Customer Reviews Hush Puppies Mall Walker

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of these shoes. I suffer from foot pain from walking on hard concrete hospital floors all day. It is exacerbated by great shoes that wear out their padding sooner than expected. I've only had these for about a month but I've had no pain. I find that the length of size is correct but that they are just a hair wider and taller than other shoes I've worn. Thus they feel looser. It's fine with me but it could easily be corrected with a thin shoe insert. I suspect it is built this way to accommodate older persons that have a foot with larger girth. Overall this is a wonderful product and worth every penny.

Pardon the length, but Zappos was nice enough to ship me a bunch of shoes so I'm posting the review of all 6 of them here for you. I'm returning most of them, which I hate to do, but hopefully this bulk review will be of help to you. By the way, I'm a middle-aged male, size 14 5E feet with collapsing arches so I need real arch support. Zappos you need to post a real shoe buying guide to save you and your customers unnecessary shipping costs! General shoe buying pointers: 1. Pay attention to shoes. The wrong shoes can cause all sorts of joint pain. My knee inners were hurting like crazy got the correct shoes, knee pain went away. 2. Know whether or not you have high arches or, like me, flat feet, collapsing arches, overpronation, etc before you buy. It has been my and my podiatrist's experience that there are no shoes out there with sufficient arch support as-is. I have lately been using Montrail inserts with great success. 3. Each size of a particular shoe model will have only one sole for all widths in that size due to cost reasons. Wider sizes will have more leather/cloth upper material, thus it's normal to bulge on the sides. That said, some soles are narrower than others. 4. Some shoes will have more curve than others. If your feet don't curve much, don't buy shoes that do. You can tell by looking at the bottom in the pictures. 5. There is no standardization in lasts (the shoe molds they use when designing/making shoes). Certain brands tend to run a certain way and will always be that way. Disclosure: Brooks Addiction Walkers in 14-4E are my go-to shoe. I love them. Been buying them now for almost 5 years. Roomy, great for wide flat feet, plenty of cushioning, and they don t look awful. From the factory their arch support is as good as I have found, though I have to replace the original insoles with Montrails as they wear. As with any shoe, throw them away when they get old and get new ones. Your joints will thank you. Here goes: Saucony Guide 6, size 14-6E. Slightly tight on 14, barely a 4E, no way it's a 6E. Minimal arch support; Montrails helped out quite a bit. I would have kept these shoes had they actually fit like a 6E should fit. They were as wide as a Brooks Addiction 11 Walker 14-4E, so they lose in favor of the Addiction Walkers. The shoes with the yellow are highlighter yellow - just be aware of that. Hush Puppies Mall Walker 14-5E. Zero arch support, narrow in the toe box, and still a bit narrow even at 5E. Felt more like a 4E. I really tried to like these shoes - they looked nice. But they clogged as I walked, and don't expect any lateral grip from the tread that looks like it got cut by the guy who does all the Japanese gravel gardens (no disrespect, Mr. gravel garden man!). New Balance MW847 14-6E: Nice length, Nice width, but not as much of a roll bar as the NB 840v2, so even with Montrail inserts I tended to roll inward. Overall a nice shoe but I needed more rollbar. New Balance MW840v2 14-4E: Nice length, nice width. Lots of roll bar, and as much overall sole cushion as a Brooks Addiction Walker so that was nice. Definitely need inserts on these as they're board flat inside. Adding Montrail inserts made these a keeper. Brooks Addiction 11 14-4E. Length good. Width typical of Brooks 4E (which is probably correct). Very minimal arch support. I put some Montrails in and they were fine. Unlike the Addiction Walker, these grip your feet quite snugly but were not constrictive (this is probably pretty subjective). The blue-tinged shoes have some bright blue in them which is a little more boy racer than I need but it's not a killer. Propet Stability Walker 14-5E. Length was good, but the whole shoe is ramped forward so it feels like you're stepping into a pothole every step you take. Toe box is tight. No way this is a 5E. Tighter than a Brooks 4E. Ironically these shoes look like they should have a lot of arch support, but the sole gets very short up front. If you're coming from high heels, these will feel great, but for a flat-footed man like myself, no way Josie.

I stand all day on a concrete floor at work. Best shoe I have ever owned. What a difference they make in how my feet feel at the end of a day!

Outstanding service and I am very impressed with the fast return service. These shoes fit great and are very comfortable. I could not find my size anywhere else. Thanks, Zappos!

These are great shoes! They are true to size and very comfortable. This is my second pair and I am sure I will order them again.

I was very happy with the product with one exception and that was not a problem with the shoe as a problem with my foot. The seam around the toe area lands right on the toe joint on my right foot. The other shoes in this order are great and very comfortable. The service and shipping were great!

This was the fastest shipping on anything I ever ordered on the internet! I order late on a Friday afternoon and the shoes were delivered on Monday! I knew I would like the shoes but was pleasantly surprised by the fast shipping.

IT FITS - I have wide feet. always settled for shoes that did't fit properly.Zappos carries wider shoes than I couldbuy locally. Thank you.

Comfortable shoe. My husband says this is the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn. It is a very nice looking shoe, so it can be worn anywhere. He will be getting another pair, when these wear out. He wears them every day.

A satisfied customer - I have been using the same Hush Puppy Shoes for a long time. I bought the pair that I have been wearing before I ordered this last pair three years ago. I have been wearing them 7 days a week. They are still in good shape. It was hard to find them in shoe stores in Oklahoma City so I am glad that I found about you. Because they last so I long it will be quite a while before I have to order again.

Best in a long time! Most comfortable shoe I have had in a quite a while. Thanks, Zappos!

Excellent shoe for the price - I took a chance and bought these shoes for my husband. He was complaining that his sneakers weren't feeling right and his boat shoes didn't seem to have the support he needed. I bought them first in a size 9M and he thought they were too big. So I then purchased an 8 1/2M and those were too small!! He finally decided that the size 9M was good for him after all. The shoe is a smart-looking casual shoe and he says that they are so comfortable. Thank you, Zappos. I think I have him a customer as well!
