Barefoot Tess Stands Tall With Carolyn Peck

Dec. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- The Baltimore-based company markets fashion shoes and boots for women who wear size 10 or larger (www.BarefootTess.com).  Its tag line is, “Because style doesn’t stop at size 10.”

Peck, who as head coach led Purdue to the 1999 NCAA women’s basketball championship, currently appears on-air for ESPN as a leading women’s basketball game and in-studio analyst.  At 6’ 4” tall and with a flair for style, Peck will be featured on Barefoot Tess’ website and make appearances on behalf of the company.

“I’m thrilled to endorse Barefoot Tess,” Peck said.  “When your shoe size is larger than average, it’s challenging to find beautiful footwear.  Barefoot Tess offers a wide selection, and I can shop with ease from my laptop, even when I’m on the road.”

Karen Williamson, founder and president of Barefoot Tess, stated, “We are very excited to have someone of Carolyn’s stature as our spokesperson.  She combines integrity with a superb sense of style.  We’re looking forward to a winning partnership with Carolyn as our brand ambassador.”

Peck was signed to a three-year deal.
