Hush Puppies

Woman's Realm: 11th March 1967

"Breathing brushed pigskin", now that's a phrase that I've NEVER seen used to sell shoes! I love the bassett hound in this photo, and it's a nice example of period footwear, for the fashionistas amongst you.

I used to love Hush Puppies when I was little. They were very comfy and actually did smell nice :) (well before they were worn lol).

When these shoes got wet, the dye used to come off onto the heels of my (white) knee socks. Living in Salford, this meant I spent the summer of 1967 with brown heels. Not a good look.

Ah, that's why they didn't bother making any promises about the dye staying on the shoes, then! Thanks :)
