Have worn Hush Puppies - in style and out - since they first appeared.  Look the same but now that they are being made in China (what a surprise) they just do not seem as comfortable.  Ah, well...what can you do?  They are still quite comfortable but require a bit longer break-in than they used to.  Once comfy, they look great with jeans and are still durable and weather-resistant.  Again, sad to see an American "icon" shipped overseas, but we've been doing it for four decades now.
