New Italian Collection of Boots and Casual Footwear

Places First With Consumers at The Lake Placid Horse Show

San Jose, CA (July 17, 2001) – LANDI FOOTWEAR & ACCESSORIES WORLDWIDE has seen a spectacular reaction from consumers and dealers alike since first introducing the collection of riding boots, half chaps, and casual footwear earlier this year. LANDI was one of the main sponsors at this year’s exciting Supracor $50,000 Grand Prix. Among the attendees were key footwear insiders, and horse enthusiasts, Kenneth Cole and Sam Edelman of Sam & Libby and a member of the Lake Placid Horse Club. The LANDI sponsored riders at this year’s event included: Marcia Kulak and James Lala.

LANDI received rave reviews from all of the consumers that attended this year’s event. Stan Klatka, marketing manager at LANDI hosted a gala event the evening prior to the big Grand Prix for all riders and guests. Stan Klatka states, “All who attended had a great time at the function, we especially enjoyed the opportunity to show our guests the wonderful LANDI collection and explain all of the styling, quality, and comfort features in our premier designer collection of fine Italian footwear.”

The LANDI brand is a fine collection of equestrian performance and fashion footwear featuring SUPRACOR honeycomb comfort technology, the same technology that is featured in the award-winning Cool Grip Saddle Pads from Supracor Equestrian Products. Many influential fashion and trade publications have most recently focused on “equestrian fashion” as being again in vogue and one of the top trends.

LANDI is 100% Made in Italy with only the finest Italian-tanned full grain leathers and proprietary components throughout. The comfort technology is Made in the USA, and supplied by Supracor, who previously supplied Reebok with similar technology used in their footwear for several years. LANDI has utilized the SUPRACOR technology in a more effective and efficient manner, making the LANDI Collection the most comfortable footwear available anywhere today. LANDI Footwear is manufactured with an eye towards only the most beautiful styling in equestrian-inspired footwear in the world, combined with the superior quality LANDI demands in every pair of its footwear. LANDI is rapidly becoming a premier “designer brand” sought out by discriminating clientele.

LANDI has been well received by retail buyers and consumers alike. The brand has met with rave reviews, and has been a key sponsor at many top equestrian events, including: The Rolex Four Star Three-Day Event, The Commonwealth International Three-Day Event, The Wayne Horse Trials, The Menlo Charity Horse Show, The Lake Placid Horse Show, and The Hampton Classic.

LANDI is a fine collection of equestrian performance and fashion footwear featuring Supracor honeycomb technology, and is available at fine retailers throughout the USA.
