Strategic Vision:

Several years ago we charted a course to establish the world’s premier non-athletic footwear company. To reach this vision, we developed a plan based on the tenets of product innovation, global expansion, brand development, service excellence and community service- with the end goal of delivering superior shareholder returns. We are pleased to report that our record 2004 performance is a direct result of the execution of that plan.
