Cat’s Paw was founded in Baltimore, MD as Cat’s Paw Rubber Co. in 1904.
Please note, these items have not been in production for more than 50 years as the brand was bought by rubber company Biltrite in the 1960s, who was subsequently swallowed by Vibram, who slowly phased out the brand.
Amelia Earhart supposedly died wearing a pair of Cat’s Paw-heeled loafers which catapulted the cult status of the rubber heel and sole manufacturer.
Famed German graphic designer Lucian Bernhard (father of the Bernhard font) designed the logo in 1941. The swiping cat on the bright red box sums up everything we’d like to imagine about post-war American quaintness.
