- Is the New Balance 577 good for wide feet?
- Yes. It comes in wide and extra-wide widths, and owners with broad feet say the fit is roomy. Order your usual width first; the leather does not stretch much.
- How does the 577 compare with the New Balance 928?
- The 928 is a motion-control walking shoe with more cushioning and a roll bar. The 577 is simpler and firmer, with a leather upper and fewer stability features.
- Does the 577 need a break-in period?
- Yes. The leather upper starts stiff, and owners report it takes a few weeks of regular wear to soften. Wearing them for short walks first helps.
- Is it good for all-day standing?
- It works for moderate standing and walking, but the cushioning is thinner than plush walking shoes. People on their feet all day may want a softer insole.
- What is the upper made of?
- The upper is leather, and the outsole is rubber. The insole is polyurethane, which adds some support underfoot.
- Can I use it for running?
- No. The 577 is a walking shoe with a firm, flat ride. It is not built for running impact.
- Where is the New Balance 577 Walking Shoe cheapest?
- At Shop Simon, for $96.00, as of our latest check.
