Breathability

Moreover, there are meant to be worn without socks, and despite the hot and humid weather, many women experienced no issues with overheating and bad odor. This classic style ballerina flat is easy to slip on and off, further adding to the all-day comfort.
Colorways
It’s versatile, and women who love variety will be surprised to hear that this style comes available in over 24 different colors and patterns. Some of them include cognac, pale peach leather, floral print, vintage indigo, tan brocade, dusty green color that according to some reviewers looks like it is gray, then leopard print, black leather, dark olive suede and many other fun designs that will undoubtedly find their way in someone's closet. The Chaste flat is adorable, and if you find it comfortable and supportive enough to run your errands with, or hang out with friends, then you may end up multiplying them in different colors and designs.
Comfortability
What most wearers loved about these flats is that the insoles are well cushioned, especially in the arch area. While the design offers a great feeling of comfort, they lack in support. However, many women agreed that although they may not be ultra-supportive, they love them for many other reasons. For instance, they conform to the foot, the suede leather sock lining is perforated, the leather will stretch over time, the rubber outsole is flexible, and it’s an easy slip-on design. What else could you want or need from a flat shoe?
Fit
The great thing about this ballet flat is that it comes in whole and half sizes, from 6-12 (except size 10 ½ and size 11 ½) and it is available in all four widths. This makes them even more appealing since, besides the comfort, the variety in colors and the relatively decent arch support, they fit many different shapes and sizes of feet.

Quality
Some of the models that are better-made have a lining that is stitched to the bottom, unlike others where the leather is glued to the sole. On the one hand, the glued down versions don’t last long, and many were unhappy with this situation. On the other hand, the leather upper and suede/leather lining seems to be of good quality and long lasting. According to many, the flats look like new even after they have been worn for a long time.
Support
For women with bunions who have a hard time finding a shoe that doesn’t give them the look of clown feet, this flat turns out to be a great choice. They look cute, there is no doubt in that! These customers claimed that when wearing these flats, the foot pain associated with a lack of support was not present. Even women who have plantar fasciitis and tend to overpronate stated that this model was perfect for them regarding decent arch support and stability.
Weight
Bottom Line
There is nothing like cushioned and super comfortable flat shoes for when your feet need a break. This may be a great choice for those who commute to work daily or for those who spend their day running around with their kids. Featuring a ZeroG Technology, the almost weightless outsole helps you take each step with ease while providing good traction and durability. In addition, the HPO2Flex Technology keeps your feet ventilated, supported and helps the footbed conform to the natural movement of your foot.
Being a flat shoe we don’t really expect much support, but according to many, the Hush Puppies Chaste model have more support than other flats out there. Dressed in leather and wrapped in a leather sock liner, this cute, feminine design comes available in over 24 patterns and colors for every style and personality. It is reported to run true to size and width, and they don’t show any toe cleavage, which for many is a great bonus. They are a little bit more expensive than other flats on the market, but they are not the most expensive ones either. Many women agreed that they are worth the price, while some were unhappy with recent purchases when compared to the quality of the previous pairs they owned. Every woman needs flat shoes, even for no reason at all, and if you don’t own any by now, you may consider starting with a pair of Hush Puppies Chaste flats.
