My experience with this shoes is mixed.  I have good experiences from the past wearing this brand. These shoes are normally comfortable and durable, good quality leather and good fit. The sole was made of a non-slippery material. But now, after ordering new Hush Puppies Men's Belfast MT Oxford shoes I am not sure that all of the above is true anymore. The shoes are made in Pakistan, Cambodia and ..other (unknown) places. Nothing wrong with that, but I see the quality of this shoes is also impacted. The leather is not (100%) what it use to be. Now, the leather feels foamy, is more like the leather is manufactured using a thin layer of authentic leather combined with some kind of synthetic material to add thickness. The size is also an issue here.  I needed to reorder a larger and wider size  in order to get a good fit. First, I ordered size 8W and fitted tight. Then I reordered 10W, still tight on the sides. I removed the insert included with the shoes for a more comfortable fit, but still it is not a perfect fit. The sole on these shoes is soft and may be OK, but I don't know at this time.  Lucky, I can return it at no cost (within 30 days of purchase), since it sells as a Prime with Free Shipping for Prime Members & FREE Returns. These shoes are still a good choice for comfort, that's why I think it's OK. Not the elegant, shiny type though, but the casual comfortable walking shoes.  Disclosure: I don't get paid for writing my reviews. This is my honest and sincere opinion, so please don't take it as the word of an expert shoe reviewer.  I am just a guy who wants to get good quality products for what I pay for, with hard earned $. So there you have it. Good luck.
