Today, Hush Puppies continue to innovate, bringing the comfort experience into lives of households around the world as well as ensuring technical excellence and genuine style.
In 1958 Hush Puppies created the world’s first casual shoe, signaling the beginning of today‘s relaxed style.
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.
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.
