Off Broadway Shoes Showcases Barefoot Tess Line At Arundel Mills Mall

Sept. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Off Broadway Shoes is having a trunk show September 16th at their Arundel Mills Mall location in Hanover, MD.  They will be showcasing the Barefoot Tess Fall 2011 line, with various styles in women’s sizes 11-15 available for purchase and pre-order.  

Barefoot Tess produces shoes exclusively in women’s sizes 11-15, and has amassed a large following through their online customer base as well as through the WNBA.  The company's recent expansion into wholesaling their line to major retailers is a reflection of a growing demand in the industry.  The average woman's foot size at the turn of the century was size 5.  Now the average is size 9.  Once considered a niche business, the large-shoe market is now $300 million in the United States (based on the latest U.S. Census) and continues to grow.  The company estimates that the worldwide figure is closer to $1 billion.
The Barefoot Tess line will be available in 30 Off Broadway Shoes locations this fall.
