| The North Face gets really serious about footwear for spring 2008
Jun 11, 2007 When The North Face launched into outdoor footwear in 1999, it was with the realization the company had to do more than dabble and it could not offer product that was just me-too, or, company President Steve Rendle told SNEWS®, TNF couldn't expect dealers to support the line. While progress has been good, and various shoe awards from national and international magazines served as evidence of that, Rendle told us that the company realized by 2003 it had to bring all of its footwear design in-house to accomplish its goals of innovation, quality and to-market efficiency. After several reorganizations of the department since then, enter Barry McGeough, vice president of footwear for The North Face, who joined the company from Deckers in early 2006. In just 11 months, the footwear team now boasts 14 full-time staff, including three product line managers, five product developers and five in-house designers.
