History
Founded in 1958 by Wolverine World Wide, Hush Puppies introduced the first casual shoe made from pigskin suede. The brand gained significant cultural traction during the 1960s as a comfortable alternative to formal footwear. In the mid-1990s, it experienced a notable resurgence in fashion circles, often cited as a primary example of a trend reaching a tipping point. Its history reflects the broader transition of Western dress codes from rigid formality to versatile, everyday wear.
