I often have worn Hush Puppie Angel II pumps, but this time decided to try something new, as I had travelled to a wedding and forgotten my shoes.  Because of the remoteness of where I was, shopping retail was out of the question, but I did have several days before the wedding, so there was time to order something online.  It was a bit of a shot in the dark, but I am pleased with these pumps.  I wasn't sure if I would like the design, as opposed to the smooth leather finish of the Angels, but these looked good with the dress that I wore.  The shoes tend to run a little bit narrower than the Angels, and the leather is fairly stiff initially (I wish I had had longer time to break them in before the wedding, but now after having worn them several times, they have become quite comfortable).  They don't show scuff marks like the Angels did, and that is nice.  All in all, a nice shoe for a very good price.
