NOTES:

(1)  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
     recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
     have been made. The results of operations for the three months or nine
     months ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of results
     for the full year. 

(2)  Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of
     common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent
     shares consist of stock options which have a dilutive effect when applying
     the treasury stock method and are considered when material.  The Company
     intends to adopt Statement of Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per
     Share," for the year ended December 31, 1997 and will restate prior
     period earnings per share as required.  The adoption of this standard is
     not expected to have a material impact on previously reported earnings per
     share.

(3)  The Company has entered into forward exchange contracts for the purpose
     of hedging firmly committed inventory purchases with outside vendors.  The 
     Company accounts for these contracts under the deferral method. 
     Accordingly, gains and losses are recorded in inventory when the inventory
     is purchased.

(4)  On July 21, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 200% stock
     dividend on the Company's Common Stock, $1.00 par value, and on the
     Company's Class B Common Stock, $1.00 par value, so as to effect a
     three-for-one stock split without a change in par value.  The additional
     shares were mailed October 1, 1997, to shareholders of record on September
     2, 1997. Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding  
     on the Statements of Earnings have been restated for prior periods to
     reflect this stock dividend.



Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

     Liquidity

     The Company's primary source of liquidity is its cash and marketable
     securities which aggregated approximately $38,011,000 at September 30,
     1997, compared with $31,457,000 at December 31, 1996.  In addition, the
     Company maintains a $7,500,000 bank line of credit and has banker
     acceptance loan facilities to provide funds on a short-term basis when
     necessary.  The Company did not make any borrowings under these facilities
     during the first nine months of 1997.


                                      -4-

     The Company has historically generated adequate cash flow from operations
     to meet working capital requirements.  The Company believes that available
     cash and marketable securities, cash provided from operations and
     available borrowing facilities will provide adequate support for the cash
     needs of the business.

     In April, 1997, the Company announced its plan to build a 370,000 square
     foot building in Glendale, Wisconsin, to house its corporate offices and
     warehouse and distribution facilities.  The building is scheduled to open
     by the end of 1998. The estimated cost of the building and related
     equipment is $12 million.

Results of Operations

     Total net sales increased $1,118,000 (3%) for the three months ended
     September 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996.  Net sales in the
     wholesale division increased $1,246,000 (4%) from $32,884,000 in 1996 to
     $34,130,000 in 1997.   The increase in sales resulted from an increase
     of 3% in the number of pairs of shoes shipped as compared with 1996, as
     well as an increase in the average selling price per pair, attributed to a
     change in product mix.

     Retail net sales decreased 7% from $1,980,000 in the third quarter of 1996
     to $1,852,000 in the third quarter of 1997.   The decrease resulted
     primarily from the closing of 4 retail units during 1997.  Same store net
     sales increased 8% from 1996 to 1997 due to increased volume.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net sales were flat compared
     with the same period in 1996.  Wholesale sales increased $1,700,000 or 2%  
     from $91,795,000 in 1996 to $93,495,000 in 1997.  This increase resulted
     primarily from an increase in the average selling price per pair,
     attributed to a change in product mix.  Retail net sales decreased
     $2,016,000 (24%) from $8,377,000 in 1996 to $6,361,000 in 1997, as a result
     of the closing of 13 retail units during 1996 and 4 retail units during
     1997.  Same store net sales were up 13% as compared with the same period in
     1996.

     Overall gross earnings as a percent of net sales was 27% for the third
     quarter of 1996 and 1997, as well as for the nine months ended September
     30, 1997.  Gross earnings as a percent of net sales was 26% for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996.  Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of
     wholesale net sales was 26% for the third quarter of 1996 and 1997, as well
     as the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and was 25% for the nine
     months ended September 30,1996. Retail net earnings as a percent of
     retail net sales was consistent between the third quarter of 1996 and 1997
     at  50%, and increased from 46% for the nine months ended September 30,
     1996 to 49% for the same period in 1997, primarily due to a $600,000 charge
     made to retail cost of sales during the first quarter of 1996 for the
     closing of retail units.

Overall selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales was
consistent at 16% for the third quarter of 1996 and 1997.  For the nine months
ended September 30, selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net
sales decreased from 18% in 1996 to 17% in 1997.   Wholesale selling and
administrative expenses as a percent of wholesale net sales between the third
quarter of 1996 and 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997
was consistent at 15%.  Retail selling and administrative expenses as a
percent of retail net sales decreased from 56% in the third quarter of 1996 to
52% in the third quarter of 1997, and from 52% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 to 49% for the same period in 1997.  The decreases noted in
the retail figures resulted from the closing of less profitable retail units
during 1996 and 1997.  Sales at the remaining retail stores have increased in
relation to occupancy and employee expenses.

Interest and other income consists principally of interest income from fixed
rate short term investments.
