Customer Reviews Hush Puppies Chaste Ballet

Hushpuppy used to be a reliable brand. I was thrilled to find these comfortable-looking leather Hushpuppies in double-wide 9.5 and with padded insole. That's all the pluses - all general. Now the minuses, which are specific: the elastic and 3 vertical seams on the heels quickly gave me blisters with very little walking inside the office. I paid $10 to the shoe shop to sew a strip of leather over the rim of the heels. The soles are cheesy cheap. As in all shoes made in China, it feels like someone is pressing DOWN on top of my big toenails. BUYERS BEWARE. For this price and this brand, this is a TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT. See my attached photos.

Picture doesn't do it justice - I loved the color so much I took a chance. This is a great barefoot shoe. Perfect for running in and out of the house and errands. 9.5 narrow fit is excellent! One down side: The suede is a little thin and may not make it through the summer if I continue to wear them every day!

This is a great ballet flat for someone with wide feet. Both my daughter and I have the super wide toe box issue, which generally means cute ballet flats are out of the question. However, with the XXW width, these fit nicely (I did order 1/2 size up for both of us.) You do have to keep in mind that they are still ballet flats, though. Not a lot of arch support, and not really meant as a walking shoe. These are for when you are running a quick errand or want a show that looks cute, not for a day of sightseeing or getting things done. Still, nice to have the option of a ballet flat, which I 've never had before!

Super cute. I got the pale coral suede color, and it's fun while also being versatile. The shoe is soft and comfortable. After two days of constant wear and substantial walking, I started to get a little bit of blistering on my pinky toes. I took a day off and that was all the breaking in they needed. I'm a true 8.5 with medium to narrow feet, and the sizing was true to fit. These are a standard ballet flat in that there is no support whatsoever, and the sole is insubstantial enough that after prolonged walking on concrete your knees will take a beating. These are great shoes, but at this price point I highly recommend the Born Julianne as an alternative. They look really similar, and the Born is only a few bucks more while having way more support and seeming like a much better made shoe.

The nude flats fit good. Not as tight as black leather. The soles are surprisingly slick. I imagine they would wear better once they are worn on concrete. I am returning because the leather is thin and I like the silver stud flats better.

LOVE. I purchased 9 pairs of ballet flats in the hopes of finding ones that were cute, with arch support, some semblance of a sole, and in a wide width. These were the winners. Comfy, squishy inner, rubber sole, wide and huggy and doesnt look like it should be on your great gramma. WIN.

I have been buying these flats for the last 7 years. I absolutely love them and pick up the same or similar pairs when mine start to get a little worn. I waited for the black stud to go on sale and picked up a pair of them and decided to try the light brown color. I seriously don't know what happenend. This is like a totally different shoe brand. I kept checking the insoles because I could not believe they were hush puppies. The quality is terrible. Not sure if they changed manufactuerers or if they are just trying to cut overhead costs...but it's terrible and I noticed. Guess I will be looking into Born's and Clarks. Super dissapointing.

I love these shoes! Normally I have a very difficult time finding a new pair of shoes that fit properly and is comfortable from the very first time I try them on. These do both! Can't say enough about how cute and comfy they are. I have wide feet with bunions and can wear these all day with no trouble whatsoever. Finally a stylish ballet flat that feels as good as it looks!

Looked a little cheaper than I expected up close but not noticeable once you have the shoe on. Not perfect craftsmanship- a few flaws. I specifically purchased the shoe because it comes in the wide sizes. If you are one of those people who suffers from ballet flats pinching your toes- this shoe is an excellent solution. Just order as Wide- problem solved!

My daughter wanted her shoes for her wedding to be comfy and her "something blue." However, these are not "pale blue" but instead "pale green." It's a lovely green, but she wanted her something blue. It's a shame because they were so perfect in every other way.

I got the 9w and they fit perfect. It is very hard for me to find ballet that are comfortable Bc I need wide width. The color cognac is nice. My problem is on the third wear the toe shell on the inside is coming loose and is rubbing my pinky toe and making it not so comfortable. For the price I am not pleased.

These are super comfy and cute, but note that the cognac color is not as dark as the photos online. In person, it’s more of a darker nude color.

These are the only ballet flats I will buy. Comfortable, goes with everything, and they come in my size!! 10N

I have narrow feet - these fit perfectly & didn’t fall off my heel

Normally can't wear flats, but these are so comfortable. Actually bought 4 pairs in different colors! Love them!

I had researched online to find comfortable flats...I have to say, these are way less comfortable than the cheap flats I already own. I think the elastic feels tight. The toe box is slightly narrow. Maybe a wide would be more comfortable? These also don't have very much cushion.

they are not nude...they are totally blush pink...terrible

I can't figure out who decided it would be a good idea to make flats "C-shaped". Human feet are not shaped this way. Super uncomfortable and the arch-support-looking-pad is purely decorative. Sorry but you can't "trick" someone into thinking that shoes are comfortable. I can't believe how much money so many companies are expecting for such shoddy workmanship these days.

I loved these shoes for the first week or two, but then they began to show great wear. By the end of the season I could no longer wear them because they looked so bad. I am so disappointed, especially because these shoes were $80 and only lasted less than one season

I don't have a wide foot but I will reorder in a wide width when available. I LOVE the shoe!

I really like these ballet flats! They’re comfortable & stylish. I got a wide since I have wide feet and they fit just fine. They have as much arch support as you can expect from a ballet flat. They’re elasticized so they don’t slip off like some flats tend to do.

I love Hush Puppies and have bought them for several years as they offer a hard to find true narrow width. Also, they are stylish and comfortable. Some online stores say “narrow,” but they are really not. I also love the quality I received from Zappos. Again, I have bought “Hush Puppies” from other online sellers and sent them back because they were not the same quality as those I purchased from Zappos. I think they weren’t really the Hush Puppies” brand.

Shoes with charm. Look is sleek and stylish.

After more shoes than I care to say, i FINALLY found a pair in the color and size that works for me. The style is very nice (although I like the leather of the Lucky brand shoes I tried in several size a little more.) I ordered a 1/2 size larger and a double EE width instead of just a wide width and they will work well for me. We live in northern MN where I have to wear socks throughout the winter and these shoes will accommodate the extra thickness of the socks without being too tight. I am quite pleased to find a pair that works.

I own literally a dozen or so of these shoes. I started purchasing them in 2013, started several different colors, wear them daily from about September through April (when I can switch to flops on a daily basis). I wear them with suits, jeans, barefoot with stockings or tights. (I have a bad hip at the moment and cannot wear my heals)...but, the point is that I have only thrown one or two worn out pair away in all that time (and have not started to wear most of them)... a truly remarkable feat for me, as I am historically VERY hard to fit and equally hard on shoes. I have actually washed a pair or two when the inside has gotten so grubby that I cannot stand to put my foot in it... they hold up well even under "washing", except for the suede colors, which are not really happy being washed as they fade out to a very unpleasant muddy something or other. Anyway... just love the shoes and have started to purchase some of the wild colors for my almost teenage granddaughter who had the misfortune of inheriting my annoyingly wide bunion. Great shoe... great price... great wearability. The suede ones slip a little in the heal, but, I have always been a little afraid to go down a half-size. I highly recommend them.
