Lovely footwear but I find them very narrow towards the toe. On an open toe sandal there is not quite enough room for my little toe !

Written by the company

Hush Puppies was established in 1958, during a time when uncomfortable dress shoes were the only footwear option, even during leisure time. The brand's mission was to revolutionize the concept of casual footwear and provide relief for sore feet, affectionately referred to as "barking dogs." This marked the beginning of a new era in casual footwear, focusing on comfort and a more relaxed lifestyle. Hush Puppies has always been committed to innovation, and this commitment continues today with the development of the Bounce Technology platform, which sets new standards for comfort and support. The brand's early innovations included the introduction of colourful rainbow suedes, offering a fresh and expressive approach to footwear. Over the years, Hush Puppies has continued to explore a wide range of colours and patterns to bring joy and individuality to footwear. Their belief in the transformative power of colour remains unwavering, as they strive to brighten any day with a pop of vibrant hues. In addition to their dedication to comfort, Hush Puppies offers an extensive range of footwear, including flat shoes for women, trainers and loafers for both men and women, featuring unconventional and bold colours alongside classic neutrals. While the timeless men's oxfords remain a staple, the Hush Puppies men's loafers and trainers have gained popularity for their style and comfort. And last but by no means least at Hush Puppies you can see a great range of kid’s school shoes combining fashion and functionality to fit every taste. For those seeking a blend of comfort and style, HushPuppies.co.uk presents a diverse collection of Men’s & Women’s trainers, loafers, and boots for the cooler seasons. It's an invitation to discover a world where comfort meets individuality and where every step is a joyful expression of personal style.

Would be less than 1 star if it were available. Who has a returns policy these days were the customer has to pay to send back an item.
My return was ignored for over a month and I had to chase several times just to get my refund. It felt like the customer service rep (Sap) was messing me about on purpose. Really poor customer service and the last time I will order anything from Hush Puppies. Finally resolved by a nice lady who apologised for the delay. Too late tho

Thank you for your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with our returns process. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to not only cover the cost of the return but also to feel let down by delays and communication issues.

While we do state on our website that we do not currently offer free returns on orders that you’d like to return, we do aim to process all returns within 14 days of receipt. It’s clear we fell short in your case, and for that, we apologise. This is not the standard of service we strive to provide.

We are glad to hear one of our team members was able to resolve the issue and apologise for the delay, but understand this came too late to restore your confidence in us.

Unfortunately wrong size shoe was sent

Unfortunately wrong size shoe was sent, the box had the right size, but the shoes were a different and wrong size. I had to email before I can return, No reply from the email I sent which is now overdue, will have to send another.

Unsatisfied customer

Impressed with the fast delivery, very unimpressed with the returns policy. Ordered the wrong size boots, returned them at my own cost, to exchange for another size. Tracked after a week of hearing nothing to see that the return had been received. Emailed to ask how long before they were refunded as wanted to order another pair (they were £109). Sent email to ask and told that returns can take up to 14 days to be processed, once processed it can take 5-7 working days for the refund to show on your bank statement due to the bank's processes!! Very disappointed in the customer service & communication.

As you say and as stated on our website, refunds are processed within 14 days of receiving the returned item(s) and in this case we were able to authorise your refund within the stated timeframe.

Hush Puppies are the best shoes I have ever worn.
I'm a big heavy guy with size 15 feet.
I have many pairs of shoes (including Barkers).
But when it comes to comfort nothing compares with Hush Puppy.
They are durable too.
Even my 86 year old Dad has started wearing them and says they are the best shoes he's ever worn.

Poor quality shoes

A pair of shoes got damaged after wearing them for a month, consumer services refused any sort of refund due to "wear and tear". Never buying from them again.

Major fitting problem

I cannot believe that a company like Hush Puppies can invent a trainer that is almost impossible to put on. The tongue is all part of the shoe, so its basically a slip on that is too tight for your foot.

Black Friday deals a con

Black Friday deals a con. Boots in stock then out of stock and wouldn’t let me add to basket. After Friday back in stock full price again. Sent email on Friday 72 hour turnaround hence no reply yet and after speaking to custsrrvices totally unsympathetic and told you have to pay full price. Poor retail experience

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us. We’re very sorry to hear about your recent experience and understand how frustrating it must have been.

Our Black Friday deals are extremely popular, and while we do our best to keep items available, stock levels can fluctuate quickly due to high demand. We also regularly update our stock and pricing, which is why some items may come back in stock at full price after the promotion ends.

Well know problem with the soles

I purchased a pair of black hush puppies Dress shoes they have hardly been worn
I was tidying my wardrobe out the other day and noticed that the soles had totally disintegrated
I thought about contacting customer services but after reading lots reviews of people with the exact same problem I came to the decision that it was pointless as not one of the reviews I read did anyone resolve anything with customer services
AVOID!!!!

Badly scuffed even with protective spray!

Bought school shoes for both my children and both have scuffed very badly even with the protective spray added.
I wanted to try this brand as I expected them to be good quality but they were cheaper than the brand I usually buy from.
They are so scuffed I’ve had to replace both of them not even two months into the school year. So disappointed.

Nostalgic boots !

Great boots. Unusual colour which attracted me. Haven’t had Hush Puppies since the ‘80’s but like the comfort level. Will look out for other pairs in future as they are good value.
