about Hush Puppies
An American Legend
In 1958 Hush Puppies created the world’s first casual shoe,
signaling the beginning of today‘s relaxed style.
By utilizing supple
suede in combination with lightweight crepe soles, Hush Puppies created
a soft, breathable and very comfortable shoe—an innovation that would ultimately
change the kind of shoes we wear. In an era when footwear choices were limited,
Hush Puppies provided the world with a new alternative. A modern shoe embraced
for its authentic style and casual flair.
Since the beginning, the
beloved basset hound has embodied the easygoing nature that is Hush
Puppies. Introduced during a time of new freedoms and changing lifestyles, our
brand name and mascot quickly became symbolic of the emerging optimism of
mid-century America.
Relaxed and classic in design, Hush Puppies
has always defined what it means to be modern and casual. Today, Hush Puppies
continues to innovate, bringing technical excellence and genuine style to
over 120 countries.
A revolutionary idea—born fifty years
ago—continues to inspire us today.
