Overview
New Balance builds the 577 V1 as an all-leather walking shoe with a hook and loop strap in place of laces. Abzorb cushioning and a rubber outsole are aimed at easing foot fatigue for walkers and workers.
Strap fastening makes it quick to put on, and the cushioning is listed at the top level for a walking shoe. Neutral pronation and a medium arch define the fit, so those needing correction should look elsewhere. Width options and sizing notes are missing.
Who it's for
People on their feet all day who want easy strap closure and a cushioned sole. Those who need arch correction, a lace-up fit or water resistance should choose a different shoe.
Pros and cons
- Quick hook and loop closure
- Neutral pronation, medium arch
- Not water resistant
- No lace option
- Width options not listed
- Spec table lists conflicting insole materials
Performance notes
The listing names Abzorb and polyurethane cushioning in the insole and places the shoe at its highest cushioning level, which softens impact on hard ground. The strap lets the wearer adjust the fit without laces. Leather and rubber wear well but are not described as water resistant.
