</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We were founded in 1878 and are one of the leading footwear retailers and wholesalers in the

fiscal year 2010 were $2.5&nbsp;billion. In fiscal year 2010, we sold over 90&nbsp;million pairs of footwear.
At the end of fiscal year 2010, we operated over 1,369 retail stores in the U.S., Canada, China and

market footwear to over 2,000 retailers primarily in the U.S. and Canada as well as approximately

and their families. These stores average approximately 7,000 square feet and generated sales
per square foot of $187 in fiscal year 2010, reflecting a same store sales increase of 10.5%
versus fiscal 2009.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Famous Footwear stores feature a wide selection of value-priced brand-name, athletic,

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;According to NPD Group, we were the second largest women&#146;s fashion wholesaler in the U.S.

brand of women&#146;s shoes. These stores are designed and merchandised to appeal to the Naturalizer
customer, who is style-and comfort-conscious and who seeks quality and value in her footwear
selections. The Naturalizer stores offer a selection of women&#146;s footwear styles, including

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Complementary Retail-Wholesale Platform. </I>We believe that our complementary
retail-wholesale platform allows us to capture a significant market share of the footwear
industry. Through this platform, we gain key consumer insights by working with our vendors,
customers and industry partners. Our Famous Footwear stores offer branded value-priced
athletic, casual and dress footwear for the entire family. Famous Footwear sells various
Company-owned and licensed products which are sold to Famous Footwear by our Wholesale
Operations segment at a profit and represent approximately 15% of Famous Footwear net sales of
footwear. Our Naturalizer retail stores provide us with a dedicated channel to showcase our
popular Naturalizer brand of women&#146;s footwear. Our Via Spiga and Sam Edelman retail stores
allow us to showcase the Via Spiga and Sam Edelman brands, respectively. In our Wholesale
Operations segment, we design, source and market branded and private label women&#146;s, men&#146;s and
children&#146;s footwear across a wide range of styles and price points to over 2,000 retailers,
including national chains, department stores, mass merchandisers, independent retailers,
catalogs and online retailers throughout the United States and Canada as well as approximately
50 other countries. We believe the insights into consumer trends that we gain at our Famous
Footwear and specialty retail stores allow us to adjust both our retail and wholesale product
offerings to address these trends. We believe that our complementary and flexible
retail-wholesale platform is well-positioned to respond to and benefit from changing consumer
trends in the footwear industry.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Portfolio of Established Brands in Key Consumer Focus Areas. </I>We have built a portfolio of
well-known footwear brands with broad consumer appeal, and we are focusing our efforts on three
broad consumer trends that we believe provide long-term opportunities for growth: Family,
Healthy Living and Contemporary Fashion. Our brands are targeted to specific customer segments
representing different styles and taste levels in these three key areas and we continue to
evolve our portfolio of brands to meet the demands of our customers. Famous Footwear is a
leading family branded footwear retailer whose primary target customers are active,
contemporary moms who seek brands and the latest styles at a value for themselves and their
families. Naturalizer, Dr.&nbsp;Scholl&#146;s and our recently acquired athletic and outdoor footwear
brands (Avia, ryk&#228; and AND 1) provide customers with comfort, health and wellness and
performance footwear. Our contemporary fashion brands, including Sam Edelman, Franco Sarto, Via
Spiga, and Vera Wang Lavender provide stylish and sophisticated footwear to consumers.

include national chains, department stores, mass merchandisers, independent retailers, catalogs
and online retailers. According to NPD Group&#146;s Point of Sale Tracking Service, we ranked number
two in terms of dollar sales of women&#146;s fashion footwear sold through department stores,
national chains, national shoe chains, and athletic specialty stores for the calendar year
2010. We have earned a strong reputation among our customers by consistently providing them

athletic footwear to comfort and fitness offerings, to better position us to meet consumer
demand for products that support active and healthy lifestyles. ASG company sales ranked
seventh in the U.S. performance athletic footwear market for the calendar year 2010, according
to NPD Group&#146;s Point of Sale Tracking Service. We believe that our strong and long-standing
consumer connections will be an important component of our future success.

with product previews, earned incentives based upon purchase continuity, and other periodic
promotional offers. In 2010, more than half of our Famous Footwear net sales were generated by
our Rewards members. Additionally, continued focus on social media is building a stronger
connection with our customers, allowing us to both listen to and communicate with our core
market. We will continue to seek to expand ways for customers to connect to our brands (beyond
email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and proprietary mobile applications) to drive our fans from
the digital world into profitable and loyal customers in our multi-channel selling
environments.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Global Design and Sourcing Expertise. </I>We believe that one of the key contributors to our
success is our global design and sourcing expertise. We maintain design teams for our brands in
St. Louis, Missouri, New York and China as well as other select fashion locations, including
Italy. We have sourcing and product development offices in China, Hong Kong, Italy, Macau, New
York City and St. Louis and through an agent partnership in Brazil and Central America. We
source product through a global network of third-party independent footwear manufacturers
operating approximately 100 manufacturing facilities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We attribute our ability to achieve consistent quality, competitive prices and on-time
delivery to the breadth of our established relationships. Additionally, in our Dongguan, China,
and our Putien, China, offices, we operate a total of four sample-making facilities with unique
and diverse capabilities, including footwear for women, men and children, providing speed,
control and execution in product development. We believe we are able to source footwear at
various price levels throughout the world and shift sourcing to alternative countries, over
time, based upon trade conditions, economic advantages, production capabilities and other
factors.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;11, 2011, we issued $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7&#8539;% Senior Notes due
2019, the original notes to which the exchange offer applies, to a group of initial purchasers in
reliance on exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of
the Securities Act and applicable securities laws. In connection with the sale of the original
notes to the initial purchasers, we entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which
we agreed, among other things, to deliver this prospectus to you, to commence this exchange offer
and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer within 180&nbsp;days of
the issuance of the original notes. The summary below describes the principal terms and conditions
of the exchange offer. Some of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important
limitations and exceptions. See &#147;The Exchange Offer&#148; for a more detailed description of the terms
and conditions of the exchange offer and &#147;Description of the Exchange Notes&#148; for a more detailed
description of the terms of the exchange notes.

stores that have been open at least 13&nbsp;months. This method avoids the
distorting effect that grand opening sales have in the first month of
operation. Relocated stores are treated as new stores. Closed stores
are excluded from the calculation. Same store sales is not a measure
of financial performance under GAAP. Same store sales is not
calculated in the same manner by all companies and accordingly is not
necessarily comparable to similarly entitled measures of other
companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance
relative to other companies.</TD>

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth our summary unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial data, giving effect to the acquisition of ASG as if it had occurred on the dates
indicated below and after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments. The summary unaudited pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended January&nbsp;29, 2011 has
been derived from the audited statement of earnings for our fiscal year 2010 and ASG&#146;s audited
statement of income for ASG&#146;s fiscal year 2010 and gives effect to the consummation of the
acquisition as if it occurred on January&nbsp;31, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
balance sheet as of January&nbsp;29, 2011 has been derived from our audited balance sheet as of January
29, 2011 and ASG&#146;s audited balance sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2010, adjusted to give effect to the
acquisition as if it occurred on January&nbsp;29, 2011. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of earnings for the fiscal quarter ended April&nbsp;30, 2011 has been derived
from the unaudited statement of earnings for our first quarter 2011 and ASG&#146;s unaudited statement
of income for ASG&#146;s first quarter 2011 and gives effect to the consummation of the acquisition as
if it occurred on January&nbsp;31, 2010. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that we consider reasonable. The pro forma results of operations are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the
transactions reflected therein been consummated on the date indicated or that will be achieved in
the future. We have presented the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of earnings for our
fiscal year 2010 because we believe investors may find such data to be a useful measure of our
recent operating performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The pro forma adjustments and allocation of purchase price are preliminary and are based on
our estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase
price allocation will be completed after asset and liability valuations are finalized. This final
valuation will be based on the actual assets and liabilities of ASG that exist as of the date of
the acquisition. Any final adjustments may materially change the allocation of the purchase price,
which could affect the fair value assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a
significant change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data presented
below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data below are only a summary and
should be read in conjunction with ASG&#146;s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in this prospectus, and Brown Shoe&#146;s audited consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this
prospectus.

included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before deciding to participate in the
exchange offer described in this prospectus. Some of the following risks relate principally to your
participation or failure to participate in the exchange offer and ownership of our exchange notes.
Other risks relate principally to our business in general and the industry in which we operate. Our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected due
to any of these risks.</I>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>There are significant consequences if you fail to exchange your original notes.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We did not register the original notes under the Securities Act or any state securities laws,
nor do we intend to do so after the exchange offer. As a result, the original notes may only be
transferred in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If you do not exchange your
original notes in the exchange offer, you will lose your right to have the original notes
registered under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. If you continue to hold
original notes after the exchange offer, you may be unable to sell the original notes. Original
notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the exchange offer,
continue to be subject to existing restrictions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>You cannot be sure that an active trading market for the exchange notes will develop.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no existing market for the exchange notes. We do not intend to apply for a listing of
the exchange notes on any securities exchange. We do not know if an active public market for the
exchange notes will develop or, if developed, will continue. If an active public market does not
develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely
affected. We cannot make any assurances regarding the liquidity of the market for the exchange
notes, the ability of holders to sell their exchange notes or the price at which holders may sell
their exchange notes. In addition, the liquidity and the market price of the exchange notes may be
adversely affected by changes in the overall market for securities similar to the exchange notes,
by changes in our financial performance or prospects and by changes in conditions in our industry.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>You must follow the appropriate procedures to tender your original notes or they will not be
exchanged.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exchange notes will be issued in exchange for the original notes only after timely receipt
by the exchange agent of the original notes or a book-entry confirmation related thereto, a
properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or an agent&#146;s message and all other required
documentation. If you want to tender your original notes in exchange for exchange notes, you should
allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither we nor the exchange agent are under any
duty to give you notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of original
notes for exchange. Original notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will,
following the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In
addition, if you tender the original notes in the exchange offer to participate in a distribution
of the exchange notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For additional
information, please refer to the sections entitled &#147;The Exchange Offer&#148; and &#147;Plan of Distribution&#148;
later in this prospectus.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have now, and will continue to have after the exchange offer, a significant amount of debt.
In connection with our acquisition of ASG, we exercised our option to increase the amount of
availability under our revolving credit facility by $150&nbsp;million, from $380&nbsp;million to
$530&nbsp;million. As of April&nbsp;30, 2011, assuming we had completed the acquisition of ASG, the offering

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, borrowings under our existing revolving credit agreement bear interest at
variable rates. If market interest rates increase, we will have higher debt service requirements,
which could adversely affect our cash flow. While we may enter into agreements limiting our

risk.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may be able to incur additional debt in the future. The terms of our existing revolving
credit agreement and the indenture governing the notes will allow us to incur substantial amounts
of additional debt, subject to certain limitations. As of April&nbsp;30, 2011, assuming we had completed
the acquisition of ASG, the offering of the original notes, and consummated the Tender Offer and
subsequent redemption of the balance of our 8<FONT style="FONT-size: 70%"><SUP>3</SUP></FONT>/<FONT style="FONT-size: 60%">4</FONT>% Notes, our existing revolving credit agreement
would have permitted additional borrowings of up to $256.1&nbsp;million. In addition, the revolving
credit agreement provides for up to an additional $150.0&nbsp;million of optional availability pursuant
to a provision commonly referred to as an &#147;accordion feature,&#148; subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the related risks we could
face would be magnified.

assuming we had completed the acquisition of ASG, the offering of the original notes, and
consummated the Tender Offer and subsequent redemption of the balance of our 8<FONT style="FONT-size: 70%"><SUP>3</SUP></FONT>/<FONT style="FONT-size: 60%">4</FONT>% Notes, as of such
date, we would have had $244.7&nbsp;million of secured debt outstanding, all of which would have been
secured debt under our existing revolving credit agreement, and up to $256.1&nbsp;million of additional
availability under our existing revolving credit agreement. The notes will be effectively
subordinated to any borrowings under our existing revolving credit agreement and future secured
debt. See &#147;Description of Certain Indebtedness.&#148; The indenture governing the notes will allow us to
incur a substantial amount of additional secured debt.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Not all of our subsidiaries will guarantee the notes, and the assets of our non-guarantor
subsidiaries may not be available to make payments on the notes.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The guarantors of the notes will not include all of our subsidiaries. In particular, our
foreign subsidiaries (other than Brown Shoe Company of Canada Ltd), certain of our domestic
subsidiaries, our inactive domestic subsidiaries and all of our future unrestricted subsidiaries
will not guarantee the notes. Payments on the notes are only required to be made by us and the
subsidiary guarantors. As a result, no payments are required to be made from assets of subsidiaries
that do not guarantee the notes, unless those assets are transferred by dividend or otherwise to us
or a subsidiary guarantor. In 2010, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had net sales of $216.6&nbsp;million,
or 8.0% of our pro forma consolidated net sales for such period, and earnings before income taxes
of $14.4&nbsp;million, or 21.3% of our pro forma consolidated earnings before income taxes for such
period. At April&nbsp;30, 2011, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $181.2&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that any non-guarantor subsidiary becomes insolvent, liquidates, reorganizes,
dissolves or otherwise winds up, holders of its debt and its trade creditors generally will be
entitled to payment on their claims from the assets of that subsidiary before any of those assets
are made available to us. Consequently, your claims in respect of the notes will be effectively
subordinated to all of the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables.
As of April&nbsp;30, 2011, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had $96.6&nbsp;million of liabilities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash, which may not be available to

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our ability to make payments on, or repay or refinance, our debt, including the notes, and to
fund our operations and our planned capital expenditures, will depend largely upon our future
operating performance. Our future performance, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic,
financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In
addition, our ability to borrow funds in the future to make payments on our debt will depend on the
satisfaction of the covenants in our existing revolving credit agreement and our other debt
agreements, including the indenture governing the notes, and other agreements we may enter into in
the future. Specifically, our ability to borrow under our existing revolving credit agreement is
limited to the lesser of the total commitments and the borrowing base, which is based on stated
percentages of the sum of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined, less applicable
reserves. In addition, if excess availability under this facility falls below the greater of (i)
12.5% of the lesser of (x)&nbsp;the borrowing base or (y)&nbsp;the total commitments and (ii) $35.0&nbsp;million,
we will be subject to minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirements. We cannot assure you that
our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be
available to us under our existing revolving credit agreement or from other sources in an amount
sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, including the notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, prior to the repayment of the notes, we will be required to refinance our

our customers and others with whom we do business to suffer financial hardship, all of which could
adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During 2008 and 2009, worldwide economic conditions deteriorated in many countries and
regions, including the United States. Despite some positive trends during the second half of 2009
and throughout 2010, business conditions may remain difficult for the foreseeable future. Consumer
spending is affected by many factors, including, among others, general business conditions,
interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels, the availability of consumer credit, health care
costs, currency exchange rates, taxation, gasoline prices, real estate values, foreclosure rates,
unemployment trends, economic consequences of military action or terrorist activities and other
matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. Many of these factors are outside of our
control and may have a negative impact on our sales and margins. Our customers&#146; purchases,
including our products, could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, when prices
increase in response to rising costs or in periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic
conditions. If we encounter increases in our product costs, these may not be offset by comparable
rises in the income of consumers of our products. These consumers may choose to purchase fewer of
our products or purchase lower-priced products of our competitors in response to higher prices for
our products or may choose not to purchase our products at prices that reflect our price increases
that become effective from time to time. If any of these events occur, or if unfavorable economic
conditions further challenge the consumer environment, our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, economic conditions, including decreased access to credit, may result in
financial difficulties leading to restructurings, bankruptcies, liquidations and other unfavorable
events for our customers, product suppliers, insurers, logistics and other service providers and
financial institutions that are counterparties to our credit facilities and derivatives
transactions. Our customers may experience diminished liquidity that could result in an increase in
our credit risk, or our customers may encounter an inability to obtain credit to finance purchases
of our products. If third parties on which we rely for goods or services are unable to overcome
difficulties resulting from the deterioration in worldwide economic conditions and provide us with
the materials and services we need, or if counterparties to our credit facilities or derivatives
transactions do not perform their obligations, our business, results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity could be adversely affected. For example, over the last few years, we
experienced some disruption in product sourcing as a result of certain unforeseen factory closures.
While the financial consequences to the Company of these closures were not material, the impact of
many closures of major facilities may have an adverse effect on product sourcing. We attempt to
mitigate this risk in a variety of ways, including diversification among factories, but such risk
to our business and results of operations cannot be completely eliminated.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Competition is intense in the footwear industry. Certain of our competitors are larger and

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">entry into this industry and new companies may enter the markets in which we compete, further
increasing competition in the industry. Our success depends upon our ability to remain competitive
in the areas of style, price, quality, location and service, among others, and in part on our
ability to anticipate and respond to changing merchandise and fashion trends and consumer
preferences and demands in a timely manner. The industry has also been impacted by retailers
aggressively competing on the basis of price. Accordingly, there has been competitive pressure on
us to keep our selling prices low. Additionally, retailers are increasingly relying on private
label brands, which compete with our products directly. Further, these retailers, in some cases,
are deciding to source more of their products directly from manufacturers overseas, reducing their
reliance on wholesalers. If we are unable to respond effectively to these competitive pressures,
our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We face risks related to the maintenance of proper inventory levels.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We place orders with manufacturers for some of our products prior to the time we receive all
of our customers&#146; orders. We do this to minimize purchasing costs, the time necessary to fill
customer orders and the risk of non-delivery. We also maintain an inventory of certain products
that we anticipate will be in greater demand. We may fail to gauge the fashion tastes of consumers
or differentiate our retail and wholesale offerings. Also, current economic conditions make it
increasingly difficult for us and our customers to accurately forecast product demand trends, and
we may be unable to sell the products we have ordered in advance from manufacturers or that we have

write-downs, and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair the
brand image and have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand for our products or if our manufacturers fail to
supply the quality products that we require at the time we need them, we may experience inventory
shortages. Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively impact retailer and
distributor relationships, negatively impact our sales results and diminish brand awareness.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The footwear industry is subject to rapidly changing consumer demands and fashion trends.
Accordingly, our success in both our wholesale and retail operations depends in large part on our
ability to anticipate, understand and react to changing consumer demands. Our products must appeal
to a broad range of consumers whose preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and are subject
to rapid change. The success of our products, merchandising strategies and marketing strategies and
programs will also depend on a favorable reception by our customers. Furthermore, consumer
preferences and purchasing patterns may be influenced by consumers&#146; disposable income, which could
impact the success of our operations.

prices, less favorable payment terms, less manufacturing capacity, lower quality standards or
increased lead times for delivery. If we are unable to provide products consistent with our
standards or the manufacture of our footwear is delayed or becomes more expensive, this could
result in our customers canceling orders, refusing to accept deliveries or demanding reductions in

the outbreak of a pandemic disease in China or any other disaster, such as that caused by a nuclear

private-label footwear to these same national chains, mass merchandisers, department stores,
independent retailers, catalogs and online retailers. While we believe purchasing decisions in many
cases are made independently by the buyers and merchandisers of each of the customers, a decision
by a significant customer, including any multiple national chain operators, mass merchandiser,
department store, independent retailer, catalog and/or online retailer or any other significant

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The retail industry has experienced increased consolidation. As this trend continues, our
wholesale customers will likely seek more favorable terms for their purchases of our products,
which could limit our ability to raise prices or achieve our profit goals. In turn, we may not be
able to recoup raw material or other cost increases. Sales on terms less favorable to us than our
current terms will have an adverse effect on our profitability. Consolidation could lead to a
decrease in the number of stores that carry our products and could expose us to greater
concentration of accounts receivable risk. In addition, retailers are deciding to source more of
their products directly from manufacturers overseas and reducing their reliance on wholesalers. If
retailers continue to increase their direct sourcing of footwear from overseas, this could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

license agreements are generally for an initial term of two to four years, subject to renewal, but
even where we have longer-term licenses or have an option to renew a license, such agreements are
dependent upon our achieving certain results in marketing the licensed products. While we believe
we will generally be able to decide whether to renew our existing licenses and obtain new licenses
in the future, there can be no assurance we will be able to renew our current licenses or obtain
new licenses. In addition, certain of our license agreements are not exclusive, and new or existing

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our quarterly sales and earnings can vary due to a number of factors, including, among others,
weather and shipment delays, many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we may not be able
to accurately predict our quarterly sales and earnings. In our wholesale business, sales of
footwear are dependent on orders from our major customers, and they may change delivery schedules,
change the mix of products they order or cancel orders without penalty. In addition, our wholesale
customers set the delivery schedule for shipments of our products, which could cause shifts of
sales between quarters. Our Famous Footwear retail business is seasonally weighted to the
back-to-school season, which falls into our fiscal third quarter. As a result the success of our
back to school offering, which is affected by our ability to anticipate consumer demand and fashion
trends, could have disproportional impact on our full year results. In addition, our annualized tax
rate is based on projections of our domestic and international operating results for the year,
which we review and revise as necessary each quarter. As a result of these specific and other
general factors, our operating results will vary from quarter to quarter, and the results for any
particular quarter may not be indicative of results for the full year. Any shortfall in sales or
earnings from the levels expected by investors or securities analysts could cause a decrease in the
trading price of our securities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We could be adversely affected by changes in tax laws, policies and treaties.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our financial results are significantly impacted by our effective tax rates, for both domestic
and international operations; therefore, changes in domestic and/or international tax laws,
interpretations, policies and treaties may result in increased volatility of our financial results.
The passage of any currently existing or future legislation, as a result of changes in domestic or
international tax laws, that defers or eliminates certain tax deductions that are currently
available to the Company would result in the Company paying higher income taxes and, depending on
the specifics of the changes, could materially and negatively affect our financial condition and
results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We may face transitional challenges with acquisitions and/or joint ventures.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Periodically, we pursue acquisitions of other companies or businesses and/or joint ventures.
Although we review the records of acquisition candidates, such an in-depth review of the records
may not reveal existing or potential problems. As a result, we may not become familiar enough with
the business to fully assess its strengths and weaknesses, and accordingly, we may assume adverse
operating conditions and/or unanticipated liabilities, and the business may not perform as well as
expected. We face the risk that the returns on acquisitions and/or joint ventures will not support
the expenditures or indebtedness incurred to acquire or launch such businesses. We also face the
risk that we will not be able to integrate acquisitions and/or joint ventures into our existing
operations effectively without substantial expense, delay or other operational or financial
problems. Integration may be hindered by, among other things, differing procedures, including
internal controls, business practices and technology systems. We may need to allocate more
management resources to integration than we planned, which may adversely affect our ability to
pursue other profitable activities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>With our recent acquisition of ASG, we have expanded our presence in the highly competitive
performance footwear market.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our acquisition of ASG added performance athletic and outdoor footwear brands to our existing
wholesale portfolio of brands, strengthening our position in the performance footwear market. The
performance footwear market is highly competitive in the United States and worldwide, and market
participants face many challenges. Consumer perceptions of our newly acquired performance footwear
brands, competitive product offerings and technologies, rapid changes in footwear technology and
consumer preferences, any negative professional and expert opinions on the unique technologies and
designs of the newly acquired performance footwear brands and performance claims that may arise and
any negative publicity and media attention associated with this product category that may arise may
constitute significant risk factors in our operations and may negatively impact our business.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We could be adversely affected by the failure of financial institutions to fulfill their
commitments under our Credit Agreement.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;), which matures on
January&nbsp;7, 2016, is provided by a syndicate of financial institutions, with each institution
agreeing severally (and not jointly) to make revolving credit loans to us in an aggregate amount of
up to $530.0&nbsp;million in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit
Agreement provides for up to an additional $150.0&nbsp;million of optional availability pursuant to a
provision commonly referred to as an &#147;accordion feature,&#148; subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions. If one or more of the financial institutions participating in the revolving credit
facility were to default on its obligation to fund its commitment, the portion of the facility
provided by such defaulting financial institution would not be available to us.

capital and increasing our interest expense.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The credit ratings agencies periodically review our capital structure and the quality and
stability of our earnings. Any negative ratings actions could constrain the capital available to
our company or our industry and could limit our access to long-term funding or cause such access to
be available at a higher borrowing cost for our operations. We are dependent upon our ability to
access capital at rates and on terms we determine to be attractive. If our ability to access
capital becomes constrained, our interest costs will likely increase, which could adversely affect
our financial condition and results of operations.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a defendant from time to time in lawsuits and regulatory actions (including
environmental matters) relating to our business and to our past operations. Due to the inherent
uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate
outcome of any such proceedings. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, regardless of the outcome of
any litigation or regulatory proceedings, such proceedings are expensive and will require that we
devote substantial resources and executive time to defend the Company. See Item&nbsp;3, <I>Legal
Proceedings</I>, in our 2010 Annual Report, incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for further
discussion of pending matters.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We are subject to rising insurance costs.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We self-insure a significant portion of our expected losses under our workers&#146; compensation,
employment practices, health, disability, cyber risk, general liability, automobile and property
programs, among others. The liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by us are
estimated by considering our historical claims experience and data from actuarial sources. The
estimated accruals for these liabilities could be affected if claims differ from the assumptions
used and historical trends. Unanticipated changes in the estimates underlying our reserves for
these losses, such as claims experience, inflation and regulatory changes, could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>We are subject to legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change
concerns, which could negatively affect our business.</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There has been an increasing focus and continuous debate on global climate change, including
increased attention from regulatory agencies and legislative bodies globally. This increased focus
may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an unspecified array of environmental matters.
Legislative, regulatory or other efforts globally to combat climate change could have negative
implications, including, but not limited to, future tax increases, increased costs of
transportation and utilities and other cost increases imposed on foreign sources of production, all
of which could decrease our operating profits. We are unable to predict the potential effects that
any such future environmental initiatives may have on our business.

above, we completed the private placement of $200&nbsp;million of our 7&#8539;% Senior Notes due 2019 on May
11, 2011. The original notes are, and the exchange notes we are offering in the exchange offer will
be, initially guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that is an obligor or guarantor under our
existing revolving credit facility. Simultaneously with the private placement of the original
notes, the subsidiary guarantors and Brown Shoe entered into a registration rights agreement on May
11, 2011 with the initial purchasers of the original notes. Under the registration rights
agreement, we were obligated to file the registration statement (of which this prospectus is a
part) on or before August&nbsp;9, 2011, use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective no later than November&nbsp;7, 2011, and, when such
registration statement is effective, deliver this prospectus to the holders of the original notes.
We must use our commercially reasonable efforts to complete the exchange offer on or before the
date that is 30 business days after the target effective date of such registration statement. If we
do not meet our obligations under the registration statement, we must pay liquidated damages to the
holders of the original notes until we have cured our default. Pursuant to the exchange offer, you
may exchange your original notes for exchange notes, which have substantially the same terms as the
original notes. You should read the discussion under the heading &#147;Prospectus Summary&#151;Summary of
Terms of Exchange Notes&#148; and &#147;Description of the Exchange Notes&#148; for further information regarding
the exchange notes.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On January&nbsp;7, 2011, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the &#147;Loan Parties&#148;) entered into a
Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the &#147;Credit Agreement&#148;). The Credit Agreement replaced
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January&nbsp;21, 2009 (the &#147;Former Credit
Agreement&#148;), which was scheduled to mature on January&nbsp;21, 2014. The Credit Agreement now matures on
January&nbsp;7, 2016. As of the end of fiscal year 2010, and prior to the amendment and restatement, the
Credit Agreement provided for revolving credit in an aggregate amount of up to $380.0&nbsp;million,
subject to the calculated borrowing base restrictions, and may be increased at the Company&#146;s option
by (a)&nbsp;up to $150.0&nbsp;million from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement (the &#147;general
purpose accordion feature&#148;) and (b)&nbsp;an additional $150.0&nbsp;million prior to February&nbsp;28, 2011 (the
&#147;designated event accordion feature&#148;), in both instances subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions and the willingness of existing or new lenders to assume the increased commitment.
Borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited to the lesser of the total commitments
and the borrowing base, which is based on stated percentages of the sum of eligible accounts
receivable and inventory, as defined, less applicable reserves. Under the Credit Agreement, the
Loan Parties&#146; obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in all accounts
receivable, inventory and certain other collateral.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At April&nbsp;30, 2011, we had $288.0&nbsp;million in borrowings outstanding and $8.4&nbsp;million in letters
of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Total additional borrowing availability was
$212.8&nbsp;million at April&nbsp;30, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective February&nbsp;17, 2011, the Loan Parties exercised the $150.0&nbsp;million designated event
accordion feature to fund the acquisition of ASG, increasing the aggregate amount available under
the Credit Agreement from $380.0&nbsp;million to $530.0&nbsp;million. The Credit Agreement still provides for
access to an additional $150.0&nbsp;million of optional availability pursuant to the general purpose
accordion feature, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the willingness of existing or
new lenders to assume the increased commitment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brown Shoe Company, Inc. is the lead borrower and the following subsidiaries are each
co-borrowers under our existing revolving credit agreement: Sidney Rich Associates, Inc., Brown
Group Retail, Inc., Brown Shoe International Corp., Buster Brown &#038; Co., Bennett Footwear Group LLC,
Shoes.com, Inc., Edelman Shoe, Inc., ASG and The Basketball Marketing Company, Inc. Our Canadian
subsidiary, Brown Shoe Company of Canada Ltd (our &#147;Canadian subsidiary&#148;), guarantees the
obligations of us and the co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Interest</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest on borrowings is at variable rates based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate
(&#147;LIBOR&#148;) or the prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate
and fees for letters of credit varies based upon the level of excess availability under the Credit
Agreement. There is an unused line fee payable on the unused portion under the facility and a
letter of credit fee payable on the outstanding face amount under letters of credit.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Credit Agreement limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make
investments or specified payments, give guarantees, pay dividends, make capital expenditures and
merge or acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain additional covenants would be triggered if
excess availability were to fall below specified levels, including fixed charge coverage ratio
requirements. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below the greater of (i)&nbsp;15.0% of the
lesser of (x)&nbsp;the borrowing base or (y)&nbsp;the total commitments and (ii) $35.0&nbsp;million for three
consecutive business days, or an event of default occurs, the lenders may assume dominion and
control over our cash (a &#147;cash dominion event&#148;) until such event of default is cured or waived or
the excess availability exceeds such amount for 30 consecutive days.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Events of Default</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default including, without limitation,
payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to
other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, judgment defaults in
excess of a certain threshold, the failure of any guaranty or security document supporting the
agreement to be in full force and effect and a the occurrence of change of control. In addition, if
the excess availability falls below the greater of (i)&nbsp;12.5% of the lesser of (x)&nbsp;the borrowing
base or (y)&nbsp;the total commitments and (ii) $35.0&nbsp;million and the fixed charge coverage ratio is
less than 1.0 to 1.0, we would be in default under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also
contains certain other covenants and restrictions. We were in compliance with all covenants and
restrictions under the Credit Agreement as of April&nbsp;30, 2011.

to the exchange offer, we believe that a holder of exchange notes, other than a broker-dealer, may
offer exchange notes for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the exchange notes without
delivering a prospectus to prospective purchasers, if the holder acquired the exchange notes in the
ordinary course of business, has no intention of engaging in a &#147;distribution&#148; (as defined under the
Securities Act) of the exchange notes and is not an &#147;affiliate&#148; (as defined under the Securities
Act) of Brown Shoe. We will not seek our own interpretive letter. As a result, we cannot assure you
that the staff will take the same position on this exchange offer as it did in interpretive letters
to other parties in similar transactions.

by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and acknowledge that it
will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any
offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of the exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer.
Any such broker-dealer is referred to as a participating broker-dealer. However, by so
acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to
admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; (as defined under the Securities Act). If a broker-dealer
acquired original notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities, it may use this
prospectus, as amended or supplemented, in connection with offers to resell, resales or retransfers
of exchange notes received in exchange for the original notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We
have agreed that, during the period ending 180&nbsp;days after the consummation of the exchange offer,
subject to extension in limited circumstances, we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the exchange offer registration statement effective and make this prospectus available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See &#147;Plan of Distribution&#148; for a
discussion of the exchange and resale obligations of broker-dealers in connection with the exchange

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders who desire to tender their original notes in exchange for exchange notes should allow
sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. Neither the exchange agent nor Brown Shoe is under any
duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of notes for
exchange.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Original notes that are not tendered or are tendered but not accepted will, following the
consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture
regarding the transfer and exchange of the original notes and the existing restrictions on transfer
set forth in the legend on the original notes and in the confidential offering memorandum dated
April&nbsp;27, 2011 relating to the original notes. Except in limited circumstances with respect to
specific types of holders of original notes, we will have no further obligation to provide for the
registration under the Securities Act of such original notes. In general, original notes, unless
registered under the Securities Act, may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
We do not currently anticipate that we will take any action to register the original notes under
the Securities Act or under any state securities laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon completion of the exchange offer, holders of the original notes will not be entitled to
any further registration rights under the registration rights agreement, except under limited
circumstances. Holders of the exchange notes and any original notes which remain outstanding after
consummation of the exchange offer will vote together as a single class for purposes of determining
whether holders of the requisite percentage of the class have taken certain actions or exercised
certain rights under the indenture.

National Association as trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;). The terms of the notes include those stated in the

notes will be registered under the Securities Act, (ii)&nbsp;the exchange notes will not bear
restrictive legends restricting their transfer under the Securities Act, (iii)&nbsp;holders of the

the exchange notes will not contain provisions relating to liquidated damages in connection with
the original notes under circumstances related to the timing of the exchange offer.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Trustee or any of its Affiliates becomes a creditor of the Company or any Guarantor,
the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act limit its right to obtain payment of claims in certain
cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or
otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires
any conflicting interest (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) it must eliminate such conflict
within 90&nbsp;days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign in accordance with the
Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Trustee will be required, in the exercise of the rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture,
to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs under the
circumstances. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other
Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Subject to such provisions, the
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at
the request or direction of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the
Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

securities for its participating organizations (collectively, the &#147;Participants&#148;) and to facilitate
the clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between Participants through
electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities
brokers and dealers (including the Initial Purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC&#146;s system is also available to other
entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (collectively, the
&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). Persons who are not Participants may beneficially own securities held by
or on behalf of DTC only through the Participants or the Indirect Participants. The ownership
interests in, and transfers of ownership interests in, each security held by or on behalf of DTC
are recorded on the records of the Participants and Indirect Participants.

laws of some jurisdictions, including certain states of the United States, require that certain
Persons take physical delivery in definitive form of securities that they own. Consequently, the
ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Note to such Persons will be limited to that
extent. Because DTC can act only on behalf of Participants, which in turn act on behalf of Indirect
Participants, the ability of a Person having beneficial interests in a Global Note to pledge such
interests to Persons that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in
respect of such interests, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such

exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer, and the ownership and disposition of exchange notes
acquired by U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (collectively referred to as &#147;holders&#148;) pursuant to
the exchange offer. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax
consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of its particular circumstances or to

subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax, dealers in securities or currencies, financial
institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, certain former citizens or

in connection with a straddle, hedging, conversion or other risk-reduction transaction.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. federal income tax consequences set forth below are based upon the Internal Revenue

with possible retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge one or

treated as a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, U.S. holders will

note will include the holding period for the original note and the initial basis in the exchange
note will be the same as the adjusted basis in the original note.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><I>Treatment of the Notes</I>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest
or principal on the exchange notes, including as described under &#147;Description of the Exchange
Notes&#151;Optional Redemption,&#148; and &#147;Description of the Exchange Notes&#151;Repurchase at the Option of
Holders&#151;Change of Control.&#148; Our obligation to pay such excess amounts may cause the IRS to take
the position that the exchange notes are &#147;contingent payment debt instruments&#148; for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. If the IRS is successful in such an assertion, the timing and amount of income
included and the character of gain recognized with respect to the exchange notes may be different
from the consequences described herein. Notwithstanding this possibility, we do not believe that
the exchange notes are contingent payment debt instruments, and consequently, we do not intend to
treat the exchange notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Such determination by us is
binding on all holders unless a holder discloses its differing position in a statement attached to
its timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year during which a exchange note
was acquired. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the exchange notes will not be treated
as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In general, a U.S. holder will be required to recognize as ordinary income any interest

purposes. Subject to a de minimis exception, gain realized on the maturity, sale, exchange,
redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a market discount note will be treated as
ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount not previously recognized (including,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a U.S. holder purchased the original notes for an amount greater than their face value,
such holder will have purchased such notes with amortizable bond premium. Such holder generally may
elect to amortize that premium from the purchase date to the maturity date of the notes under the
constant yield method. Amortizable bond premium generally may be deducted against interest income
on the original note or the exchange note (including, in the case of an exchange note, the income
on the original note for which such exchange note was exchanged) and generally may not be deducted
against other income. A U.S. holder&#146;s basis in a note will be reduced by any premium amortization
deductions. An election to amortize premium on a constant yield method, once made, generally
applies to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by such holder during the taxable
year of the election and thereafter, and may not be revoked without IRS consent.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, redemption or other
taxable disposition of an exchange note. The U.S. holder&#146;s gain or loss will equal the difference
between the proceeds received by the holder (other than redemption proceeds attributable to accrued
interest) and the holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the exchange note. The proceeds received by a U.S.
holder will include the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received
for the exchange note. In general, a U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a note will equal the
amount paid for the note increased by any market discount previously included in income and
decreased (but not below zero) by amortized bond premium and the amount of any payments other than
qualified stated interest payments received with respect to the note. The portion of any redemption
proceeds that is attributable to accrued interest will not be taken into account in computing the
U.S. holder&#146;s capital gain or loss. Instead, that portion will be recognized as ordinary interest
income to the extent that the U.S. holder has not previously included the accrued interest in
income. The gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on a disposition of the exchange note will be
capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder held the exchange
note for more than one year. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, net long-term capital gains

delivery requirement with respect to resales of the exchange notes. Each broker-dealer receiving
exchange notes for its own account in the exchange offer must represent that the original notes to
be exchanged for the exchange notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities and acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements
of the Securities Act in connection with any offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of the
exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, the participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148;

of (i)&nbsp;180&nbsp;days after the date of this prospectus or (ii)&nbsp;the date broker-dealers are no longer
required to deliver a prospectus in connection with resales, subject to extension under limited
circumstances, we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the exchange offer
registration statement effective and make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to
any broker-dealer for use in connection with such resales. To date, the SEC has taken the position
that broker-dealers may use a prospectus such as this one to fulfill their prospectus delivery
requirements with respect to resales of exchange notes received in an exchange such as the exchange
pursuant to the exchange offer, if the original notes for which the exchange notes were received in
the exchange were acquired for their own accounts as a result of market-making or other trading
activities.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the exchange notes by broker-dealers.
Broker-dealers acquiring exchange notes for their own accounts may sell the notes in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through writing options on
the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the
time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any
such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Board of Directors and Shareholders<BR>
American Sporting Goods Corporation and Subsidiaries

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of American Sporting Goods Corporation
and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December&nbsp;31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders&#146; equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2010.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the
consolidated financial statements of the foreign holding company, ASG Asia Investments Company
Limited, which statements reflect total assets of $28,291,000 as of December&nbsp;31, 2010 and total net
revenues of $58,059,000 for the year then ended. Those statements were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for ASG Asia Investments Company Limited, is based solely on the reports of the other
auditors.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.
Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of other auditors
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
American Sporting Goods Corporation and Subsidiaries at December&nbsp;31, 2010, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2010, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">American Sporting Goods Corporation and Subsidiaries (&#147;ASG&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) is a Delaware
corporation which was incorporated on December&nbsp;29, 1983. Current operations include both the
manufacture and sale of sporting goods to retailers.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Basis of Consolidation</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ASG and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, the Basketball Marketing Company, Inc. (&#147;AND 1&#148;), GAIC, LLC, a joint venture formed
in 2007 with an unrelated party, in which the Company owned a 75% interest and which was dissolved
in 2010, and ASG Asia Investments Company Limited (&#147;ASG Asia&#148;). GAIC, LLC was 100% consolidated in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements as the entity was controlled by ASG.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">ASG Asia was formed in 2006 and incorporated in Hong Kong. At that time, the Company transferred
its interest in Suzhou Turntec Footwear Co., Ltd. (&#147;Suzhou&#148;) to ASG Asia. Suzhou was incorporated
in the People&#146;s Republic of China in January&nbsp;1994 as a wholly foreign owned enterprise. Suzhou&#146;s
operating period expired January&nbsp;2010. Suzhou previously owned 100% of Shanghai American Sports
Trading Co., Ltd. (&#147;SAST&#148;), a company incorporated in the People&#146;s Republic of China. SAST&#146;s
operating period expires in 2012. In August&nbsp;2008, Suzhou sold their interest in SAST; a 70%
interest was sold to ASG Asia and a 30% interest was sold to a related party, Wonderful Idea
Investments, Ltd., which is owned by an employee of the Company. See Note 16.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2006, ASG Asia formed Yingtan ASG Footwear Co. Ltd. (&#147;Yingtan ASG&#148;), a company incorporated
in the People&#146;s Republic of China. Yingtan&#146;s operating period expires in 2021. During 2007, ASG
Asia formed Shangrao City ASG Footwear Co. Ltd. (&#147;Shangrao&#148;), a company incorporated in the
People&#146;s Republic of China. Shangrao&#146;s operating period expires in 2022. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In 2009, Suzhou closed the factory located in Suzhou and moved to Yingtan province. Suzhou received
a new tax ID in Yingtan province in 2010 and changed its name to Yingtan Turntec Footwear Co., Ltd.
(&#147;Yingtan Turntec&#148;). In connection with the Suzhou factory closure, Suzhou recognized a severance
cost. See further discussion at Note 15. As of December&nbsp;31, 2010, Yingtan Turntec was in the
process of liquidation.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its
estimates, including those related to provisions for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves,
intangible assets, long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash equivalents are defined as liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three
months or less when purchased.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Fair Value of Financial Instruments</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s consolidated financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and current and long-term debt. The carrying amount
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are
considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of
those instruments. The carrying amount of the line of credit approximates fair value since the
interest rate approximates the market rate for debt securities with similar terms and risk
characteristics.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounts receivables are stated at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management
provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to an
allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual
accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection
efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to
trade accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts have not been material to
the consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Inventory</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out and average cost methods) or market
value.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Property, Plant and Equipment</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the
improvements. Major improvements are capitalized while routine repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line
method based on the following estimated useful lives:

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not
recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
and eventual disposition of the asset. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by
which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value and is recorded as a
reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operating results. Based upon
its assessment as of December&nbsp;31, 2010, the Company has determined there was no impairment of its
long-lived assets.

form of a contract or a purchase order, the product has been shipped, the sales price is fixed or
determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues, as well as accounts receivable,
are recorded net of estimated adjustments related to certain sales allowances, discounts and
rebates. If and when customer terms differ from the Company&#146;s standard practice, management
estimates and recognizes the differences at the balance sheet date. Allowances for advertising are

retailers located throughout the United States and in Canada, Europe, South America, Asia and New
Zealand. Total assets on the consolidated balance sheet included approximately $28,291,000 for ASG
Asia located in China, including Hong Kong, at December&nbsp;31, 2010 (including cash of $5,887,000).
Although management believes that contractors would be available in other countries, a change in
suppliers could cause a delay in manufacturing and a possible increase in the cost of merchandise.
Approximately 16% of sales in 2010 were shipped to customers in California. Approximately 11% of
sales in 2010 were to customers located outside of the United States.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Sales to one customer aggregated approximately 16% of net revenues in 2010. Amounts due from one
customer aggregated approximately 16% of accounts receivable at December&nbsp;31, 2010. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to minimize credit risk and generally does not
require collateral. Foreign sales are primarily made under letters of credit and standby letters of

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various claims
and/or litigation. Management believes that the settlement of all such claims and/or litigation,
considered in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company&#146;s consolidated
financial position.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During October&nbsp;2010, a plaintiff commenced an adversary proceeding seeking to recover approximately
$404,000 against the Company pursuant to 11 U.S.C. &#167;&#167; 547(b) and 550. On November&nbsp;12, 2010, the
Company filed its answer to the complaint in which it generally denied allegations in the complaint
and raised statutory defenses, particularly defenses codified at 11 U.S.C. &#167; 547(c), the &#147;new
value&#148; defense and the &#147;ordinary course of business&#148; defense. Discovery is still ongoing and no
trial date has been set. The Company believes that the defenses raised in the answer are
meritorious. Although the parties have engaged in some settlement discussions, the case remains in
its early stages and at this time the Company is unable to assess the Company&#146;s likelihood of
success, or at what amount, if any, the case may ultimately be settled.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During 2010, the Company was involved in litigation whereby the plaintiff asserted that the Company
had used expired patent numbers on its products. Settlement discussions are in process and the
Company has accrued an amount it believes is sufficient to cover the exposure as of December&nbsp;31,
2010.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In September&nbsp;2010, the Company received a cease and desist letter from a competitor claiming that
one of their products, the Avimotion, infringed a patent owned by the competitor. The Company
strongly believes they have not infringed upon such competitor&#146;s patent and has formally responded
to the cease and desist letter. The Company has not heard from the competitor since October&nbsp;2010
and no further legal action has been taken on this matter since that time.

contingencies which may arise related to customs, penalties and surcharges which could be imposed
on Proged, provided they are related to transactions made by ASG while they were the owners. To
meet this requirement, the Company had a standby letter of credit with a bank for 500,000 Euros
which expires on July&nbsp;1, 2011. In February&nbsp;2011, a settlement was agreed upon for a payment of
$137,000. Subsequent to the payment, the standby letter of credit was canceled.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ASG Asia Investments Company
Limited (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders&#146; equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.
Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

respects, the consolidated financial position of ASG Asia Investments Company Limited at December
31, 2010 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended,
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Sections&nbsp;715, 717 and 721 through 725 of the New York Business Corporation Law and the certificate
of incorporation and the bylaws of Brown Shoe Company, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New York law authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made,
a party to any action or proceeding, civil or criminal, other than a shareholders&#146; derivative
action, by reason of being a director or officer of the corporation or serving any other entity in
any capacity (at the request of the corporation), against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, in connection therewith, if such
director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in, or,
in the case of service to any other entity, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation
and, in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A
corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to a shareholders&#146;
derivative action, in the circumstances and to the extent described in the preceding sentence,
except that in such case no indemnification shall be made for a threatened action, or a pending
action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent the
court finds that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification. Any person
who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal
proceeding as described above in this paragraph, shall be entitled to indemnification under New
York law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;New York law provides that its statutory provisions relating to indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other indemnification to which a director or officer may be entitled by reason of
the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or, if authorized by the certificate or bylaws, by reason
of a resolution of the stockholders or the directors as of an agreement with the corporation,
provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of an officer or director if a final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in
bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of
action adjudicated, or that such officer or director personally gained a financial profit or other
advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws of the Company provide that the Company shall indemnify any director and officer,
and may indemnify any employee or agent, of the Company, or of any other entity if requested by the
Company to serve as such, against any claim, liability or expense incurred as a result of such
service, to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the extent that such employee or agent has been
successful in the defense of a civil or criminal proceeding arising out of such service, such
employee or agent shall be entitled to such indemnification. The bylaws also provide that such
indemnification is not exclusive of any other indemnification to which such director, officer,
employee or agent might be entitled, and authorize the Company to enter into agreements with any
such director, officer, employee or agent, providing such rights of indemnification as the Board of
Directors deems appropriate, provided that any such agreement shall not provide for indemnification
of such a director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or
officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active
or deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action adjudicated, or that he or she
personally gained a financial profit or other advantage to which such director or officer was not
legally entitled. Finally, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify any such
director, officer, employee or agent, to the maximum extent allowed by law, whether or not the
Company would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person.

Company, Inc., Edelman Shoe, Inc., and Shoes.com, Inc. (collectively, the &#147;Delaware Guarantors&#148;)

permissible only when the director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was
unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law also precludes indemnification in respect of any
claim, issue, or matter as to which an officer, director, employee, or agent shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of
Chancery or such other court deems proper.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws of the Delaware Guarantors provide that each of the Delaware Guarantors shall have

agent against any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
such Delaware Guarantor. Further, the Articles of Incorporation of the Delaware Guarantors state
that the board of directors of each Delaware Guarantor may cause such Delaware Guarantor to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent of the
Delaware Guarantor, or is or was serving at the request of the Delaware Guarantor or for its
benefit as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the
representative of the Delaware Guarantor, against any expense, liability or loss asserted against
or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of any such status, whether or
not such Delaware Guarantor would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense,
liability or loss.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Directors or officers of the Delaware Guarantors who are directors or officers of Brown Shoe
Company, Inc. or its affiliates may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the charter
documents of such companies or under the provisions of agreements with such companies providing
indemnification to them since they serve as directors or officers of the Delaware Guarantors at the
request of Brown Shoe Company, Inc. or its affiliates, as the case may be. Brown Shoe Company, Inc.
maintains a policy of insurance under which the directors and officers of the Delaware Guarantors
are insured, subject to the limits of the policy, against certain losses, as defined in the policy,
arising from claims made against such directors and officers by reason of any wrongful acts, as
defined in the policy, in their respective capacities as directors or officers.

actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action

indemnity is either (i)&nbsp;authorized, directed or provided for in the articles of incorporation of
the corporation or any duly adopted amendment thereof or (ii)&nbsp;is authorized, directed or provided

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brown Group Retail, Inc. (&#147;Brown Retail&#148;) is a Pennsylvania corporation. Sections&nbsp;1741 and
1742 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988, as amended (the &#147;PBCL&#148;) provide that a
business corporation may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities they may incur as
such provided that the particular person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to
any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In
general, the power to indemnify under these sections does not exist in the case of actions against
a director or officer by or in the right of the corporation if the person otherwise entitled to
indemnification shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless it is judicially
determined that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for specified expenses. The
corporation is required to indemnify directors and officers against expenses they actually

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1713 of the PBCL permits the shareholders to adopt a bylaw provision relieving a
director (but not an officer) of personal liability for monetary damages except where (i)&nbsp;the
director has breached the applicable standard of care, and (ii)&nbsp;such conduct constitutes
self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The statute provides that a director may not be
relieved of liability for the payment of taxes pursuant to any federal, state or local law or
responsibility under a criminal statute.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL grants a corporation broad authority to indemnify its directors,
officers and other agents for liabilities and expenses incurred in such capacity, except in
circumstances where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is
determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bylaws of Brown Retail state that Brown Retail shall indemnify any director or officer,
and may indemnify any employee or agent of Brown Retail or any other entity, if requested by Brown
Retail to serve in such capacity, against any claim, liability or expense incurred as a result of
such service, to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the extent that such employee or agent has
been successful in the defense, on the merits or otherwise, of a civil or criminal proceeding
arising out of such service, such employee or agent shall be entitled to such indemnification. The
bylaws also provide that such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which any director, officer, employee or agent of Brown Retail might be entitled, both as to action
in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The bylaws
further authorize Brown Retail to enter into agreements with any such director, officer, employee
or agent, providing such rights of indemnification as the board of directors deems appropriate,
provided that any such agreement shall not provide for indemnification of such a director or
officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such director or officer establishes
that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active or deliberate
dishonesty and were material to the cause of action adjudicated, or that he or she personally
gained a financial profit or other advantage to which such director or officer was not legally
entitled. Finally, pursuant to its bylaws, Brown Retail may purchase and maintain insurance to
indemnify any such director, officer, employee or agent, to the maximum extent allowed by law,
whether or not Brown Retail would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person.

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION<BR>
OF<BR>
AMERICAN SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIRST: The name of the Corporation is American Sporting Goods Corporation.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SECOND:&nbsp;Its registered office in the State of Delaware is located at 2711 Centerville Road, Suite
400, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware 19808 and the registered agent at such address is
Corporation Service Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to
issue is one thousand (1,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIFTH: All corporate powers of the Corporation shall be exercised by or under the direction
of the Board of Directors except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law. In furtherance
and not in limitation of the powers conferred by law, the Board of Directors is expressly
authorized:
</DIV>



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to adopt, amend or repeal Bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the
stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, amend or
repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, at what time and place,
and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any
of them, shall be open to the inspection of any stockholder; and no stockholder shall have
any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Corporation except as provided
by applicable law or the Bylaws of the Corporation or as authorized by resolution of the
stockholders or Board of Directors of the Corporation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SIXTH: No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to eliminate or limit the liability of a
director to the extent provided by applicable law (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of
loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision is not intended to eliminate or
narrow any defenses to or protection against liability otherwise available to directors of the
Corporation. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall apply to or have any effect on the
liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts
or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEVENTH:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom such
person is a legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a director, officer, employee or
agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the Corporation in a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent legally permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably paid or incurred by such
person in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right that may
be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall include the
right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such person to repay such amount if ultimately it should be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the
generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification
under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this Article.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Board of Directors may adopt Bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the
Corporation in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, against any expense, liability
or loss asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of any
such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EIGHTH: To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event that either the Corporation or
any stockholder of the Corporation acquires knowledge of any potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter which may be an opportunity for both the Corporation and such
stockholder, neither the Corporation nor such stockholder will have any duty to communicate or
offer such opportunity to the other and such stockholder will not be liable to the Corporation for
breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation will not
be liable to such stockholder, by reason of the fact that the Corporation or such stockholder, as
the case may be, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or does not communicate such
opportunity or information regarding such opportunity to such stockholder or the Corporation, as
the case may be.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision
contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted
subject to this reservation.

by such action. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more
than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting,
a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at

purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to
vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for
him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it
states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing
revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the
Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be
conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes
of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine.
At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law
or by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, provided that (except as otherwise required by law or by the
certificate of incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any election or
question.

stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or
exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in
advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date

thereof or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the
presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes the contract or
transaction.

stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, amend or
repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors; and

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, at what time and place,

liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts
or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEVENTH:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom such
person is a legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a director, officer, employee or
agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the Corporation in a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent legally permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably paid or incurred by such
person in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right that may
be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall include the
right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such person to repay such amount if ultimately it should be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the
generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification
under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this Article.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Board of Directors may adopt Bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the
Corporation in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, against any expense, liability
or loss asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of any
such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EIGHTH: To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event that either the Corporation or
any stockholder of the Corporation acquires knowledge of any potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter which may be an opportunity for both the Corporation and such
stockholder, neither the Corporation nor such stockholder will have any duty to communicate or
offer such opportunity to the other and such stockholder will not be liable to the Corporation for
breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation will not
be liable to such stockholder, by reason of the fact that the Corporation or such stockholder, as
the case may be, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or does not communicate such
opportunity or information regarding such opportunity to such stockholder or the Corporation, as
the case may be.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision
contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted
subject to this reservation.

certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors;
provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may
be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could
be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled
by such action. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.2. <U>Special Meetings</U>. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.3. <U>Notice of Meetings</U>. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to

for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any

adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be
given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more
than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting,
a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at

may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided by Section&nbsp;1.4
of these bylaws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own capital stock belonging on the
record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the
shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or
indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum
purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.6. <U>Organization</U>. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for
him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it
states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing
revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the
Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be
conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes
of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine.
At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law
or by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, provided that (except as otherwise required by law or by the
certificate of incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any election or
question.

stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or
exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in
advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date
of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:
(1)&nbsp;the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of

entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall

person is a legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was

agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the Corporation in a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the

amended from time to time, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably paid or incurred by such
person in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right that may
be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall include the
right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such person to repay such amount if ultimately it should be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the
generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification
under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this Article.

the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the
Corporation in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, against any expense, liability
or loss asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of any
such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EIGHTH: To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event that either the Corporation or
any stockholder of the Corporation acquires knowledge of any potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter which may be an opportunity for both the Corporation and such
stockholder, neither the Corporation nor such stockholder will have any duty to communicate or
offer such opportunity to the other and such stockholder will not be liable to the Corporation for
breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation will not
be liable to such stockholder, by reason of the fact that the Corporation or such stockholder, as
the case may be, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or does not communicate such
opportunity or information regarding such opportunity to such stockholder or the Corporation, as
the case may be.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for
him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it
states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing
revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the
Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be
conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes
of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine.
At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law
or by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, provided that (except as otherwise required by law or by the
certificate of incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any election or
question.

stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, amend or
repeal Bylaws made by the Board of Directors; and
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 2%">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) from time to time to determine whether and to what extent, at what time and place,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEVENTH:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Every person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or a person of whom such
person is a legal representative is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a director, officer, employee or
agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the Corporation in a partnership, joint
venture, trust or other entity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent legally permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys&#146; fees,
judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably paid or incurred by such
person in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right that may
be enforced in any manner desired by such person. Such right of indemnification shall include the
right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such action, suit or
proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such person to repay such amount if ultimately it should be determined that such person is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
directors, officers or representatives may have or hereafter acquire and, without limiting the
generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification
under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law or otherwise, as well as their
rights under this Article.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Board of Directors may adopt Bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or for its benefit as a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, or as the representative of the
Corporation in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other entity, against any expense, liability
or loss asserted against or incurred by any such person in any such capacity or arising out of any
such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against
such expense, liability or loss.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EIGHTH: To the maximum extent permitted by law, in the event that either the Corporation or
any stockholder of the Corporation acquires knowledge of any potential transaction, agreement,
arrangement or other matter which may be an opportunity for both the Corporation and such
stockholder, neither the Corporation nor such stockholder will have any duty to communicate or
offer such opportunity to the other and such stockholder will not be liable to the Corporation for
breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a stockholder or otherwise, and the Corporation will not
be liable to such stockholder, by reason of the fact that the Corporation or such stockholder, as
the case may be, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself or does not communicate such
opportunity or information regarding such opportunity to such stockholder or the Corporation, as
the case may be.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NINTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision
contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by
statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders, directors and officers herein are granted
subject to this reservation.

as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time. <B>Stockholders may, unless the
certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors;

by such action. </B>Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes
for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any
meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to
each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;1.4. <U>Adjournments</U>. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may
adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be
given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any
business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more
than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting,
a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at
the meeting.

by law or the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of each class of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. For purposes of the foregoing, two or more

on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled

the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including
but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for
him by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date,
unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it
states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not
irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing
revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the
Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be
conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes
of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine.
At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall
be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law
or by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, be decided by the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in
person or by proxy at the meeting, provided that (except as otherwise required by law or by the
certificate of incorporation) the Board of Directors may require a larger vote upon any election or
question.

stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or
exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in
advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date
of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed:
(1)&nbsp;the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of

entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall

misconduct or unlawful conduct; (iv)&nbsp;may, where less than all of the contract may be unenforceable,

Notes, whether or not that person is the holder; (2)&nbsp;neither the holder nor any other person
receiving the Exchange Notes is engaged in, intends to engage in or has an arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate in a &#147;distribution&#148; (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes; and (3)&nbsp;neither the holder nor any other person receiving
the Exchange Notes is an &#147;affiliate&#148; (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of Brown Shoe.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned acknowledges that this Exchange Offer is being made in reliance on
interpretations by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the &#147;SEC,&#148; as set forth
in no-action letters issued to third parties, that the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the
Exchange Offer in exchange for the Original Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise
transferred by holders thereof (other than any such holder that is an &#147;affiliate&#148; of Brown Shoe
within the meaning of Rule&nbsp;405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration
and Prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are
acquired in the ordinary course of such holders&#146; business and such holders have no arrangement with
any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the SEC has not considered the Exchange Offer in the context of a no-action letter,
and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with
respect to the Exchange Offer as in other circumstances. If the undersigned is not a
broker-dealer, the undersigned represents that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage
in, a distribution of Exchange Notes and has no arrangement or understanding to participate in a
distribution of Exchange Notes. If any holder is an affiliate of Brown Shoe, is engaged in or
intends to engage in or has any arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of
the Exchange Notes to be acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offer, such holder (i)&nbsp;could not rely on
the applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC and (ii)&nbsp;must comply with the registration
and Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale
transaction.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in
exchange for Original Notes, it represents that the Original Notes to be exchanged for the Exchange
Notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and
acknowledges that it will deliver a Prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of such Exchange Notes pursuant to
the Exchange Offer. However, by so acknowledging and delivering a Prospectus, the undersigned will
not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; (within the meaning of the Securities Act). Any
such broker-dealer is referred to as a participating broker-dealer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brown Shoe has agreed that, to the extent that any participating broker-dealer participates in
the Exchange Offer, Brown Shoe shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the
effectiveness of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part, referred to as
the exchange offer registration statement, for a period of 180&nbsp;days following the consummation of
the Exchange Offer as the same may be extended as provided in the registration rights agreement,
which is referred to herein as the applicable period. Brown Shoe has also agreed that, subject to
the provisions of the registration rights agreement relating to the Original Notes, the Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, will be made available to participating broker-dealers for use in
connection with offers to resell, resales or retransfers of Exchange Notes received in exchange for
Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer during the applicable period. Brown Shoe will advise
each participating broker-dealer (i)&nbsp;when a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has
been filed or has become effective, (ii)&nbsp;of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to
the registration statement of the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto, (iii)
of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the exchange offer
registration statement or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification
of the Exchange Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction and (iv)&nbsp;of the existence of any
fact or the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the exchange
offer registration statement, the Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto or any document
incorporated by reference therein untrue, or that requires the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any participating broker-dealer by tendering Original Notes and executing this Letter of
Transmittal or effecting delivery of an agent&#146;s message in lieu thereof, agrees that, upon receipt
of notice from Brown Shoe of the existence of any fact of the kind described in (iii)&nbsp;and (iv)
above, such participating broker-dealer will discontinue disposition of the Exchange Notes pursuant
to the exchange offer registration statement until receipt of the amended or supplemented
Prospectus or until Brown Shoe has given notice that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, as
the case may be. If Brown Shoe gives such notice to suspend the sale of the Exchange Notes, it
shall extend the 180-day period referred to above during which participating broker-dealers are
entitled to use the Prospectus in connection with the resale of Exchange Notes by the number of
days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including
the date when participating broker-dealers shall have received copies of the supplemented or
amended Prospectus necessary to permit resales of the Exchange Notes or to and including the date
on which Brown Shoe has given notice that the sale of Exchange Notes may be resumed, as the case
may be.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result, a participating broker-dealer that intends to use the Prospectus in connection
with offers to resell, resales or retransfers of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original
Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer must notify Brown Shoe, or cause Brown Shoe to be notified, on
or prior to the Expiration Date, that it is a participating broker-dealer. Such notice may be
given in the space provided above or may be delivered to the Exchange Agent at the address set
forth in the Prospectus under &#147;The Exchange Offer&#151;Exchange Agent.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by
Brown Shoe to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the
Original Notes tendered hereby.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred herein and every obligation of the

<DIV align="Center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Forming Part&nbsp;Of The Terms And Conditions Of The Exchange Offer</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>1.&nbsp;Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and certificates; guaranteed delivery procedures. </B>This
Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by a holder of Original Notes to tender such holder&#146;s
Original Notes either if (a)&nbsp;certificates are to be forwarded herewith or (b)&nbsp;tenders are to be
made pursuant to the procedures for tender by book-entry transfer set forth in &#147;The Exchange
Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Original Notes&#151;Book-Entry Transfers&#148; in the Prospectus and an
agent&#146;s message, as defined on page 2 hereof, is not delivered. Certificates or book-entry
confirmation of transfer of Original Notes into the Exchange Agent&#146;s account at DTC, as well as
this Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile hereof, properly completed and duly executed, with any
required signature guarantees, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must
be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration
Date. If the tender of Original Notes is effected in accordance with applicable ATOP procedures
for book-entry transfer, an agent&#146;s message may be transmitted to the Exchange Agent in lieu of an
executed Letter of Transmittal. Original Notes may be tendered in whole or in part in minimum
denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the term &#147;holder&#148; includes any participant in DTC named in
a securities position listing as a holder of Original Notes. Only a holder of record may tender
Original Notes in the Exchange Offer. Any beneficial owner of Original Notes who wishes to tender
some or all of such Original Notes should arrange with DTC, a DTC participant or the record owner
of such Original Notes to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal or to send an electronic
instruction effecting a book-entry transfer on his or her behalf. See Instruction 6.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders who wish to tender their Original Notes and (i)&nbsp;whose certificates for the Original
Notes are not immediately available or for whom all required documents are unlikely to reach the
Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date or (ii)&nbsp;who cannot complete the procedures for
delivery by book-entry transfer on a timely basis, may tender their Original Notes by properly
completing and duly executing a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery
procedures set forth in &#147;The Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Original Notes&#151;Guaranteed
Delivery&#148; in the Prospectus. Pursuant to such procedures: (i)&nbsp;such tender must be made by or
through an eligible institution; (ii)&nbsp;a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed
Delivery, substantially in the form made available by Brown Shoe, must be received by the Exchange
Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date; and (iii)&nbsp;the certificates for the Original Notes, or a
book-entry confirmation, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal
or a facsimile hereof, or an agent&#146;s message in lieu thereof, with any required signature
guarantees and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the
Exchange Agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of
such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for all such tendered Original Notes, all as provided in &#147;The
Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Original Notes&#151;Guaranteed Delivery&#148; in the Prospectus.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand, facsimile, mail or overnight
delivery to the Exchange Agent, and must include a guarantee by an eligible institution in the form
set forth in such Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. For Original Notes to be properly tendered
pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedure, the Exchange Agent must receive a Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery on or prior to the Expiration Date. As used herein, &#147;eligible institution&#148;
means a firm or other entity which is identified as an &#147;Eligible Guarantor Institution&#148; in Rule
17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including a bank; a broker, dealer,
municipal securities broker or dealer or government securities broker or dealer; a credit union; a
national securities exchange, registered securities association or clearing agency; or a savings
association.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>The method of delivery of certificates for the Original Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and
all other required documents is at the election and sole risk of the tendering holder. If delivery
is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, or overnight delivery
service is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
No letters of transmittal or Original Notes should be sent to Brown Shoe. Delivery is complete
when the Exchange Agent actually receives the items to be delivered. Delivery of documents to DTC
in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.</B>

holder, by execution of a Letter of Transmittal or a facsimile hereof or by causing the
transmission of an agent&#146;s message, waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of
such tender.

listing as the owner of the Original Notes) of Original Notes tendered herewith, unless such holder

Notes&#148; is inadequate, the certificate number(s) and/or the principal amount of Original Notes and
any other required information should be listed on a separate, signed schedule which is attached to
this Letter of Transmittal.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>4.&nbsp;Partial Tenders (Not Applicable To Holders Who Tender By Book-Entry Transfer). </B>If less
than all the Original Notes evidenced by any certificate submitted are to be tendered, fill in the
principal amount of Original Notes which are to be tendered in the &#147;Principal Amount Tendered&#148;
column of the box entitled &#147;Description of Original Notes&#148; on page 2 of this Letter of Transmittal.
In such case, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the Original Notes that were evidenced by
your old certificate(s) will be sent only to the holder of the Original Notes as promptly as
practicable after the Expiration Date. All Original Notes represented by certificates delivered to
the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. Tender of
Original Notes will be accepted only in minimum denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of
$1,000 in excess thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>5.&nbsp;Withdrawal Rights. </B>Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of Original Notes may be
withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date. In order for a withdrawal to be
effective on or prior to that time, a written notice or facsimile transmission of such notice of
withdrawal must be timely received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth above
and in the Prospectus on or prior to the Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must
specify the name of the person who tendered the Original Notes to be withdrawn, identify the
Original Notes to be withdrawn, including the total principal amount of Original Notes to be
withdrawn, and where certificates for Original Notes are transmitted, the name of the registered
holder of the Original Notes, if different from that of the person withdrawing such Original Notes.
If certificates for the Original Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange
Agent, then the tendering holder must submit the serial numbers of the Original Notes to be
withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible
institution, except in the case of Original Notes tendered for the account of an eligible
institution. If Original Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry
transfer set forth in the Prospectus under &#147;The Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Original
Notes&#151;Book-Entry Transfers,&#148; the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the
account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes and the notice of withdrawal must
be delivered to the Exchange Agent. Withdrawals of tenders of Original Notes may not be rescinded;
however, Original Notes properly withdrawn may again be tendered at any time on or prior to the
Expiration Date by following any of the procedures described in the Prospectus under &#147;The Exchange
Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Original Notes.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All questions regarding the form of withdrawal, validity, eligibility, including time of
receipt, and acceptance of withdrawal notices will be determined by Brown Shoe, in its sole
discretion, which determination of such questions and terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer
will be final and binding on all parties. Neither Brown Shoe, any of its affiliates or assigns,
the Exchange Agent nor any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any
irregularities in any notice of withdrawal, nor will they be liable for failing to give any such
notice.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer through DTC that are withdrawn or not exchanged
for any reason will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. Withdrawn Original Notes will
be returned to the holder after withdrawal. The Original Notes will be returned or credited to the
account maintained at DTC as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or
termination of the Exchange Offer. Any Original Notes which have been tendered for exchange but
which are withdrawn or not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without
cost to such holder.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If any tendered Original Notes are registered in different name(s) on several certificates, it

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the Original Notes

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the
Original Notes listed, the certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers,
signed exactly as the name or names of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates, and
also must be accompanied by such opinions of counsel, certifications and other information as Brown
Shoe or the Trustee may require in accordance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to the
Original Notes. Signatures on such certificates or bond powers must be guaranteed by an eligible
institution.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>7.&nbsp;Special Issuance And Delivery Instructions. </B>If Exchange Notes are to be issued in the name
of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal, or if Exchange Notes are to be
sent to someone other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or to an address other than
that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. In the
case of issuance in a different name, the U.S. taxpayer identification number of the person named
must also be indicated. A holder of Original Notes tendering Original Notes by book-entry transfer
may instruct that Original Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at DTC as
such holder may designate. If no such instructions are given, certificates for Original Notes not
exchanged will be returned by mail to the address of the signer of this Letter of Transmittal or,
if the Original Notes not exchanged were tendered by book-entry transfer, such Original Notes will
be returned by crediting the account indicated on page 3 above maintained at DTC. See Instruction
6.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>8.&nbsp;Irregularities. </B>Brown Shoe will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions regarding
the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for
exchange of any tendered Original Notes, which determination and interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Exchange Offer will be final and binding on all parties. Brown Shoe reserves the
absolute right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reject any tenders determined to be in
improper form or the acceptance of which, or exchange for which, may, in the view of counsel to
Brown Shoe, be unlawful. Brown Shoe also reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law,
to waive any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus under &#147;The
Exchange Offer&#151;Conditions to the Exchange Offer&#148; or any condition or irregularity in any tender of
Original Notes by any holder, whether or not similar conditions or irregularities are waived in the
case of other holders. Brown Shoe&#146;s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange
Offer, including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto, will be final and binding
on all parties. A tender of Original Notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have
been cured or waived. Neither Brown Shoe, any of its affiliates or assigns, the Exchange Agent nor
any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders
nor will they be liable for failure to give any such notice.

numbers indicated above, or from your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>10.&nbsp;Backup Withholding; Substitute </B><B>Form W-9</B><B>; </B><B>Form W-8</B><B>. </B>Under the United States federal income
tax laws, interest paid to holders of Exchange Notes received pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be
subject to backup withholding. Generally, such payments will be subject to backup withholding
unless the holder (i)&nbsp;is exempt from backup withholding or (ii)&nbsp;furnishes the payer with its
correct taxpayer identification number (&#147;TIN&#148;) and provides certain certifications. If backup
withholding applies, Brown Shoe may be required to withhold at the applicable rate on interest
payments made to a holder of Exchange Notes. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather,
the amount of backup withholding is treated as an advance payment of a tax liability, and a
holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If
withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the holder from the
Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To avoid backup withholding, a holder should notify the Exchange Agent of its correct TIN by
completing the Substitute Form W-9 below and certifying on Substitute Form W-9 that the TIN
provided is correct (or that the holder is awaiting a TIN). In addition, a holder is required to
certify on Substitute Form W-9 that (i)&nbsp;the holder is exempt from backup withholding, or (ii)&nbsp;the
holder has not been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding as a result of a
failure to report all interest or dividends, or (iii)&nbsp;the IRS has notified the holder that the
holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. Consult the enclosed <I>Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute </I><I>Form W-9</I> for guidelines on completing
the Substitute Form W-9. If the Exchange Agent is provided with an incorrect TIN or the holder
makes false statements resulting in no backup withholding, the holder may be subject to penalties
imposed by the IRS.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain foreign individuals) may be
exempt from these backup withholding requirements. See the enclosed <I>Guidelines for Certification
of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute </I><I>Form W-9</I> for further information regarding exempt
holders. Exempt holders should furnish their TIN, check the box in Part&nbsp;4 of the Substitute Form
W-9, and sign, date and return the Substitute Form W-9 to the Exchange Agent. If the holder is a
nonresident alien or foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, such holder should submit an
appropriate completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to the holder&#146;s
foreign status, instead of the Substitute Form W-9.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>11.&nbsp;Waiver Of Conditions. </B>Brown Shoe reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any
or all conditions, completely or partially, enumerated in the Prospectus.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>12.&nbsp;No Conditional Tenders. </B>No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be
accepted. All tendering holders of Original Notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal,
shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of Original Notes for exchange.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;None of Brown Shoe, the Exchange Agent or any other person is obligated to give notice of any
defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of Original Notes nor shall any of them incur any
liability for failure to give any such notice.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>13.&nbsp;Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed Or Stolen Certificates. </B>If any certificate(s) representing
Original Notes have been mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen, the holder should promptly notify
the Exchange Agent. The holder will then be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order
to replace the certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be
processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen certificate(s) have been
followed.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>14.&nbsp;Security Transfer Taxes. </B>Except as provided below, holders who tender their Original
Notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If,
however, (i)&nbsp;Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person
other than the registered holder of the Original Notes tendered, (ii)&nbsp;tendered Original Notes are
registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this Letter of Transmittal, or
(iii)&nbsp;a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Original Notes in
connection with the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer tax (whether imposed on
the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. The Exchange
Agent must receive satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom at the
time the holder submits this Letter of Transmittal or effecting an agent&#146;s message in lieu thereof
or the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct
Taxpayer Identification Number (&#147;TIN&#148;) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate
transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property,
cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA. Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S.
person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the requester (the person
requesting your TIN) and, when applicable, (1)&nbsp;to certify the TIN you are giving is correct (or you
are waiting for a number to be issued), (2)&nbsp;to certify you are not subject to backup withholding,
or (3)&nbsp;to claim exemption from backup withholding if you are an exempt payee. The TIN provided
must match the name given on the Substitute Form W-9.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>How to Get a TIN</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, obtain Form SS-5,
Application for a Social Security Card, at the local office of the Social Security Administration
or get this form on-line at <U>www.ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf</U>. You may also get this form by calling
1-800-772-1213. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at
<U>www.irs.gov/businesses</U> and clicking on Employer ID Numbers under Business Topics. Use Form W-7,
Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4,
Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4
from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676) or from the IRS web site at www.irs.gov.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">If you do not have a TIN, check the &#147;Applied For&#148; box in Part&nbsp;3, sign and date the form, and give
it to the payer. Also sign and date the &#147;Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number.&#148;
For interest and dividend payments and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable
instruments, you will generally have 60&nbsp;days to get a TIN and give it to the payer. If the payer
does not receive your TIN within 60&nbsp;days, backup withholding, if applicable, will begin and
continue until you furnish your TIN.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Note: Checking the &#147;Applied For&#148; box on the form means that you have already applied for a TIN OR
that you intend to apply for one soon. As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Form W-9,
include your TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the payer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>CAUTION: </B>A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Payees Exempt from Backup Withholding</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Individuals (including sole proprietors) are NOT exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are
exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Note: If you are exempt from backup withholding, you should still complete Substitute Form W-9 to
avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. If you are exempt, enter your name and correct TIN in
Part&nbsp;1, check the &#147;Exempt&#148; box in Part&nbsp;4, and sign and date the form. If you are a nonresident
alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate
completed Form W-8, Certificate of Foreign Status.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following is a list of payees that may be exempt from backup withholding and for which no
information reporting is required. For interest and dividends, all listed payees are exempt except
for those listed in item (9). For broker transactions, payees listed in (1)&nbsp;through (5)&nbsp;and (7)
through (13)&nbsp;and C corporations and any person registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940
who regularly acts as a broker are exempt. Payments subject to reporting under sections 6041 and
6041A are generally exempt from backup withholding only if made to payees described in items (1)
through (7). However, the following payments made to a corporation (including gross proceeds paid
to an attorney under section 6045(f), even if the attorney is a corporation) and reportable on Form
1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: (i)&nbsp;medical and health care payments, (ii)
attorneys&#146; fees, and (iii)&nbsp;payments for services paid by a federal executive agency. Only payees
described in items (1)&nbsp;through (5)&nbsp;are exempt from backup withholding for barter exchange
transactions and patronage dividends.
