Received mine today and wanted to chime in on the sizing of these Pups. I read allot of post in regards that this model runs small in size and to order a larger size. I'm not making judgment but wanted to throw out some comparisons in sizing, compared to what I received anyways, hopefully it will help, I know it's tough ordering if you don't know a brand and for me I haven't worn Hush-Pup's since I was a little tyke, Hehe

OK, for brand comparison, I wear size 12 in New Balance, Adidas and even Nike running shoes, size 11 to 11  in CLARKS, size 11  to 12 in all Keen model shoes, and for the most part size 12 in Cushe shoe manufacturer, 11 - 11  in Nunn Bush. I have other assorted models from other manufacturers, but the manufacturers listed above I have multitudes of models from each manufacturer as I favor them and the sizes are fairly solid in what I wear in those manufacturers, for the most part anyways.

OK, considering the wide array of post here I ordered a size 12 in the Hush Puppy model: Hang Out Chukka Boot. Well believe it or not a size 11  would have sufficed better. The size 12 is a little bit too roomy for me and a size 11  I think would have been about right. Although they are a little big they are not to out of spectrum and will be able to comfortably wear them with some hefty socks or so and are rather a nice shoe form structure on this model, in which I suspected and thus why I wanted them. Hopefully the size comparisons I have made may help a few out there, as I have plenty of models to compare, in those brands anyway and hopefully will help if anybody else wears those brands and can criss/cross the sizing a bit to come close.

The Hang Out Chukka is indeed about what I thought and basically what it appears to be. Nice wide mid-foot, rounded roomy toe area, low instep and slightly narrow arch area and a narrow to medium heel cup area, Phew, that's one I worry about as I have an extremely narrow heel, but they worked great in this area and no heel slide once so ever, pretty nice all the way around. The leather seems of good quality and don't see any manufacturer flaw in the workmanship and thus should have good longevity, for anybody seeking that attribute. The insole is adequate, I've seen better, I've also seen allot worse, not allot of arch support but the insole appears to be fairly thick and detect no overriding issues or anything where something is digging in here or there like some shoe models and work rather well. The bottom sole is pretty much what others have stated, it's not a cushy type sole but yet not like the older dress style shoes of the past and falls in about the middle range I'd say..

Overall a good shoe IMO and it's kind of nice having Hush Puppies again after many decades and overall fit for my particular foot format and are pretty much what I thought they would be as far as shape format goes and the overall material a little better than what I thought, factory quality control seems pretty meticulous as well on the overall craftsmanship, combined with a great shape formatted fit, I'm gonna give this one a five star I think. Hope my sizing comparison helps a few out there anyways. Enjoy all... 5 Star on these Pups!
