I want to congratulate Rack Room and Stride Rite Childrens Group for earning FDRAs 2012 Sales Survey Awards for being the top national footwear sellers in their respective categories.  What a great accomplishment for these industry leaders.  FDRA also recognized Payless ShoeSource as FDRAs Advocate of the Year for their tireless efforts in Washington, DC to lower footwear duties on behalf of consumers and the industry.  said FDRA President Matt Priest.
