by Alan Lugo
I would like to introduce our newest Shoebizness.com contributor, Alan Lugo. Alan is a designer at Hush Puppies/Wolverine World Wide and he stumbled across Shoebizness thanks to William Weiss. He sent me an interesting email asking me “where are my men’s designer contributors”? Well, I had just finished discussing with someone how I wished designers were as outgoing as sales reps because I de…
