Product Information

What are Hush Puppies Shoes made from?

Our product materials vary depending on the style. All of our products have a “Materials & Details” section on the product page which lists all the materials used for that specific style.
Wherever leather is mentioned, this refers to cow hide leather.

I missed out on my size, when will it be back in stock?

Many of our styles are seasonal and only available for a limited time! Others of our classic full priced favourites will be restocked as needed. All of our currently in stock sizes and styles are available for purchase through our website.

The best way to keep up to date is to join as a VIP member with us to be notified when new styles are available.

What size am i? Do you have a size guide/conversion chart?

We sure do! On each product page you can click through to our size conversion chart.

Alternatively see our full size guide here.

How do I care for my new Hush Puppies shoes?

We know you want your favourite shoes to last for a long time, so here's some tips for taking care of them. Our Shoe Care range, available online and at Hush Puppies retail stores will keep your shoes in the best condition.

In general, we recommend the following guidelines (If you have specific questions please email us).

Protect - We suggest using our Rain and Stain repellent to protect your leather, Suede and Nubuck from dirt and moisture.

Cleaning - Use our Cleaner and Conditioner to prolong the life of smooth, oiled leather. On a regular basis, brush away any surface dirt with a soft brush. After extended, rugged use, wash with mild soap and warm water. Be sure to rinse all soap off as it is hydrophilic. Our Tough Spot Remover can be used if you accidently get ink on your shoes.

Drying - Open footwear fully, remove the insole and laces and dry at room temperature. Never expose to heat!

Conditioning - Recommended treatment depends on construction and materials of the footwear (most treatments do alter colour and appearance).

Restore - Our Oiled Leather Sponge or Cream Polish will bring the shine on your shoes up to its very best. If your suede or nubuck shoes need restoring, our Suede and Nubuck Block and Brush Kit will do the trick.

How should I store my shoes?

Shoes are made to be worn! Storing your shoes for an extended amount of time can result in a condition known as hydrolysis. Factors beyond our control, such as humidity, temperature and moisture can cause polyurethane soles to break down. This is not a condition that is exclusive to Hush Puppies, it affects a wide range of shoe brands.

If you do need to store them - make sure to wear/air out on a regular basis.

Exchanges, Returns and Refunds?

What is the returns policy for my Online order?

Hush Puppies is confident that you will be happy with your purchase. If for any reason this is not the case, we offer FREE RETURNS within 28 days of the order date. Hush Puppies will not take responsibility for returned items not received if registered post is not used. We have 4 conditions of return for change of mind, item(s) must be returned:

Please make sure that the item/s are within 28 days of purchase and that the shoes are unworn and unused with the original tags still attached - we are unable to accept shoes with dirty marks or damaged soles.

How long will it take for my refund to be processed?

Once your goods have been received by back at our warehouse, please allow up to 10 working days for your refund to be processed back to your original method of payment.

How will my refund work if I have paid with AfterPay or ZipPay?

Once a refund has been processed to your Afterpay/Zipay account, After Pay/Zip Pay will then contact you to confirm the refund amount depending on the amount of payments you have made. For example, if you have only paid 2 installments of your total order value, After Pay/Zip Pay will only refund the partial amount paid with them, and then cancel the remaining outstanding amount. This may mean that you would receive a partial refund of your total order value as only that amount was captured from your linked credit card up to the refund date.
