Customer Reviews Hush Puppies Chaste Ballet

I bought these shoes two years ago almost to the day, and have worn them all of twice. The fit is exactly right, but the inside of the cognac flats is this incredibly rough material, and it rubs blisters against the top of my toe box. I can't stand to wear them longer than a couple of hours, and I don't know that "breaking them in" would do anything about the awful material. It's too bad, because they're very cute.

I didn't care for these shoes. The style was kind of frumpy and they material seemed plasticky.

Size up if you choose leather. I bought a pair of these in the fabric material and found that my regular size (10N) fit fine. But when I ordered a pair in leather, they felt at least a half-size too small. Otherwise, these are very cute and good for casual wear.

Out of the box the shoes look great... upon putting it on and walking on the carpet, I noticed the right shoe was a tad bigger than the left. I stood on my toes and the right shoe slipped off my right heel. Upon looking at the shoe further, the stitching looks a bit different from each other. The left shoe looked like it had a zig zag stitching a d the right looked like it had a regular straight stitch. Ultimately, these are going back... they're too expensive (for flats) to have to justify the flaws.

I bought them in nude, they looked dull for the price Returned

Overall, these flats were disappointing. I was excited to find these in a size 12 (length was great) and loved the look of the flat in cognac leather. However, the quality was poorer than expected. The padding was minimal in the bottom although acceptable, but the actual material of the sides/top of the flat was terribly plastic-like! It actually made a loud crinkly sound reminiscent of a plastic vinyl tarp when removing from the box. Upon trying the shoes on, the heels rubbed and hurt instantly. For the material and heel issue, I returned them.

Bought this shoe in next size up to fit orthotics and to be worn barefoot. There are vertical seams at the back of the shoe that rub my heels raw . Shoe was returned.

These are cute but my foot felt like it was hanging off the side past the actual sole of the shoe.

I love the style of this shoe! It is super cute; however, it really doesn't offer much support and after only 2x of wearing, some of the stones fell off. I was able to remedy them by using black sharpie to color over the glue and then they look brand new.

Really sad to have to return these. I have two other pairs in different colors of this exact same shoe and they fit just fine. These however, like another review I read are a different cut. I can barely get my foot in them while my earlier two purchases are actually a tiny bit loose. They were so much tighter I went and checked the box to make sure the correct size was sent. Hate to see that Hush Puppies has let quality control go because one of the shoes is the correct size.

The suede version is much more comfortable through the toe area. The leather version I have I cannot wear for more than a few hours. The suede version are the most comfortable ballet flats ever.

Although this shoe is advertised as having arch support, there was none. It was uncomfortable wearing around the house for a few minutes. Cute shoe though.

This review pertains strictly to the azure metallic blue. I have two other pairs of this same shoe and love them! I ordered the same exact size and width, and the blue was about a half size too long and sloppy in the heel despite the stretchy back. So I ordered a half size smaller. The width was still right, the length was now right, but the back was still sloppy. Back they are going. Maybe they were made in a different country, factory ???? The black stud are my favorite non athletic shoe and I would recommend them in a heart beat, and have written a "love them" review. Buyer beware that these fit like a completely different shoe.

Very bright blue. Returning as they were really huge.

I loved the look of these shoes! I never have trouble with size 7 being too small. I sometimes even have to size down to 6 1/2 (although that never ends up working out quite right after I wear them for a while). I was excited to get these shoes in size 7 but disappointed to find that the elastic around the opening was snug and made wearing them uncomfortable, especially on the heels and on the left shoe on the outside of my foot below the toes. I walk a lot, so finding comfortable shoes is important.

These shoes are super cute and comfortable for ballet flats. However, I'm extremely disappointed that after wearing them twice I'm already missing 10 of the rhinestones. I'd think for the price, the rhinestones would last longer than 2 wears.

These are ok. They stay on my feet well, though I like the nude color less than I thought I would. They also rub at the heel and at a seam around the toe area, so I put some moleskine in to fix that. Still, I prefer to wear them with no show socks, even though they show a bit around the edges. But for my narrow feet, it's hard to find flats that stay on and these do that. True to size.

I have wide, "duck feet", so finding shoes that fit is always a challenge. Often, if they're wide enough in the toe then they are too loose in the heel. I purchased these in a 10w, hoping that would be enough. Sadly, after a day or so of wearing them, I'm finding that it wasn't. They are fine at the heel-but slightly loose. The toe box, however, is too tight. I should have purchased the wide and extra wide to compare, but didn't. I adore the style, though, and the length is perfect. I will try stretching the toe box on these, since they are leather, and maybe I'll be able to wear them for more than 30 minutes!

These shoes just didn't have enough support for my feet. I wear 10 wide. The 10 was too long but the width was fine. They're rather flimsy. Just not a good fit for me.

This studded shoe is absolutely adorable BUT the sole has 2 large sections (one at the ball of the foot and another at the heel) that seems to be made from plastic and is VERY slippery on wood or tile floors! I ordered another Chaste Ballet flat in the nude color that has a completely different sole. The nude version is perfect- notice how the underneath is different, and it grips the floor just fine. I will be returning the silver studded version.

When I first tried these on, they seemed really comfortable - they even came in a wide width! But as I wore them throughout the day, they started to dig into my heel and the top of my foot. I wore them for a second day, and it's not any better. The elastic around the edge of this shoe really digs in - there is no breaking that in, unfortunately. Was going to wear these as travel shoes, but I wouldn't last a half mile in these before blisters.

I've reviewed these before in the plain suede version. PLEASE BRING THE PLAIN SUEDES BACK, HUSH PUPPIES! The leather and these studded ones are different material and are not nearly as comfortable. I tried the snakeskin suede and they are very close but still not like the plain suedes. I will keep the snakeskin but the studs are going back. (I've looked elsewhere on the Internet and I don't think they make the suedes any more)

When I first tried these on, I was thrilled that they fit. With very very wide feet, finding flats is almost impossible. Last night I wore them to dinner, and after a very short distance discovered that the sole is much narrower than the stretchiness of the shoe, so my foot was half on and half off the sole. The heel is also too narrow, so my feet ended up pronating with every step. The style is really appealing, but once again I am fooled by the width sizing.

Like the style although they don't look like leather. Toes felt pinched so returning and renewing search for affordable, comfortable flat. As always love Zappos customer care.

I thought these shoes ran small. Had to exchange for a full size up. They're very pretty and have a decent amount of cushioning on the bottom but no arch support to speak of. I'm using them for a special occasion and they'll work fine but if there were an everyday shoe I'd return them for something more comfortable.
