Customer Reviews Hush Puppies Chaste Ballet

Compared to a similar Born shoe, this is inadequate. It has zero support and almost no sole. If you stepped on a pebble with this shoe on, it would really hurt. Sending them back; keeping the Born.

This model was just okay, nothing special. I was just looking for a generic pair of black flats which is exactly what they are, but I used to own a pair of Toms that were very similar and those I loved. These shoes have no cushion whatsoever and the elastic hugs a little tight in my opinion. I bought Peds liners with padding and that helped.

These shoes are adorable and flattering, but unfortunately, they did not work for my feet. I tried them in three different sizes, my usual size (7 WW), plus a half size up and down, and have finally given up on them. I found that the elastic at the back was pushing my foot too far forward and smushing my toes at the front. When I went up a half size, the same thing happened but then I had a gap behind my heel. I have a REALLY REALLY hard time finding cute shoes that fit my super wide feet with bunions. Actually I think the width was okay for me (hard to say just wearing them around the house for a few minutes-- not long enough for the usual pain I experience from the bunions when I wear closed shoes). But the problem with the elastic at the back sealed the deal. Must return and add this one to the long list of rejects.

It's too bad, but I had to return these. They are very cute and versatile - could easily be day or night - and provide more support than most flats. They also made my wide feel look narrower. But they're made of a very stiff material and the scrunchiness of them makes them very tight against your heel. Just not comfortable.

I have these in the purple leather/stud and they're great ballet flats. This review, however, is for the black neoprene ones. They were slightly longer, despite being the same size as the purple leather ones (perhaps because the elastic has less "cinch" to it). And, maybe it's just me, but after having these on for 2 minutes to decide if I like them, my feet became incredibly hot warning: neoprene is not a breathable fabric!

These run really short. Order a full size up. Also, these are definitely not walking shoes - they would be fine if you need a back-up for your heels while commuting to work.

I got this in the studded black. Lots of compliments - subdued bling that can go dressy or casual. It is easy to pack - light and squishable. Since it stays on by hugging your foot with the elasticized back, I found it kind of snug around the toes, especially after wearing it all day. And there is practically no sole (it is very similar to a dance ballet flat). I'm not going to be able to wear this outside except on the cleanest surface because dust, grass, water, etc. will be on the side of the shoe. So, it's really, really cute, but wildly impractical for where I live. I'll enjoy, but won't buy again.

I like the simple style and the promise of more support, but...no. I bought the black neoprene in my usual size, 8 wide. I felt like my toes were always fighting a battle to get squished, and the elastic did a good job of keeping the shoe on but it was just always THERE. Not comfortable. On top of that, I didn't pay enough attention to see that the soles were felt-like and not non-slip material. That's just not good. These just feel too much like slippers, but not even comfortable slippers. I didn't even consider ordering up a size and trying again. Maybe I just can't do ballet flats with my foot issues?

These are SUPER CUTE but absolutely no support (felt like I was walking on a thin piece of cardboard) and ran a bit narrow in the toe box. Sad to say these will have to go back. (I wear an 11 Medium and sometimes Wide and ordered 11 Wide).

These shoes run a bit big. One of the shoes was slipping on my heel, so I returned them. They have a cozy insole, but the fit wasn't quite right for my foot. I'm usually an 8.5 and think an 8 would be better. I wasn't in love, so I returned them without trying a smaller size.

The color and fabric are nice, the length is true to size, the width a little odd, wide through the middle and narrow at the ends, so that they manage to both look sort of loose and squeeze the toes at the same time. The vamp is a good depth, spot on, covers the toes and looks proportionate to the shoe. I am 10 narrow so they aren't going to look cute no matter what - flats are the domain of short wide feet, in general. But what is really off about their construction is the arch placement. The bump for the arches is set really far forward in the shoe so it ends up more or less under the ball of my foot. It is as though the shoe was made for someone who had no toes. They aren't big arch supports so the shoe is still wearable but I can't imagine who they designed these for, if not toe-amputees. I don't think it's my feet as this has never been an issue in any other shoes.

These ran super large as I am a 9½WW and they were swimming on me. I ordered a 9W and they are better fit but they hit a bunion area and annoy it after wearing too long also not enough support for all day on feet. They are good to throw on as second shoe of the day for a break but not primary.

Cute shoes, accurate color and good for simple flats. Not great for every day wear, they slip around a bit and have no arch support.

These are very soft flat shoes, and are beautiful soft suede leather. The fit was what I expected, but there was so little support that I have to return them. I have narrow feet, but it felt like there was too little sole for my foot. I am so sad, because otherwise they would be great shoes.

I was searching for stylish, comfortable and supportive flats to wear while being on my feet a moderate amount of the day, unfortunately, while these are really cute, they aren't comfortable or supportive. They dig into my ankles in the back, and don't provide the sole or arch support needed to walk around in. Also I ordered these specifically because they came in wide and still seemed pretty average.

These are very cute. That's a definite plus. Unfortunately, they have no padding or support, so they're not ideal for wearing all day (at least not for me). They will be great to have in my bag when I can't walk another step in heels and cute for a dinner party at home, but I can't see wearing them all day. They're basically slippers I can safely wear outside. I also think they're a little bit short--I'm usually a 9 or 9.5 in XW shoes, and these are a 10 and my big toe is pushing against the front.

These took a while to break in, but once I did, I've decided they're great. Great neutral color, nice supportive sole. The gathered top was so uncomfortable at first I thought I'd return them , but I sort of forgot about them and then kept wearing them. Also, they do feel kind of hot at times. As in, they don't really breathe and my toes get sweaty. But whatever, I like the color and pattern on these.

These are wonderful for narrow feet, but they are half a size shorter than usual sizing. I normally wear a 10, and as another reviewer noted, there is no 10½, so unfortunately I am still without narrow ballet flats that work for me.

Really wanted to love these. They are really cute and really shiny, and have a nice shape. Unfortunately they were uncomfortable on my achilles. The smaller size I tried (my usual size) was too tight and painful, so I tried a 12 size up. The bigger size was still pressing into my achilles, but was loose enough that when I walked it rubbed up and down and started to give me a blister. I think they have to fit you just right and they didn't for me.

Super cute flats. I've only worn them twice so far and they are not comfortable. I'm hoping they'll stretch out a bit.

I have very wide feet and a bunion, and had to order half a size up in the WW to have these fit. They are not comfortable, the fabric is rough at the seams in the inside, the ankle elastic rubs a bit, and there is no arch support - it feels like you are walking in house slippers. However, I am so tired of trying to find flats that even remotely fit my giant feet I am going to stick with them for now. Also, the aqua color is quite nice, but I do wish there was more of a heel.

These are great looking ballet flats. There is lots of built-in padding, too. But I am sad to say that they are not as comfortable as I expected. But I have problem feet (a bunion on the left) and even the wide width rubs against it a bit, making long wear uncomfortable. Also, the toe box feels too flat; in other words it could be a bit higher so toes have some more room.

These are cute flats. They travel compactly, but there is not enough cushioning if you are walking for more than 20 minutes. I also ordered a pair of Born flats at the same time. Those provide a lot more support.

Go with your gut on these. I should have! I kept looking at the photos and that edging... It is not attractive. Shoe isn't that comfy either. There's just not much to these. The price is reduced, but not enough to justify keeping them...
