 Hate the MW576 but Loved the MW575 Nov 05, 2008
By JD
I've had several pairs of MW575 and MW574 in size 10EE. I always was able to just put them on and in about 2 hours they were broken in and felt great for months. I purchased 2 pairs of MW576 thinking they'd be the same, but they were very uncomfortable, even after 2 weeks. The bump in the middle of the forefoot was so large that it annoyed me with every step. Even though this shoe looked to be the same length, I was crowded in the toe box. I even tried new insoles but they were even more uncomfortable.
I called New Balance to find out what was going on and they informed me that the MW575 was made on the AL-1 last, but the MW576 changed over to the SL-2 last (making it a completey different fitting shoe). New Balance was very responsive and allowed me to return the 2 pairs directly to them. They sent me a pair of MW926 in black and a pair of MK706. The MW926 was OK for a while (even more stable in the heel), but still not as comfortable as the MW575, and after about 4 months have become very uncomfortable. The MK706 was both too short and wide in the midfoot and heel so I couldn't stand them for more than an hour. New Balance has suggested I try the mw845 so I've ordered a pair of those to try. I've also tried on a variety of NB and other brands at local stores, but haven't found anything that fit like the MW575.
I've come to rely upon my New Balance shoes for consistent fit and to get me through the day, but this new model was an extreme disappointment. I don't understand why NB took a great product and ruined it for me. I have to give NB kudos for making a wide range of sizes and for good customer service. My complaint is that NB gave me something great then took it away. This is a cardinal sin of customer service.
The bottom line is if you liked the MW575 don't count on the MW576 as a replacement.

 Love these shoes! Jun 18, 2008
By Reagan Cardwell
I'd buy another pair in a heartbeat. They're comfortable and relatively durable. I've worn out several pair (earlier models, though) over the last eight years. I'll continue buying them, as long as New Balance keeps making them.

 May or may not be the shoe for you Dec 03, 2010
By RV Lady
I ordered these shoes for my husband. They were the same style, but a couple of generations later, than what he had been wearing. When they came and he tried them on, he said they felt good, but...the toe box is super wide and they looked very clunky. Think Mickey Mouse shoes. My husband loves comfort and pretty much doesn't care what anything looks like as long as it feels good, but even he thought they looked very big and wide. So we returned them. If you want a really roomy toe box, these could be just the shoes for you. Comfort and fit should trump appearance, so it's just a matter of opinion.

Well built and extremely uncomfortable. Nov 12, 2010
By David Hea
These shoes appear to be very well built however there is no cushion in the heel area of the shoe. Walking in them is very uncomfortable.
