Step up for MS in Vail

VAIL – Colorado Footwear will hold The 3rd annual Stepping Up for MS — The Shoe Sale with Soul at the International Bridge in Vail Village on Saturday. One hundred percent of the proceeds benefit the Edwards-based Heuga Center for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The sale will feature shoes marked 50 to 70 percent off the retail price.

Colorado Footwear owners Sally and Steve Rosenthal say the sale is just a small step towards helping improve the lives of people living with MS.

“We decided to get involved after hearing about The Heuga Center’s individualized approach to teaching people with MS how to manage this unpredictable disease,” Sally said. The money raised by the sale goes to fund scholarships for participants of the Center’s programs. Last year’s sale raised over $9,000 and this year we expect to top $12,000. And the people buying the shoes really get amazing deals.”

The sale starts at 10 a.m. and continues until all shoes are sold. Some of the name brands featured are Steve Madden, Puma, Cole Haan, Born, Pikolinos, as well as exclusive Italian Colorado Footwear brands.
