Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

I gave these pups my patented "puddle test"... they got soaked. Would not recommend in puddles no matter how deep

I've been wearing New Balance SL-2 last shoes for 40 years at this location and this was my first (2 pairs of) 577's. Sometimes I feel like I'm wearing ice skates because the soles , after only 6 months, have become positively dangerous. They slip on the wet rock walks and steps and Blue Stone paths around my property. This is very disappointing for my favorite walking shoe manufacturer. What happened?

Shoe had a thick seam where the tonge was sewed to the shoe. Extreemly unconfortable. SENT THEM BACK.

I am a long-time NB customer. These shoes, unfortunately, fall short of the usual NB high quality. They have a flimsy construction, provided poor support, dug into my feet, and the loops are very short. I sent them back for a refund. Definitely do NOT recommend.

Usually every New Balance shoe I have ever purchased has been spot on. This time slightly narrow. I should have purchased wide.

Previous purchased hook and loop ran large and it was no longer offered, so decided on this version and purchased 1/2 size smaller and 1 size narrower, big mistake. This shoe runs smaller in length and width. If you normally wear a size 11 4E, you better order a 1/2 size larger and if possible one size wider. It also rides high on your instep and heal causing discomfort. Hopefully it will break-in soon and be more comfortable.

This product (577 Black hook & loop shoes) are nowhere as good as previous shoes I have purchased from your company. First they are cheaply made, second your size and width do not meet previous sizes, the toe of the shoe is quite a bit narrower than previous shoes. I have been wearing New Balance shoes for more than 20 years. I am not sue if I will purchase again.

I bought these shoes in white for my husband. They fit well and are comfortable. The only complaint is that they are noisy when he walks. It sounds like parts of the shoes are rubbing against other parts. Squish, squish, squash. It is annoying after awhile. I had hoped the noise would go away after they had been worn for a while but no success.

Have purchased this item many times for my son, always good quality. This last pair is very cheaply made. Tongue on shoe is stitched with only a few stitches. Makes the tongue very unstable. I would much rather pay a little more money for better quality. Won't purchase again. This product is a real step down from the original.

I waited to write this review until I had worn the item for several months. My conclusion is that if you like going to the Chiropadist then this shoe is for you. The item fits properly until you walk in rain then the shoes shrink. When they dry out wearing them returns them to normal size. The soles do not maintain their original cushion feel and become thin. The result is the development of uncomfortable calluses on the bottom of your foot. The end result is discomfort and the search for a different product.

I ordered these a half size larger as suggested and they are still small. My left big toe touches the end. Maybe with wearing, they'll stretch a bit.

These shoes felt tight and made noise as I walk. I wear the White 577 lace version and they are fine.
