Through its “Be The Designer” contest, the national family footwear retailer is once again engaging with its customers and their families – by giving them the opportunity to become an official shoe designer for the brand.

“It has always been important for us to find ways to interact with our customers. We truly enjoy learning about each the families who shop our stores and their unique talents, interests and passions,” said Rack Room Shoes

Senior Director of Marketing Jan Mauldin. “Through the ‘Be The Designer’ contest, we’re providing an interactive experience and a glimpse into what it’s like to design a shoe and name a brand.”
