are free. I exchanged the first pair for a different size in what is known as "break-neck" speed. I will have serious doubts about buying shoes anyplace other than Zappos.

Great looking walking shoes and came in a wide width as mine is wider than EE. Hook and loop closure is easy to use as I have an arthritic hip and conventional laces are hard to tie. Stylish look and light weight too.

These shoes are quite comfortable. I have my own orthotic inserts, AND I wear thick socks, so I got wide shoes (mail-order). Alas, the upper hook-and-loop strap just barely connects with itself when closing. Could be accounted for in manufacture of wide models. BUT, they are comfortable and made right here in Maine. I'm hoping the leather will stretch and they'll adjust a bit, so I don't have to pull 'em so tight.

I recently ordered a pair of the MW557 11.5 4E Hook & Loop in black. I own a pair of these shoes in white in a laced version and found them to be a very comfortable walking shoe. I walk about 5 miles per day. I was very disappointed in the length of the straps on the MW557 I ordered and returned them immediately. I have a wide foot thus the 4E width, but I do not have a high instep and yet the hook & loop straps were not of adequate length. The folks at Zappo's handled this situation wonderfully and had a pair of replacement New Balance Dunham Winslow shoes at my house in 3 days.

Shoes were fine. I found Zappos an excellent company to deal with online. You like the shoes - good price. You don't like the shoes - send them back. No hassle. Further, they ship fast!

I walk my dog four times a day, so I put a lot of miles on my shoes. I demand comfortable footwear, and these walking shoes have passed the test. I got them in extra wide. They are roomy and have a soft enough rubber sole that gives on concrete. I found that other major brands have harder soles and heels which are not as comfortable. One more thing--hook and loop shoes do NOT come undone, as laces do. I find that a big advantage when walking a frisky dog!

The shoes fit very well and are comfortable. The velcro straps hold tight but I can see where the velcro is separating from the leather. This is after two weeks of wear. I will probably have to glue it.

I believe that this is the 5th consecutive pair of this shoe. Fit is always the same and makes a comfortable everyday shoe.

I wear a 10N and the men's 9D is perfect. I've found the men's 9 is a better fit than the women's larger, narrow size. These look nice and feel very comfy.

Shoes are very comfortable and easy to get on and off, I wear them winter and summer. I have purchased a pair or two every year for the last four years.However they are advertised to be waterproof. If I walk across the yard with a dew on, my socks get wet. I wish they were waterproof, especially in the winter, but I will continue to buy them. They are the most comfortable shoes I own.

I work on my feet all day and this is the most comfortable shoe for the money. Also being a diabetic I have to be careful of how tight my shoes can be, the hook and loop closures of these shoes allow me to keep them loose but they don't slip around on my feet. I had my first pair for two years and wore them out as the got wet, sprayed with harsh cleaners and held up well. I would highly recommend these shoes to any one. And LL Bean's service is number one in my book.

Husband said they are fine, fit good and are reasonably comfortable. That's not bad considering that his feet hurt all the time! He also said that nothing is "excellent." So that's why the "good" rating.

My husband is a big fan of New Balance sneakers. Lately he has had trouble tying his shoes (EARLY onset Alzheimer's) and when I saw the Velcro New Balance sneakers I knew the problem was solved! The fit is perfect and my husband can put them on and take them off without a struggle. Thank you!
