Is the New Balance MW577 good for wide feet?

Yes. It comes in narrow, normal, wide and extra-wide widths, so most buyers can find a true fit. Order your usual width rather than sizing up.

Is the MW577 waterproof?

No. The leather upper resists light dampness but has no Gore-Tex or waterproof membrane, so it is not a rain shoe.

About 13.6 oz per shoe. That is heavier than most mesh walking shoes, which matters if you walk long distances.

Walking, standing shifts and everyday wear on pavement. It is a walking shoe, not a running shoe.

The cork and EVA insole can be replaced with your own orthotic, which is useful if the stock insole flattens.

It runs from US 2 to 15, including half sizes, in narrow, normal, wide and extra-wide widths.
