Hush Puppies was founded in 1958, an era where uncomfortable dress shoes were your only choice of footwear – even on the weekends. Hush Puppies set out to find a solution for sore feet, otherwise known as “barking dogs.” Introducing the world to a new kind of footwear - shoes with casual style and an easy-going attitude made to relax in, Hush Puppies create shoes to help people hush their puppies. With over 17 million pairs of shoes sold every year in 150 countries around the world, Hush Puppies is a global brand, a household name, and a cultural icon.
