Spare Soles® Named as Finalist for Stevie® Awards for Best Young Entrepreneur and Most Innovative Company of the Year
Encinitas, CA, October 17, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Spare Soles, with its fashionable and simple solution to a universal problem for women, has been named as a finalist for this years Stevie Awards in both the categories of Best Young Entrepreneur and Most Innovative Company of the Year- up to 100 employees. The winners of the award will be announced November 14, at an awards banquet in New York.
Spare Soles was founded in early 2007, by the mother of both a toddler and a newborn. Andrea Weisner was tired of unbearably uncomfortable high heels, which caused her to dance barefoot at weddings and walk shoeless through airports, hotels and parking lots. After careful consideration and planning, she created an ingenious solution with Spare Soles.
“Being chosen as a finalist for The Stevie Awards makes all those late nights worthwhile,” said Weisner who regularly burns the midnight oil to get her work done while the rest of her family sleeps, “all successful companies are looking to grow and certainly getting this kind of recognition helps both by drawing attention to our products and keeping me motivated.”
The preliminary judging was done by an international group of business professionals and the winners will be chosen by Members of the Awards’ Board of Distinguished Judges and Advisors along with their staff. Visit www.stevieawards.com/women to see a complete list of the finalists.
