Hush Puppies Men's Glen Oxford - Dark Brown, 12 M US Review

These black suede shoes are exactly as advertised, and exactly as I expected.Note that these are a pretty plain oxford. They are not the most stylish shoes in the world, but they look pretty much as the picture shows.They are very light weight. The sole looks to have reasonable thickness (so I am expecting reasonable length of wear). The tread gives a little better traction than I expected it might when first opening the box. Not that it's a grabber; but it's not subject to just completely slipping on a smooth floor and setting you on your tukus.The shoes are quite comfortable - more comfortable than average. The insoles are soft and seem to conform to the shape of my foot pretty well. The uppers are roomy without feeling loose. Hush Puppies tend to be narrower than other shoes; but these are not. The width is just right (I bought the 2E width).So far, I have nothing bad to say about these shoes (which might be a little unusual for me. I can pick on almost anything!). They are comfortable, fit even better than I half-way expected, and look like the pic; so I have no reason to give them other than five starts.I'll see how they wear and how they look after a bit of wear. If I have time, I will try to update my review then.

These shoes changed my life. I've since purchased countless numbers of these Hush Puppies Men's Glen Oxford,Black,11 W US. I've been wearing these since 2009, when I was working at the airport. During my first working day, at my second airport assignment, I was wearing a nice looking pear of dress shoes. I was on my feet all day and in terrible pain. My feet hurt so bad after a full day of work. An elderly co-worker (I was in my twenties at the time) told me to try Hush Puppies shoes. I left work with my feet in so much pain that I walked in my socks. I went to a Hush Puppies store in the mall near the airport and met up with an extremely attractive Latina. She had me stand on a machine that tested my feet. She then showed me the shoes that the machine recommended including these. I've been wearing them everyday since. I no longer work at an airport but I still walk quite a bit at work. These dress shoes / dress causal shoes are the perfect balance of dressy, comfortable and casual.My only complaints are that they are normally priced quite high at $95.00 and also the insole seems to have a short life due to my heavy daily use. I usually buy new pairs and donate my old pair to charity every 3-4 months. I usually buy multiple pairs when I can find them on sale somewhere with a coupon. The best price I've ever gotten is around $50 + Tax, when lucky. I have other Hush Puppies Shoes, but this is by far my favorite when it comes to comfort. I hope they make this shoe forever, because the day they stop manufacturing them should be decades after I die. I plan to buy these for life!!!

Before I go into the details of my experience, let me say that these appear to be very well-made, sturdy shoes. They probably won't win any style contest, but they show a good attention to detail and excellent construction.I can't remember the last time I had a pair of shoes that required breaking in. I don't know yet if that is good or bad. The size is exactly what I expected from a 10.5 (I have had some brands that were smaller or larger than the stated size would lead you to believe). I've worn these shoes once. They feel very stiff, like a good pair of hiking boots do. I think it must have a solid shank in the sole, which is a good thing. I noticed that once in a while I would catch the toe of the shoe on a stair as I was walking upstairs at the office. I don't think the stiffness is going to go away with use, but time will tell on that.Also, the tongue of the shoe is very stiff also, and I felt some pain where the top of the tongue of the right shoe hit my foot. That's where the breaking in will probably help. It kind of reminds me of my old Army boots. Terrible the first week, then they molded to my foot and were so comfortable that I seriously considered wearing them at my wedding. I'm sure you can guess who vetoed that idea.The one thing I hadn't thought of when I ordered these shoes was that the large, plain-leather toe is just inviting scuffs. When you drive, the side of your foot will hit the brake pedal on occasion, and many other times, you'll hit something with the toe of the shoe. So I am betting that these shoes will require polish on a frequent basis.But they are (currently) nice looking, very comfortable (other than the tongue rubbing my foot on one of them). I awarded 4 out of 5 stars because of the unknown of how they will break in, but will try to remember to update this review when I find that out.And one more thing: I paid around $55 for these, so they are a great bargain at that price. My usual brand, Propet, are a little more than that and give excellent value for the money, so I wanted to try these to see how they compare. More on that comparison when I do an update.

This is a well constructed shoe, that is also remarkably light in weight. As noted by most, it runs true to size, albeit the width in the front is more 2E than 3E, in re: the size EW (which generally corresponds to 3E). I first tried the shoes in my home and they were fine. Next was a full day field test, including a 2 hour stint teaching in the evening. Never thought about the shoes at all -- this is a very good thing. Finally I note that the variety purchased, Black Suede is quite attractive. Having recommended them to two friends whilst they were on sale I can report that they are also pleased with construction and comfort. As always, shoe comfort is ultimately an individual matter, and Amazon's policy of free return shipping makes this a risk free transaction.

My son needed plain, black shoes for school (his school requires school uniforms) and these shoes were perfect! My son tells me the shoes are comfortable and roomy (he has wide feet and he always struggles to find wide, comfortable shoes) and he likes them very much. Shipping was fast and the order was accurate. Shoe Bank was the seller, and they were great! I definitely would buy from Shoe Bank again. Highly recommend the shoes and the Shoe Bank seller. A+!
