Steve and Barry? Steve and Barry?

Really?

And you want me to put my precious fruit of my loin into shoes that are from a company named Steve and Barry? NPR, you have really reached your tentacles too far this time.

I actually had a pair of Steve and Barry shoes that I loved and wore for like 3 years straight before the sole started falling apart too much. They were really comfortable too.

From the description: "so you can continue to enjoy the hottest fab fashion apparel and accessories." I doubt what was "hot" in 2009 (if anything Steve and Barry's sold was EVER hot) would be considered hot three years later.

I don't really ever comment here, but i cant resist the urge to make this comment

I find it offensive to every1 that knows/knew about what Steve+Barry's was, their intelligence, that this company is tryin 2 push this off as a "half off" sale.

have people forgotten EVERYTHING in Steve+Barry's was 9.99 w/the exception of the Marbury, Sarah Jessica Parker n Amanda Bynes stuff, which was like 14.99?

So how is $9.99 a "deal" when these shoes at Steve+Barry's NEW were.... $9.99?

So this company bought out stock from Steve + Barry's, prolly at a SUBSTANCIAL discount off the ORIGINAL $9.99 price... marked up the stuff to THREE TIMES how much it was ORGINALLY (Compare at $29.99), and they are now doing us a HUGE FAVOR and selling it for $9.99 (the original Steve + Barry's Price) trying to sell us on how its a "discount" yet could've STILL charged us HALF the $9.99 (4.99) so we GOT it for $9.99 (addin in $5 for shipping) n STILL prolly made a load of money? yea rite. F ur greedy company.

@mortar235: what i remember, which some of the other commenters here have it seems, was how high the quality of their stuff was for the price. I still have alot of the steve and barrys stuff i bought, and its STILL holding up well. A good example, everyonce in a while ill run across a Starbury jersey at goodwill, and im AMAZED at the level of quality for 15, as opposed to the "replica jerseys" for almost 70.

This is "preaching to the choir" here, but we all on woot LOVE a great deal. I, like you, feel like their business in THIS economy would be doing AMAZING. People who wanted a good quality product for an inexpensive price LOVED S+B. problem is alot of the public is "too good" to shop at stores like that. ATM im saving for a wedding AND a house. I buy from Dollar Tree or 99 Cent Only stores as much as possible. ill never understand why people would pay 3.59 for something when they can get it at dollar tree for a buck. Sadly S+B suffered from that. wish it was still around.

@bluetoiletduck: I think the point is that S&B's could AFFORD to sell stuff at those prices. I don't think it was because people were too good for the place. It was always packed in there when we shopped.

@bluetoiletduck: As @tsfisch stated my point was that S&B could not afford to continue selling products as cheap as they had been and their customers refused to accept any increases in price even with celebrity endorsements. Their inventory turnover was spectacular I am sure but the profit margins were anemic and there was no room for sustainable growth for S&B or even the ability to break even for most stores. I loved S&B, but the place was destined for failure once they started undercutting themselves.
