Two years old and still good.
I bought a pair of Hush Puppies, white leather, about 2 years ago. These are the best walking shoes ever had. They are waterproof, I wore them all summer in the rain, in puddles, and never had wet socks. These shoes are still very comfortable. I have only had to polish them twice and they still look good. I saw them in a shoe store and bought another pair while I could get them. I had never seen them in other colors before today when I discovered this site.
I am old and in all these years have never found a pair of shoes I liked better. I have several pair of other styles in the same brand, and will be looking to see if they still sell them. I never saw the shoes in different colors and leathers. I will be getting another pair in a different color. Thanks Hush Puppies for manufacturing such a good quality shoe. Please keep up the good work. It is not easy for me to find shoes that really fit.

I have tried many shoes over the past 30+ years of my nursing career and these are the best shoes I have EVER had. They are not only comfortable and good looking but they are extremely durable. I am looking forward to my second pair. Please don't ever take this shoe off your production line.

I am tickled pink.
I have serious knee and foot problems, which can eventually only be solved by surgery. Until that time I have found the Hush Puppy Walking Shoe with the Bounce dynamics the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. I also must work on my feet a lot, so this is all very important to me. I would highly recommend this shoe to all, but especially those with wide feet, bunnions, bone spurs and/or knee problems.

Poor SupportGreat Support
Hush Puppy Upbeats -
Zappos is a great store. I wear a size 4.5 which is difficult to find most places, especially for athletic style shoes. The Hush Puppy Upbeats do run very small. I had to return the 4.5 and get a bigger size. Overall they are not as comfortable as Easy Spirit but they do have good support and the quality is good.

Hush Puppies's Upbeat -
I love these shoes! I have owned four pair, and they are very difficult to wear out. The support is there even after the outer leather is scuffed and worn. I prefer the light gray color, but it was not available for my recent purchase. The shoes have been excellent for my needs.

Fabulous service!
I have had trouble finding narrow walking shoes
locally, but will never worry about it again.
The service I had from Zappos.com was wonderful!
I ordered the shoes on Sunday afternoon and they
were delivered at my house on Tuesday afternoon--
free shipping! The shoes were exactly what I had
been looking for. I ordered N or 2A and they are
a little wide, but I had already worn them when I
realized that. I will just wear thicker socks and
the next time I order, I will try the slim. Thanks for such an easy way to shop and have the
absolutely best service I've had in a long, long
time.

solid comfort -
This shoe provides a stable and comfortable fit for people who spend a lot of time on their feet. The uniform shoe design is not very interesting, but the lines are attractive and the comfort is great!

A Close Second -
I had to find athletic shoes in black for a new job fast, so I went straight to Zappos.com. I ordered the Upbeat and the Classic Walker to compare. I ended up going with the Classic Walker and returning the Upbeat. I tried the Upbeat on first and they were so comfortable I thought they were going to be "the one", but, the Classic Walkers were just a bit more comfortable and I preferred the smoother lines. Still, a great comfortable shoe and may fit you better.

Pretty comfortable for short walks -
These shoes are comfortable enough as long as you are only walking for short periods of time. The backs are fairly high and have a tendency to hit the back of my ankle and rub a bit, so I wouldn't want to wear them all day but they do okay for my daily hour of walking.

I have had at least 5 pairs of this type before this one and this is the first pair that I have had a size problem with. When I first ordered a 9M it was too small- short and tight around the toes. I reordered a 9 1/2 M which fits much more like the 9 used to. It will take a little time wearing it to break it in and get it as comfortable as I like. The colors are more limited, too. They also used to come in a blue suede that I liked better than the shiny black.

Upbeat shoes -
I purchased the Hush Puppies Upbeat shoes to wear with my leg brace. The shoes are comfortable to wear and I need the extra wide width. The shoes do have a nice look, but the bottom of the shoes did slip on wet surfaces.

Great Shoes -
Been wearing these for years, but could't find them anymore. By chance, I found Zappos and there they were! Wear 8WW, always hard to find-and have flat feet. These don't cause me arch pain like others (New Balance for one).

Better than most!
Loved the look and fit most. I agree with the other reveiwers that said these shoes helped avoid leg and hip pain. I was able to wear these most of the day, but after about eight hours the bottom of my feet started to ache and my hips legs and ankles felt great all day. I usually wear SAS shoes and never have to worry about tired feet. All in all, these shoes are about 90 percent better than most of the shoes I have tried, I just wouldn't wear them on a full day at the mall or an amusement park.

Comfortable, but not stylish -
This hush puppies shoe is extremely comfortable. I am on my feet 10 hours a day at work and they never hurt. In the looks department it is a little lacking. Color chocies are limited. Usually white, black or dawn. But if you want a shoe that you can wear all day this is it.

Upbeat feels great, but heels wear out quickly -
Although I swear by the Upbeat shoe, my one complaint is that the heel wears out rather quickly and unevenly. When it begins to wear out, it throws my entire balance off, sending me to the chiropractor for an adjustment while I wait for new shoes to arrive. The comfort factor, though, is very nice, when new.

Comments on Hush Puppies walking shoe -
I only wore the shoes once - the feel as if they were mis-sized. Seem to be too wide. I ordered 7AAA (S) and my toes are jammed all the way to the end of the shoe. I doubt I can wear them again because my toes hurt bad enough to go to my car from work and get another pair on.

I Love this Shoe -
I have had problems with any shoe but as I’m on my feet all day at work needed to get one that would feel like a glove, I have no knee cap in my right leg and needed comfort and I have found it my feet don't hurt at the end of a 9 to 10 hour day, and my legs don't burn like with other shoes I have tried this hush puppy is wonderful.

Wish I hadn't bought these -
I usually get the Classic Walker, but I decided to try these in addition to a pair of the above. These are more expensive. They are also "stiff" and heavy and feel "clunky". I can't return them because I have worn them once -- I will chalk this up to experience.

Try the Classic Walker -- it's better

Average shoe -
These shoes are well made and are more true to size than other Hush Puppies I've bought in the past. They usually run bigger than other shoes, but not this style. My one complaint is that the soles are slippery even though they appear to be rubbery. I have had a few close calls when wearing these shoes.

New Balance makes a great walking shoe.

I especially like ordering from this site because no shipping is charged and if they do not fit I can send them back postage free. I have always received my order in two days. Very good company to work with!

I have no special needs when it comes to shoes and I wanted plain white leather sneakers, which are hard to find. This shoe would have sufficed but the sole is so narrow, my foot rolled to the outside. There is a twisted ankle awaiting folks who wear these shoes.

Please read this BEFORE buying the shoes!
I bought these shoes 2.5 months ago, and they are already almost worn out. They are classified as a walking shoe and that's a bunch of bull. I walk 60 minutes a day and the soles are so soft that they are almost worn through.
The bottoms of the sole are made of some sort of soft rubber stuff. The sole is not durable at all and wears quickly. This was a BIG waste of $70.
COMFORT: Yes, they are comfortable, though I did end up with a few blisters when I was trying to break them in. I'm use to buying new shoes and just wearing them, but I spend a few weeks breaking these in.
LOOK: The look real nice and still "look" new.
I would NEVER purchase these shoes again. They'd be fine if you didn't do any real walking (like just walking the mall). Normally my tennis shoes last 1.5 years, but I'm gonna end up buying new shoes in about 2 months.
