CHICAGO: 26-yr old FEMALE ENTREPRENEUR & SHOE DESIGNER CONNECTS to HER "BIG FOOT"
NICHE with NEW ECOMMERCE SITE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

After the large response from tall women with large feet, Kathryn Kerrigan, Inc. has
launched the company's first e-commerce website (www.kathrynkerrigan.com) that
includes online shopping & new styles for Summer 2006. In an effort to create
beautiful, elegant shoes for women with larger feet, Kathryn Kerrigan launched
Kathryn Kerrigan, Inc. a new shoe design, distribution and retail business that
focuses on shoes for taller women. Kerrigan who stands 6 feet tall, is an avid
athlete and wears a size 11 shoe. "Try walking into any designer shoe store and
finding a beautiful shoe in a size 12. It's embarrassing and it should not be."
Kerrigan said. Women with larger feet can purchase fashionable, trendy shoes with
online shopping, now available at www.kathrynkerrigan.com.

She adds that "Most of my girlfriends from college basketball are 6' or taller. We
were able to wear our basketball shoes or flip flops while on the road. We are now
part of a new generation of very tall women who want to look, and feel, elegant -
"Elegance Reborn". We now are businesswomen, trendsetters and mothers. When we go
out, we want wear elegant, flirty designer shoes in our sizes - 11, 12 and 13."
Most shoe retailers and designers have not kept pace with the demand for elegant
shoes in larger sizes. By simply stocking more large sizes, retailers could boost
their annual revenue and embrace an emerging market.

Kathryn Kerrigan shoes focus on high quality, large size women's shoes. "We like to
say our shoes are for women who want to stand tall in a crowd," joked Kerrigan.

Kathryn Kerrigan launched her first collection at the World Shoe Association Show, a

Tribune. June 2006 marks the inception of Kerrigan's flagship store on Chicago's
