PEDORS ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW PEDORS STRETCH WALKER™

Marietta, GA, August 10th 2007. After two years in research and development Pedors, the orthopedic and diabetic shoe manufacturing company, launch their new Stretch Walker line. The extra depth walking shoe with 5/16th-inch removable insoles comes with Vibram® soling for traction control comfort and durability, and the Pedors signature feature of a seamless stretchable neoprene forefoot.

"We're very excited about the launch of this new line as the feedback we've had from the footwear professionals that have helped us in development has been extremely positive. We feel it is a unique offering in the orthopedic and diabetic footwear marketplace" said Stephen O'Hare, President and co-founder of Pedors Shoes.

The line is targeted at an expanding population demographic as the incidence of diabetes continues to rise and is becoming more prevalent within the so-called "baby-boomer" generation.

The stretch walking shoe has been developed to promote the "Let's Walk" concept introduced by Pedors to promote a proactive prophylactic approach diabetic weight management.

"Whereas before we had shoes for diabetic foot care management, we wanted the company to grow and evolve to offer a product line that encourages patients to be more compliant in wearing accommodative, comfortable diabetic footwear that helps them get more active as they manage their life health plan. We think this line of walkers accomplishes that goal" added O'Hare.

The Stretch Walker line has a wholesale price of $48 with volume discounts available and a MSRP of $120.
