RACK ROOM SHOES
Various locations
The ratio of shoes in a man's closet to that of a woman's is approximately 1 to 100,000. It's kind of scary really. But if you suddenly find yourself homeless, you can always construct a makeshift hut out of your wife's Filas.
She must have gotten all that footwear at Rack Room Shoes. Since its birth in 1920 in North Carolina, Rack Room has been selling comfortable shoes at affordable prices. Now with more than 300 stores in 20 states, Rack Room has a vast selection of shoes for feet of all ages, shapes and sizes. And no matter what activity you're interested in, be it athletics, hiking, or sheer comfort, Rack Room can fit you with shoes to match.
It's not an easy feat, but someone's got to do it.
