I bought these sandals with great expectations, after all, it is from Hush Puppies. To my great disappointment when I got them, they are the ugliest sandals I have ever seen. Not only do they look poorly made (What happened, Hush Puppies?), they came with a nick on the front toe side of the right shoe. This does not conform to Hush Puppies reputation, at least with me. This would have been my 4th Hush Puppies footwear. The rest of them I do love, no complaints, only compliments. Could this have been a reject, not having passed QA? If it is, then Hush Puppies need to take their name off it and continue selling high quality footwear. Having this kind on their product line destroys their reputation as a high-quality brand. Will I buy another Hush Puppies footwear again? I probably would BUT not as enthusiastically as before, rather, it will be with great reservation and suspicion, yes, suspicion, that these shoes might not be of great craftsmanship and should NOT have passed QA.
