                                  May 27, 1998



Dear Shareholder:

     Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
of your Company, originally scheduled for Friday, May 29, 1998, has been
rescheduled for Friday, June 26, 1998 at 4:00 p.m., at the Wynfrey Hotel, 1000
Riverchase Galleria, Birmingham, Alabama.

     The rescheduling is due solely to the Company's transfer agent furnishing
to the Company an inaccurate list of shareholders of record which resulted in
certain shareholders not receiving timely notice of the meeting.

     A new Notice of the Rescheduled Annual Meeting and a Proxy Statement
Supplement appear on the following pages.  Other than the matters discussed in
the attached Proxy Statement Supplement, the original proxy statement provided
to you accurately describes the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

     We now enclose a new blue proxy card and return envelope for your use.  YOU
MUST COMPLETE THE NEW BLUE PROXY CARD IN ORDER FOR YOUR VOTE TO BE COUNTED, EVEN
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED.  Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting in
person, it is important that your shares be represented and voted.

     We appreciate your immediate action in this important matter.


                                    Sincerely,


                                    /s/ Harold Ruttenberg

                   RESCHEDULED ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                                 June 26, 1998

                 ----------------------------------------------
                         SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
                 ----------------------------------------------


    This document supplements the proxy statement originally mailed to
shareholders on or about April 24, 1998, in connection with the solicitation of
proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Just For Feet, Inc. (the
"Company") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company.  Except
as provided in this Supplement, the original proxy statement accurately
describes the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.  The proxy
statement provided that the Annual Meeting was to be held on Friday, May 29,
1998.  As a result of the Company's transfer agent's furnishing the Company an
incomplete list of shareholders, and in order to give all shareholders an ample
opportunity to vote their shares, the Annual Meeting has been rescheduled for
Friday, June 26, 1998 at 4:00 p.m., at the Wynfrey Hotel, 1000 Riverchase
Galleria, Birmingham, Alabama.

    Enclosed with this Supplement is a new blue proxy card reflecting the date
of the rescheduled meeting and the location change, as well as a return envelope
for your use.  SHAREHOLDERS  MUST COMPLETE THE NEW BLUE PROXY CARD IN ORDER FOR
THEIR VOTES TO BE COUNTED, EVEN IF THEY HAVE ALREADY VOTED.  Any proxy given
pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by any shareholder who attends the
meeting and gives oral notice of his election to vote in person, without
compliance with any other formalities.  In addition, any proxy given pursuant to
this solicitation may be revoked prior to the meeting by delivering to the
Secretary of the Company an instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy for
the same shares bearing a later date.

    Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 17, 1998 (the
"Record Date") will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting
or any adjournments thereof.  As of April 17, 1998, the Company had outstanding
30,090,947 shares of Common Stock.  Each share of Common Stock issued and
outstanding on such record date is entitled to one vote.

    This Supplement is first being mailed to shareholders on or about May 27,
1998.

corporation on its principal bank loans, or, if none, at a rate that is fair and
equitable under all circumstances.

or she asserts dissenters' rights. The rights of a partial dissenter under this
subsection are determined as if the shares to which he or she dissents and his
or her other shares were registered in the names of different shareholders.

    (b) A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to shares held
on his or her behalf only if:

of his or her shares and amount of interest due, and demand payment of his or

petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by
publication as provided under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure.

    (d) After service is completed, the corporation shall deposit with the clerk

party to the action in an amount per share equal to its prior estimate of fair
value, plus accrued interest, under Section 10-2B-13.25.

    (e) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under
subsection (b) is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more
persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question
of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing
them, or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same
discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

    (f) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment
for the amount the court finds to be the fair value of his or her shares, plus
accrued interest. If the court's determination as to the fair value of a
dissenter's shares, plus accrued interest, is higher than the amount estimated
by the corporation and deposited with the clerk of the court pursuant to
subsection (d), the corporation shall pay the excess to the dissenting
shareholder. If the court's determination as to fair value, plus accrued
interest, of a dissenter's shares is less than the amount estimated by the
corporation and deposited with the clerk of the court pursuant to subsection
(d), then the clerk shall return the balance of funds deposited, less any costs
under Section 10-2B-13.31, to the corporation.

    (g) Upon payment of the judgment, and surrender to the corporation of the
certificate or certificates

representing the appraised shares, a dissenting shareholder ceases to have any
interest in the shares. (Acts 1994, No. 94-245, p. 343 Sec. 1.)

SEC. 10-2B-13.31. COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES.

    (a) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under Section 10-2B-13.30
shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including compensation and expenses
of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against
the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of
the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court
finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in
demanding payment under Section 10-2B-13.28.

    (b) The court may also assess the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

         (1) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if
the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the
requirements of Sections 10-2B-13.20 through 10-2B-13.28; or

         (2) Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any
other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and
expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with
respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

    (c) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were
of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees
for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may
award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the
dissenters who were benefitted (Acts 1994, No. 94-245, p. 343 Sec. 1.)

SEC. 10-2B-13.32. STATUS OF SHARES AFTER PAYMENT.

    Shares acquired by a corporation pursuant to payment of the agreed value
therefor or to payment of the judgment entered therefor, as in this chapter
provided, may be held and disposed of by such corporation as in the case of
other treasury shares, except that, in the case of a merger or share exchange,
they may be held and disposed of as the plan of merger or share exchange may
otherwise provide. (Acts 1994, No. 94-245, p. 343 Sec. 1.)
