About the Company
With the most loved labels, sought-after styles and hard-to-find sizes, ShoeBuy has helped millions of shoppers find their perfect match since 2000. Offering more than a million products to choose from across more than 1,200 brands, ShoeBuy makes it easy for shoppers to find their faves fast or peruse until their hearts delight in its endless selection of shoes, clothing, bags, and accessories. ShoeBuy launched in 2000 with a vision ahead of its time, and in 2006 was acquired by IAC (Nasdaq: IACI), which owns other leading internet properties including Ask.com, Match.com, Vimeo, HomeAdvisor and Citysearch. Maintaining partnerships with more than 1,250 top footwear, clothing and accessory brands and carrying more than 1,000,000 products, ShoeBuy is one of the largest e-Commerce retailers focused on footwear, accessories and related categories. ShoeBuy is ranked as one of the top e-tailers by Internet Retailer, and has enjoyed stellar annual growth since its inception. ShoeBuy has the advantages of being a leading company in a well-established and growing industry, with the backing of a large parent company, yet still enjoys many of the benefits more typical of start-up culture including: the ability to quickly make an impact, create/change process, influence key strategic decisions, an open-door management style, casual dress, and smart co-workers who are passionate about success and growth. IAC and ShoeBuy see getting top talent into key roles as a critical objective in order to lay the groundwork for even stronger future growth.
