I bought these shoes for my father who has eczema on his feet which makes it difficult for him to walk. I was looking for shoes that he could wear to semi-formal, formal occasions without sacrificing comfort. And this Hush puppy shoe really is that shoe! He loved it from the minute he put it on and the more times he uses it the happier he is. There's just one small problem: this shoe seems long to him, but it's nothing a pair of socks can't handle. If, like me, you are looking for a combination of comfort and style, these are the shoes for you. To you.
