About Hush Puppies®
Founded in 1958, Hush Puppies® created America’s first casual shoe, signaling the beginning of today’s relaxed style. Since the beginning, the beloved Basset Hound has embodied the easy-going nature that is Hush Puppies®. The loveable mascot quickly became synonymous with the brand that will kick off its 50th birthday January 1, 2008, celebrating “50 years of Casual Style” with a year-long, global celebration.
