Customer Reviews Hush Puppies Burlesque

I had to order this shoe twice because when I received the first pair, the outside box said red, but the shoes were black! After receiving the correct shoes, I have been extremely pleased with these shoes. I ordered a wide and the toe box fits well. The heel is a perfect height and the red color is very stylish. love them.

Update -- I wore these to orientation in Manhattan, today, for a new job I'll be starting. Now I am really hoping they just need to be broken in more. They were rubbing on my pinkie toes and the backs of my ankles/heels. Thank goodness I had some band aids with me.

They are cute. They are the width I need. I am going to keep them because I will need comfortable shoes for a new job. However, I will need to get some gel insoles because that blue dot thing on the bottom of the shoe irritates my feet, I feel it through the shoe. (Strangely, more-so in the right than the left.)

The look of this shoe is fabulous. The fit less so. I wear an 11.5, so 12 is sometimes a bit big, but doable. These feel smaller than a 12, narrower and more snug. The toe curls up slightly, but the big toe still rubs a bit. However, because they make my foot look smaller (!) and are so gorgeous on I'm going to have them stretched a bit and keep them.

Not very comfortable without a replacement insole; buy a size larger if you plan to do this. Also, plan to stretch the heel a little at the top. As shipped, it is pretty sharp & pinchy.

I wrote a review when I first bought these, but it needs updated. I have narrow feet, and I had to buy a very snug fit to prevent these from bouncing around. The leather is very stiff. The shoes caused blisters without socks. They took a very long time to break in; breaking them in was pretty uncomfortable. That said, a year later, I am ordering two more pairs. I have a closet full of shoes, but every morning I find myself putting these on. They are the most comfortable dress shoes I own. They don't breathe enough, which is my only real complaint. If the designer had put holes in them, they would be nearly perfect. (I've thought about asking a shoe repair place if they can punch holes in them.) I wish they looked a little better with a pant suit, but I'd rather be comfortable. I can wear these all over New York City (with socks) and still feel great at the end of the night. If you know of anything better, please let me know!

I wear a narrow when I can find it and Zappos is great on that. This shoe runs small and because it was for travel, it was important to have a good fit. I tried 3 different sizes. Delivery was fast and thank goodness for Zappos' return policy. I wore the proper one all over Thailand and had no back pain.

These are so cute, practical and felt comfortable when I first tried them on. After a long day of walking though, it cut into my skin a bit at the back of the heel. I need to put some extra padding behind my ankle so I don't get blisters every time I wear them.

Was excited about this cute shoe, good reviews etc. Alas my feet weren't as happy. They are adorable and I want to keep them but I told myself I wouldn't torture my feet anymore for the sake of style so they'll have to go back. They squish my big toes (top side at toenail bed) and I already have sensitivity there. Shoe is well made, nice height, felt sizing was right...just a bit odd in the toe area for me.

I bought these in brown, the lighter one. They are so cute! They are narrow enough -- don't slip off my heels. And I like the height and quality of the heels. They work out well in the short term but seemed stiff when I wore them for hours at a time. I like the way they look so much and how they fit that I'm willing to keep trying to wear them and soften them up.

These feel strange at first...the arch is so high, you feel like they don't fit. After walking around in them, though, you get used to it. Not as cushy inside as I had hoped, but super-cute.

I should start by saying that I have very difficult feet to fit! After much trial and error trying to find something that wasn't a sport shoe that I could wear all day while working and the Hush Puppies Burlesque fit the bill. I usually wear a W, but in this instance went for the WW. I would recommend this shoe!

These are a well made, comfortable shoe. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars in all categories was that they are a little stiff so far - but I'm sure will ease in as time goes by. I wear them frequently so that is the best compliment I can give any shoe.

These are cute and practical, and would most likely suit certain types of feet! It felt great when I first tried them on, but I actually wore them out on a long day full of walking, the leather of the back heel was pretty stiff, so it cut into my skin and gave me blisters through my Band-Aids!

I like these shoes, but the toe is too tight. Shoe repair ought to be able to fix that. I wear 8.5 N (AA) My other Hush Puppies did not have this problem. Haven't worn them yet due to the tight toe, so cannot comment on size statements. Right size except for tight toe. I'll keep them.

Cute shoe but runs half size short. I'm a 10M and this shoe rubbed my big toe. Will order a larger size.

I am mobile throughout the day at work and in play, and these shoes keep my feet comfortable, which is no easy task. I continue to get compliments on them regularly because they are compliment my style, whether I'm in a skirt or jeans. I'm so glad I took a chance on these!

Although these look comfortable, the leather is hard, and there are no laces, so you need a precise fit. I have slightly narrow feet, but ordinarily wear medium. A regular size 10 felt comfortable until I walked. They bounced around banging my toes. The leather is hard, so this hurt. I downsized to a 10 narrow. These felt slightly too small, but I thought they would be better once I broke them in. They cut my feet the first time I wore them. After that I wore socks. They are starting to break in and feel more and more comfortable. Pretty soon, I think I will be able to wear them without socks. I'm taking a leap of faith and giving these 4 stars. They are cute, the soles are thick, and shoe is good quality. If the fit is right, I think they will be as comfortable as you can expect from something that is not tennis shoes.

Overall the shoes are good; I was happy with how they looked and the fit was good (I am a 9.5) except the top of the shoe dug into the top of my foot. I had to manually stretch out the top of the shoe before I could wear them. Now that I have stretched the top of the shoe, they fit perfect; very comfortable (I can wear them all day) and I have received several compliments form co-workers.

I really like the style of the shoe and it is comfortable for the most part. I find the upper squeezes the top of my foot after wearing at work for the day. I am hoping they will stretch a bit with wear.

I have a wide, flat foot. I ordered these in a 8.5 WW and they were barely wide enough and not big enough. So I went up to a 9 and they didn't still didn't fit. In shoes that don't offer a WW I can usually wear a 9W. I had to finally just return the 2nd pair and give up. It was sad because this was a super cute shoe that made my feet look small. My husband even thought they were cute.

I bought this shoe to accommodate my new orthotics. I had purchased several other shoes and styles and none felt comfortable. I did buy these in a 9 instead of an 8 1/2, but they fit fine with the orthotics in place. They are pretty cute and don't look like "old lady" shoes.

Cute shoes, though they feel a little stiff for casual wear, and are a bit tight across the ball of the foot despite buying the extra wide width.
