I love this sneaker! It takes a little time to break it in but after that it is soft and supple. Plenty of toe room. I am a nurse and I wear these to work- 12hr shifts- on my feet the whole time. I don\'t wear any other shoe for the past 10 years. I highly recommend this shoe and hope it is never discontinued.

This a good shoe for walking. Not big and bulky like some. Not quite as comfortable on the bottom of my feet as I would like, but comfortable. The last pair I had I wore for 2 years and they didn't even look worn. I have always liked Hush Puppies for their comfort and wide sizes.

Not as comfortable as I thought -
I bought a pair of these in the past and found them to be more cushioned and comfortable than this pair. The sole seems thinner and less shock absorbent. They do not provide the comfort I had hoped for.

Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support
These shoes are comfortable and great for casual wear. I can seldom find a shoe that I can wear without pain. So far no pain. There is moderate support and ample toe room. I generally wear a 9.5 but a 9 fits perfectly. The outer sides are high and tapered so no gaps. The inner toe leather is supple and causes no pressure on bunion areas. Most importantly support is properly placed under the shaft of the foot with a long heel that prevents the arch from sagging. Great shoe!

Very comfortable -
This shoe is not stylish, but it is oh so comfortable. If you walk a lot in your job, this is the shoe for you.
Additional Brand Information
Hush Puppies - An American Legend
In 1958, Hush Puppies created the world's first casual shoe, signaling the beginning of today's relaxed style.
By utilizing supple suede in combination with lightweight crepe soles, Hush Puppies created a soft, breathable and very comfortable shoe - an innovation that would ultimately change the kind of shoes we wear. In an era when footwear choices were limited, Hush Puppies shoes provided the world with a new alternative. A modern shoe embraced for its authentic style and casual flair.
Since the beginning, the beloved basset hound has embodied the easygoing nature that is Hush Puppies. Introduced during a time of new freedoms and changing lifestyles, the Hush Puppies brand name and mascot quickly became symbolic of the emerging optimism of mid-century America.
Relaxed and classic in design, Hush Puppies shoes have always defined what it means to be modern and casual. Today, Hush Puppies continues to innovate, bringing technical excellence and genuine style to men, women, and children in over 120 countries.
A revolutionary idea - born fifty years ago - continues to inspire Hush Puppies today.

Uncomfortable shoes -
The Hush Puppies are not comfortable due to the fact that the toe box is too hard. It is particularly bad when I am walking downhill! This is the second time I have bought Hush Puppies in several years and both times found this to be true. I would not recommend the shoe to anyone with sensitive feet.

General comments -
I have been wearing these shoes for many years, but can no longer find them locally. I put them on this morning and have worn them several hours without any discomfort. I do notice they are constructed somewhat differently than the old pair. The sole seems is of a "plasticky" substance rather than rubber. I am wondering whether they will slip on wet or waxed surfaces. I like the appearance and color (stone). White gets shabby looking too soon and black is so severe. These don't look "that bad" with any type of pants. Also, they don't have that clumsy wide toe look that most of these types of shoes do.

I have been wearing this particular shoe (upbeat) for 10 years. I find it very comfortable; soft leather, with a sole that has bounce. I exercise 4 times a week wearing this shoe and it last me about 7-8 months before I need a new pair. It is true to size. I would rate this shoe a 7-8. I do wish Hush Puppies Corp. would start making it in a nubuck again.

Your feet don't hurt after 8 hrs. on them!
I use this shoe to work in. I have used it for a number of years now. When I am wearing this shoe my feet do not hurt after standing all day for 8 to 10 hours straight. They last me about 6 months then I start to feel that they are not as comfortable. So I know it is time to order a new pair.

Wonderful -
I love Hush Puppies Upbeat shoes. They are so very comfortable, and I like it that they come in different colors. I cannot wear a flat shoe, which most walking shoes are, so these fit the bill very nicely.

My Puppies –
The support and cushion match that of my old SAS walking shoes that cost twice as much.

I love my Hush Puppies -
I have been buying these shoes for years, they are the only shoes that I can put on new and go out shopping and they never hurt my feet. Also wear them to work where I stand on cement floors for ten hours a day and my feet never hurt.

Upbeat from Zappos -
This shoe is very comfortable and gives great support. The stone color that I have goes with everything. Zappos service is very fast. No charges for shipping or returning can't be beat.

Hush Puppies upbeat -
The shoe is very comfortable, with plenty of toe room. My only problem with it, is that the sole tends to slip on most smooth surfaces. I am not excited about wearing it outdoors on wet surfaces.

Fantastic Shoe-
I have a pair of these shoes I have had for about 4 years that are still in great shape. I tried several other brands but came back to the Bounce shoe and bought 2 more pairs. They run about a size smaller than what I normally take but now I have my number and am more than pleased.

Felt like I was moving downhill!!
These shoes felt amazingly comfortable. Unbelievably so, but when I walked in them I felt like I was moving downhill. Well, yes, the heel is higher than the front of the shoe. I've never experienced this before. Is this common? Maybe I am behind the times, but I thought shoes were supposed to be even! I returned these because of this, not sure that slope would be good for one's back, knees, etc..

hush puppies shoes -
The Hush Puppies shoes that I purchased fit and feel great on my feet. I had foot surgery about a year ago and could not find the right shoe. I still have to put in extra arch supports which I purchased at Wal-Mart. But I had to do that with any shoe, only the Hush Puppies made my feet feel heavenly.

Only shoes that work -
I bought these shoes for my mom. She has arthritis and her feet are in very poor condition. These are the only shoes that she can find that giver her support all day. She has tried other types, but nothing else works. She said these shoes are the best.
