Scott Hawaii had its start in 1932 after founders Elmer and Jean Scott moved from Marblehead, MA. to the Territory of Hawaii. Coming from a long lineage of shoemakers, it didn't take them long to establish a reputation within their new community as manufacturers of quality footwear. Their specialty was plantation boots for the sugarcane and pineapple field workers who were so prevalent back in the day. With the introduction of World War II, materials came in short supply and businesses servicing the United States military were given priority access to these materials. To meet these new conditions, Scott Hawaii changed direction and began focusing on casual footwear, which it sold to the military exchanges. The "slipper" was born. 

Scott Hawaii was founded on the principles, dedication and vision it takes to drive a couple almost 6000 miles away (during a time of trains and steamships) to an unfamiliar land to start a business. Now in its third generation, these principles are still in place today. Although the styling has come a long way, the quality and attention to detail are still the same. We hope you appreciate our footwear as much as we do our story and this place we call home, Hawaii.
