Hush PuppiesWomen's Chaste Ballet Flat

Love the leather material. Toe is a little too rounded

The first thing I noticed was that the toe is more pointed than pictures portray. I prefer a rounder toe area. After wearing for a while the leather loosens up and you have a 1/2 size larger on your hands. The shoe slipping starts and you and to get a bandaid not your heel but the top of your foot by the toes! The back heel design is well done to avoid the heel rub but because they stretch when warmed up and worn there is slipping not the normal up and down on the heel, but back and forth on the top of the toe area. After wearing these shoes for a few hours, I went to a doctors appt., ran errands and shopping the bottom rubber sole is not wide enough for a soft leather ballet. You know those foam shoe inserts you can buy when your high heels are killing you? Well imagine walking around trying to keep a $50 rubber one of those inserts centered on the bottom of your foot when you walk so you do not walk on the leather. After getting home I asked my husband what he thought of my new shoes from Amazon. My husband looked at me funny and he said I thought they were old because we looked at shoes today and those shoes look like you've had them for years and they're all worn out that's why I didn't get upset about looking at shoes because you looked like you needed a pair. Lol too funny! He was so surprised these were the new shoes he had just given me from the mail, and then a little Ticked. I then saw what he and everyone else was seeing all day. Even though I was dressed nicely my new shoes appeared to from a dumpster. All the days dirt and dust just seems to cling and get into everywhere on these flats. I honestly didn't notice being 47 and with less than ideal vision, I just assumed the dullness was the leather not the dirt. They looked years old. I was Not Happy. I was wearing new shoes, there is NO reason they should look this worn after wearing one day.Bottom line- Do Not buy these shoes if you are planning to wear to the office or with any nicer style clothing. If you do be prepared to do a constant shoe check throughout the day and keep something damp around to wipe them off with. Jeans, sweats and your casual outfits that you would wear tennies or flip flops with would be perfect. Because like I said, after wearing them even in the house or office and you will will find dust and dirt sticking to the shoe making them look "dirty". For myself I was not happy, but again if you are wearing them as you would a pair of flip flops and could care less what people think of your shoes these are perfect. They are comfy for a short periods, but like I said once they warm up and you stand and walk in them they stretch and are about 1/2 size larger causing rub. Keep a small bandaid with you if you plan on wearing these without a nylon or Ped sock of some type. The inside of the shoe is a very light tan suede and if you wear this shoe even once without a socklet the inside is soiled and looks again like they are old and dirty. They did get the back of the shoe right, it does not rub or slip. Unfortunately they should never make the inside of ANY shoe tan suede. My advice-- Save your money, there is nothing "special" about these shoes I had a pair of $9.99 Target flats that were not leather but looked it that I loved and tried to replace them with a "better" quality pair I thought, by purchasing these Hush Puppies.Save your money, for the price you can buy two pairs of flats at your local department store and stop by Starbucks for a $10.00 latte and drive away with money in your pocket. But if money is no object and you want a pair if shoes to use as an everyday yard shoe, running around slip on quick go to the store, wear for an hour casual shoe these are your shoe.I wish I could have added a picture to this review so you could see what they look like after I wore them once. I personally was disappointed and surprised after I had read all of the rave reviews on this shoe. Well I actually wore and used these shoes and not for just slipping on and driving to pick up my kids from school. I wait to write my reviews until after I have had and used my purchases for at least a month or more. I have other Hush Puppies and love them. These are ok.

If you're thinking about ordering these flats, go ahead and do it! You'll love them!I ordered these shoes to wear for work. Nude flats are very in this spring/summer but every pair I tried on were way too tight, rubbed at my heal or were of poor quality. After seeing these flats online, I contemplated ordering them but wasn't sure. Then, I ran into a friend who was wearing them and gave them rave reviews.My friend was wearing the nude shade. In person, it was not what I has expected from seeing it online. I decided to order the gold instead of the nude because the nude shade was just a little off from the blush-style nude color I was hoping for. The gold is very subtle and a great neutral. Don't get me wrong - the nude is a nice color. It was just not what I was personally looking for.I was very excited because these shoes were offered in a variety of widths. I wear an 8.5 and am between wide and extra-wide in width. I have never owned a pair of shoes in the correct width. You heard me right... I am 37 and have never owned a pair of shoes in the correct width. I have a bit of a flat foot and have crammed my poor feet into medium widths for years because it's all that mainstream stores sell for the most part. On occasion, I am able to find a wide width, which is sometimes still too tight. So, I ordered an 8.5 extra wide.When they arrived, I felt like I was wearing bedroom slippers. Comfort abound, people. They are terrific because there is a nice insole with offers some arch support, which you don't often get with these ultra-flats that are currently in style. I commute 2-hours each way to my office in Washington, DC every day. That's 4 hours round trip, plus my 9 hour work day. I usually have to wear a comfortable pair of shoes into work and then change into my dress shoes when I get to my office. Not with these! Out of the box, they were super comfortable. They elastic around the foot doesn't rub or bother my foot. They have a nice rubberized sole with an extra "bump" of rubber under the heel and ball of the foot that absorb the shock of all the concrete jungle walking that I do. I can easily go 13 hours in these shoes and my feet don't even feel fatigued. Cannot say enough about them. I hope to order another pair in black soon.Like I said, if you're looking for a comfortable ultra flat that doesn't compromise comfort for style, look no more.

I bought these after looking at other reviews and I'm really glad I did. I wear business casual to work in a hospital, so I have the dilemma of finding comfortable women's dress shoes that I can wear all day. I got these as a more affordable alternative to Tieks and really like them.I definitely had to break them in, so if you hate them at first don't give up!! The trim needed time to stretch to my feet's shape and I put band-aids on my heels the first few times I wore them to avoid blisters. But after a few wears, they did break in and now I wear them all day with no problems. Obviously the arch support isn't AMAZING as they are ballet flats and there's only so much support you can fit into a small shoe, but they have much better support than my other dress shoes and flats. I have basically no arches in my feet and these shoes help a lot.The nude color is pretty pale, I'm pale as well and they're almost my skin color. I like the color, but if you're looking for a tan/beige/darker taupe color these are probably too light for you. They do absorb a little of the color from my dress pants at the heel, which wouldn't be much of a problem if they weren't such a light color.I read prior reviews saying they ran a little small and I agree. I usually wear a 9 medium/normal width and bought a 9.5 medium, which fit great. They don't pinch my toes at all.Overall, great shoe. Give them time to break in and I think you'll really love them. I will probably buy another pair!

The most comfortable and stylish shoes. After trying them out I bought another pair! They are great!

Really like these shoes. I bought them for travel and have worn them around the house but feel I need to break them in a bit as the elastic on the back of my heels hurts a bit. This happens with new shoes. I think they'll be fine after a few wears. Good quality shoe which I think will be ideal for travel and can be worn with skirts, dresses, pants, shorts and more.

They fit well but we’re a little boring.

Too wide

These are the most comfortable flats I've ever worn - very light weight, and soft, thin leather. Fits true to size. I can fit a size 7 or size 8 in most shoes, and the size 7.5 was perfect. The leather is very thin which makes the shoe comfortable, but at the same time makes the shoe not very durable. After just a few hours of light indoor wear, the leather around the heel is starting to scuff. I don't imagine they will hold up well for regular outdoor wear.
