Hush Puppies. Famous iconic brand

The iconic brand Hush Puppies is one of the most interesting brands that is known in many countries and enjoys success among a wide variety of people there.

After all, Hush Puppies were the first to introduce casual shoes to the market (before that, old shoes, slippers or something else was usually used in everyday life, which did not meet the requirements of everyday necessity at all).

In general, Americans have taken good care of the everyday life of an ordinary man in the street. A vivid example of this is the well-known denim clothing or, for example, Ford cars, which turned a car from a luxury item into an ordinary means of transportation. But in shoes, Hush Puppies low shoes were the same amazing discovery.

It all started with the fact that the US government ordered a leather company, Wolveine, to come up with a way to finish pigskin, which was in abundance, and which had nowhere to go.

Wolveine owner Viktor Krause worked hard on the order and ended up with the now very famous suede. Well, after that I decided to make inexpensive, but strong shoes from suede. Just right for everyday life.

Even more surprising is the name given to Hush Puppies branded low shoes. The fact is that "Hush Puppies" means "barking dog." It was actually the name of the corn cakes that American farmers fed their dogs (dogs began to bark from hunger, and in order to somehow appease them, farmers fed them these very Hush Puppies). But the humor is that the expression "Hush Puppies" also means "tired legs" among Americans. Jim Newr, Victor Krause's manager, got this unusual name just from a farmer friend of his when he was visiting him. And the purpose of his trip was precisely the sale of unusual suede low shoes.

At first, Jim Newr laughed at his friend's suggestion, but then, on reflection, he decided that the name Hush Puppies was the best fit for branded low shoes.

Well, when people saw unusual low shoes made of suede on the shelves, they really liked these shoes (and not only for the price). And the strange name - Hush Puppies - is well remembered.

So it was thanks to the invention of Viktor Krause that low shoes made of suede entered our lives.

Now Hush Puppies branded shoes are sold in as many as 80 countries around the world (this is only official), and even eminent people such as Kevin Spacey or Nicolas Cage wear them with pleasure.

Well, the Hush Puppies brand itself has a special unique style and is associated with people primarily with casual, but very comfortable shoes.
