Hush Puppies are the heart of American casual. First introduced in 1958 when a shoe salesman passed through Tennessee and was fed a delicious meal of catfish and hushpuppies. When the salesman asked how hushpuppies got their strange name, he was told it came from soldiers who tossed deep fried cornmeal to their barking dogs to quiet them down, or "Hush, puppies."
At the time "barking dogs" was another way to say aching feet. Since hushpuppies were seen as the way to cure your dogs from barking, the salesman's new line of soft suede shoes got their name. Today Hush Puppies apply their philosophy of fun, comfortable and genuine style to every shoe they make - from work to weekend. An American legend, Hush Puppies created the modern dress/casual style. As soft and as comfortable as ever, Hush Puppies are still the cure for your "barking dogs." With many different styles to choose from, enjoy our selection of Hush Puppies shoes.
These shoes are practical for walking and the heel height is great for this purpose. They look smart too, not trendy, just comfortable walking shoes. Knocking around shoes that look good.
These are the most comfortable shoes I've bought for years. From day one they have worn well, and been appropriate for everything from around town and to work as well as travel. If I could make the heal height about 1/2 inch taller they would be perfect for special occasions as well.
