Peter Edison, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Bakers Footwear Group, Inc., said: "We were disappointed with our fourth quarter sales results as we were unable to match the strong boot and bootie sales of 2005. We believe we have taken the necessary markdowns on our seasonal assortments in January to end the year in a clean inventory position. This allows us to begin fiscal 2007 with our stores well positioned to receive fresh spring product."
