History of Hush Puppies Shoes

In 1958, the world became a little more relaxed as Hush Puppies created the first casual shoe. Designed for young American families who were shifting from a culture of conservative uniformity to a comfortable, casual way of life, this soft, breathable and comfortable footwear invited the world to break the rules, kick back a little, and enjoy.Today, the world continues to move faster, get busier and grow louder. But Hush Puppies reminds us that we are all free to be casual...and invites us to relax.

Becoming a Legend.

The origins of the Hush Puppies name are decidedly low-tech. A company sales manager sat with a friend for a dinner of catfish and deep fried corn fritters called “hush puppys.” Intrigued by the name, the salesman discovered that farmers also used these hush puppys to quiet barking dogs. At the time, tired feet were known as “barking dogs” and the salesman reasoned that his soft, lightweight comfortable shoes could quiet them, too. The rest is history.

Love at First Sight.

Hush Puppies were introduced to the industry at the National Shoe Fair in Chicago in October 1957. Reaction was immediate and overwhelming. Retailers flocked to the booth, intrigued by the casual lifestyle positioning, innovative styling, brushed suede uppers and lightweight crepe soles. By mid-1959 the company had produced its first million pairs and by 1963 one-in-ten adults in the United States owned a pair of Hush Puppies.
