(As filed with the SEC)  

Brown Shoe Company, Inc., founded in 1878 and incorporated in 1913, operates in the footwear industry. Current activities include the operation of retail shoe stores and e-commerce websites as well as the sourcing and marketing of footwear for women, men and children. Our business is seasonal in nature due to consumer spending patterns, with higher back-to-school and Christmas and Easter holiday season sales. Traditionally, the third fiscal quarter accounts for a substantial portion of our earnings for the year. During 2010, categories of our consolidated net sales were approximately 62% women's footwear, 23% men's footwear, 11% children's footwear and 4% accessories. This composition has remained relatively constant over the past few years.  ... More ...
