TORONTO, Sept. 23 /CNW/ - As part of the launch of the Nine West Vintage America Collection in Canada, Sherson Group and Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity are partnering to collect gently worn footwear to benefit those in need.  From September 24, 2010 through October 10, 2010, customers who bring a pair of gently worn shoes into any Nine West, Nine West Shoe Studio and Madison Shoes & Accessories retail store nationwide will receive $20 off any purchase of $100 or more.  All participating stores will donate the recycled shoes directly to Soles4Souls.

In keeping with the authentic spirit of the Nine West Vintage America Collection, Sherson Group is proud to support Soles4Souls and help those in need worldwide with the gift of shoes. Sherson Group and Soles4Souls will work together to raise awareness and inspire others to make a contribution.
