Style Relish: Williams Shoes goes to Las Vegas!

Buying trips, as previously mentioned in our interview with the president, can be one of the most rewarding, scary, exciting, fun, overwhelming and exhausting (among many other adjectives) experiences in retail. We recently went to Las Vegas for one of the biggest shoe conventions in the country. Due to the joys of modern day air travel as well as beautiful Chicago weather (sarcasm) our flight took off late and we didn't get to our hotel until 2:30 a.m.

We were up bright and early the next day for the first day of the show starting at 9:00 and working until 7:00.  We walked all day (and the next two) looking for the perfect concoction of style, comfort, price-point, ingenuity, practicality and sass.  It sounds a bit tricky doesn't it?  Well, it is.  On top of finding that perfect recipe throw in hundreds and hundreds of vendors each showing hundreds of styles of shoes and you got yourself a challenge.  Nonetheless it is wonderful and exciting and fun.  Seeing the styles for Fall 2013 feels like seeing a blockbuster movie before it has hit the theatre.  We love imagining our different customers becoming excited just like we are over an amazing shoe with that perfect combination mentioned above. 

We take great pride in the selection we offer and having things that make women's wardrobes functional and stylish all at reasonable prices. We think about what outfits you can wear these shoes with and how having a shoe that fits properly and well can make all the difference at the end of the day when you are tired and weary.  Trust us, we know, we too have been on our feet all day. Take a look at a few pics below to see some of how the trip went!
