We’re 90 Years Old.
Through a combination of dedication, innovation, and vision we have grown to be a leader in casual footwear. As a heritage brand, our quality and attention to detail remains the same. Being born and raised here on the islands gives us a direct connection to the people, culture, and lifestyle that Hawaii has to offer. It is our purpose to produce the best Hawaiian inspired slippahs (as they are called in Hawaii) and spread the Aloha spirit to the world.
A Truly Hawaiian Original
Four generations of shoemakers build the backbone of the Scott Hawaii legacy. Through a combination of dedication, innovation and vision we have grown to be the leader in local footwear. Even after 80 years in business our quality and attention to detail remains the same as the day we opened our doors.
