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.

Leather much too stiff. Not enough cushioning or support in the foot bed for these sensitive feet. Sorry, must return.

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.

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..

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.

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!

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.

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.
