FAQ's
|
| By
attending this event, I acknowledge that shoe shopping
can be an inherently strenuous activity and that no event
is without risk. I also acknowledge that when high quality
footwear is heavily discounted shoe shoppers can become
overly zealous and may run, push or shove - while this
behavior is not tolerated it unfortunately does happen
quite frequently. I have consulted with my physician regarding
my physical capability to participate in this event and
am following my physicians advice. I here by waiver all
claims against Shoe Frenzy, Women's Clinic & Family
Counseling Center, all event sponsors and volunteers,
the City of Culver City, the Veteran's Memorial Complex,
and any personnel functioning with respect to the event
for any injury, accidents, or physical conditions I might
suffer in this event. I grant full permission for organizers
to use my name, likeness, or voice and photographs, videotapes,
or quotations from me in accounts and promotions in any
medium of this event, and of the activities of Women's
Clinic & Family Counseling Center. This permission
is perpetual and worldwide. |

Why
do your donors sometimes change from year to year?
We appeal to many designers and brands. Their ability
to participate in Shoe Frenzy is usually based on their
inventory or their company policies. If your favorite
brand is not featured, it does not necessarily mean that
they do not support Shoe Frenzy or other worthy causes.
It may mean simply that they had no inventory to donate. |

How
many shoes are there?
Each year Shoe Frenzy features thousands of pairs of shoes.
|
| |
What
if I need a certain size or style?
The selection at Shoe Frenzy is on a first come, first
served basis. Since the shoes we receive are selected
by the donor, certain styles and sizes may be limited
due to the quantity donated. |

If people enter the auditorium CALMLY - then we will be

be able to keep letting more shoppers in there is no loitering
in the venue, you will be asked to leave after you have
made your selection. If you have a friend that may take
longer to shop please make arrangements to meet them OUTSIDE
the venue when they are done. This will be strictly enforced
so that we can keep the line of people moving into the
venue. We want everyone to have the opportunity to shop. |
|
If
I'm towards the end of the line, will there be anything
left when I get in?
Stock is available on a first come, first serve basis,
some selection is limited in certain sizes. Whether or
not you will find a pair you really want is based on the
number of pairs the people in front of you purchased,
your personal taste in shoes, and your shoe size. Sometimes
the last people in line find shoes they love, while someone
who came in earlier did not. |
|
Is
there a limit to the number of shoes that I can purchase?
No. You may purchase as many pairs as you like. |
|
How
much are the shoes discounted?
All shoes are discounted 50-90% off retail prices. The
rule created over ten years ago was that all shoes were
always priced $50 or less, as of Shoe Frenzy 2005 all
shoes will be priced $100 or less. This rise in the price
limit reflects the higher quality of footwear now available,
Shoe Frenzy features some shoes with retail prices well
over $500. Additionally as the need for low-cost health
care for the uninsured continues to rise, so does the
need to raise more funds. Please remember all proceeds
benefit Women's Clinic and Family Counseling Center. |
