Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop 577

I bought these shoes for my son, he says they are comfortable and is enjoying them.

I'm sure this shoe is good for anyone, but it specifically meets the needs of a family member who wears a foot brace. In 4E it is wide enough and flexible enough to fit the brace inside once the insole is removed. The non-marking sole is great too. The identical shoe provided by a medical facility had a marking sole, so our home was covered with black rubber. Not so with these shoes! While LLBean is not the only provider, they were the only place with these shoes in stock when we needed them.

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.

My wife ordered a pair for me in a size 11 EEEE. A perfect fit and a really great pair of shoes to walk in. Very comfortable to the feel and for being on your feet all day. Finding EEEE shoes is not an easy task any more. I will be back to shop at LL Bean.

The Velcro straps are too short. Part of the hook is left exposed and catches on the bottoms of slacks, damaging the material. Two more expensive New Balance models do not have this problem.

I have been wearing a EE in this style for years. I ordered an EE but it was definitely too narrow...I have returned them to be replaced with EEEE and I trust they will be fine.

My second pair, black & white, most comfortable shoe I have had.

This is the fourth pair of these walking shoes. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for complete comfort and durability.

I am a diabetic with normally wide 10 3E feet. Diabetics must worry about blood circulation in their feet, and the danger is a cut or abrasion from say a blister that could take forever to heal. The wide 4EEEE width is ideal, and the added Velcrow is perfect because if you tie laces loosely they always come undone, but a velcrow closure can be whatever you make and it always stays that tight or loose, without coming undone. These New Balance Sneakers look great, fit flawlessly and are the safest for people like myself. Use 100% wool socks and not cotton because cotton causes abrasion, wool never does.

I bought these for my husband. He absolutely loves the ease of putting these on because of the velcro straps! No laces to tie! Plus they always look neat!

I walk about 10 miles a week at a brisk pace. I live in the mtns with paved and unpaved roads so these conditions will give the shoes a good test. The review: The cushion on the heal is adequate but were the ball of the foot strikes is not. This is why I gave it a three star. I am going to keep them for every day use. LLBean was right on when it said to order the next half size up. This is my first time with velcro-closure and I like this feature. They are so easy to get off and on.
