We asked ourselves what we wanted this company to stand for. We didn't want to just sell shoes. I wasn't even into shoes - but I was passionate about customer service.

I've got the best shoe guy in the business.

When I came out of college, shoe companies can identify marketable people, and I think I was identified as someone who could potentially move some units and merchandise.

My relationship with shoes has always been linked to shoes, women, women in their shoes and performance.

My girlfriend is a fashion designer. She has her own company called Rachel Antonoff. She is doing a collaboration with Urban Outfitters right now, a shoe collaboration with Bass. She sells to Barneys, stuff like that.

I buy women shoes and they use them to walk away from me.

I love to shop, especially in retro stores. I have about a million pairs of old-school sports shoes like Adidas, so that's probably my biggest vice.

I find it so unattractive when women wear sneakers with their business suits. I wear a nice pair of loafers or low-heeled pumps, and that's that.

I have so much fun because I love to meet the women who wear my shoes and meet the clients. That, to me, is the best part - getting to know the faces of the people who actually wear my shoes and getting to have a conversation with them.

I buy shoes sometimes and use them as bookends. They're too beautiful to wear.
