Hush Puppies Shoes and Footwear

Hush puppies were conceived in 1958, and soon became a cult American shoe brand. Famed for radically revolutionising contemporary casual footwear, they bounded onto the market when US tannery company Wolverine crafted a classic suede Oxford shoe, fashioned from a native American leather. Hush Puppies owes its name to a colloquialism used after a Wolverine employee observed that his friends barking dogs were instantly silenced when fried cornmeal balls (also known as hush puppies) were thrown at them!!! At the same time, sore feet were also commonly known as 'barking dogs' thus 'Hush Puppies' was the new name given to the Wolverine shoe. Launched in the UK soon after they instantaly became a high street favourite, offering both comfort and style. Now entering their 50^th year Hush Puppies latest collection offers an exciting range of sandles, heals and boots.
