Okay, I went to Shoe Carnival today and they had some nice styles. :)

But it was interesting because I saw some brands that I knew, but it seemed like they were marketed for "lower end" stores like Shoe Carnival.

For example... I LOVE Nina shoes. Well here, the brand was "The Touch of Nina."

There was another brand I can't remember, but it was Something by Aerosoles.

Do shoe companies do this often? Make lower-end versions of their shoes for lower-end stores? And are these shoes considered to be of lesser quality?

The "Touch of Nina" shoes looked a little bit more cheap than the regular Nina shoes, to me.

Thanks for the answer! I'm curious about the most mundane things! :)


So those shoes are really of lower quality, huh? I'm all for a deal, but if "Touch of Nina" heels are gonna fall off while I'm walking while "Nina" heels stay attached.... well... I know what I'll do! ;)

Oh, and I went to the websites of these brands and they don't mention their el cheapo lines... hmmm.... :D
