Customer Reviews New Balance Mw877

The web site clearly says Assembled in USA, so I waited 6 mos. until they had my size. They came today, and they say Made in Vietnam. Last pair of New Balance anything that I ever purchase.

In dress shoes, I wear size 9 1/2 D, so I ordered the NB 877 in size 10 as suggested by the L.L. Bean website. When they arrived, the shoes seemed to fit okay and felt comfortable. But soon I noticed slight vertical creases where the fiber connects to the toe cap. The more I wore these shoes, the more the creases showed up. Finally, on the left shoe the fiber pulled away from the toe cap at one spot and I stopped wearing them. In the "fit" section of this review, I marked that they were a half size too small, but I really don't know what caused the the tear.

I could not use the shoes and had to return them. I ordered a size 14. When I got them, I found that my toes hit the end of the shoe. Either it was mismarked for the size, or they run small. I only put my foot in them and stood up. I didn't bother walking in them. I put them back in the box and sent them back. I considered ordering another pair one size larger. But I was concerned as to whether I could use my orthotics even in the larger size. Phil

Since 877 is no longer made in USA, I will no longer purchase the sneaker again.

I ordered this shoe and 7 days later received an email from NB stating they could not fill the order. Very disappointing. I ordered a different model and although the 25% discount had expired their customer service rep applied it to the second pair. That made me feel much better towards NB brand.

I normally purchase the 574 walking shoe, which also has the SL-2 last but thought these might have more cushioning in the tongue. However, I have been extremely disappointed! The toe box was far too large for my standard width foot. Unfortunately I hoped the shoes would be okay and used them for walking several times. By the time I realized that there was a sewn seam on the inside right side that eventually irritated my small right toe, I figured that I had worn them too much to return. To compensate for the excessive space in the toe box and the sewn seam, I added moleskin padding both both front sides on the inside and a foam moleskin padding on top on the inside. They are now my designated shoes for yard work. Overall, a waste of money!

This product has poor arch support. I have returned the shoes, but yet to received a credit to my account.

Returned due to poor quality, unlike New Balance, didn't like block like cut. Despite LLBean advertised sale, discovered that discount is not allowed on New Balance shoes. Bummer!

These shoes do not supply the support that I am used to in NB's less expensive walking shoe. Ankle and knees hurt almost immediately. Also, I ordered my usual NB size, but could have ordered another whole size larger. They are too small.
