Hush Puppies Cares

Slave Lake, north of Edmonton has been devastated by wild fires, over one third of the town has been destroyed, including businesses and homes.  As a gesture of support to our partners at Appara Shoes, in partnership with Ronsons and the Western Canadian Shoe Association, Hush Puppies has donated over one hundred pairs of womens and kids shoes to this important cause.

Our Shoe Obsession

The truth is women love shoes. We probably have to thank Carrie Bradshaw for bringing shoe obsessions into the mainstream. But did you know there is a physiological link between shoes and an increase in adrenaline when we buy them? Martin Lindstrom, author of Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy explains that "dopamine increases until you begin to swipe a credit card..." Women "think of shoes as something that is practical, because it can be used several times a week. As a result, a sense of fun that last longer"


Shoes are wonderful and essentail, they effect how we stand and how we feel.  Lee Brown a Washington resident is a self proclaimed shoe addict. With more than 500 pairs, her husband had a Carrie Bradshaw inspired closet built.  "Shoes are objects of desire of who we want to be or who we aspire to be - even if it is just for that day.”  Lee Brown




This month Hush Puppies Canada will be giving away a free pair (this can add to your shoe obsessed collection) http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=hpskip#!/pages/Hush-Puppies-Canada/110117225736380 just let us know your favorite shoe/sandal from our spring collection.
 

JOSEPH SILVERMAN/THE WASHINGTON TIMES Lee Brown of Reston has a shoe or boot to match every mood and occasion. In fact, she has turned a small bedroom into a combination exercise room and display area for her more than 500 pairs.
