Boots at Macy's on 34th Street in NYC
“The Girls” may not be steppin’ out for sixteen-dollar Cosmos quite so often nowadays, but that doesn’t mean that they’re doing without new shoes. Heavens no! Among the reasons cited by retailers is that shoppers consider shoes a necessity, instead of an indulgence, and that “…the cost-per-wear of a pair of shoes is far lower than that of a dress or suit.” The New York Times Nov. 5, 2009
QVC’s annual breast-cancer fundraiser, sponsored by the Fashion Footwear Association of New York, starts next Wednesday, but the company is already benefitting from the free media exposure. You know the drill: thousands of pairs of shoes, half the retail price, big designers and more than $28 million donated to breast cancer research over the past 14 years. Hats off! Here are a couple of clippings. Hartford Courant (CT) Oct. 9, 2008 Macon Telegraph (GA) Oct. 7, 2008
