Vionic Shoes Partners with Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) to Launch Limited Edition Capsule Collection During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

The stylish capsule collection will raise life-saving funds for Breast Cancer research throughout the month of October

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting Oct. 1, style-driven supportive footwear brand, Vionic, part of the Caleres (NYSE: CAL) portfolio, will be donating 100% of sales from three different breast cancer awareness-themed silhouettes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world, with a minimum commitment of $100,000 to advance lifesaving research. Vionic supports these efforts as a part of its corporate social responsibility commitment initiative Vionic Cares, by raising awareness and funds for important causes. In the U.S., one in eight American women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, and there's a new diagnosis every two minutes. Vionic is proud to be able to contribute to the ongoing and necessary research that will change these facts.

This limited-edition line of Vionic best-sellers features its plush Gemma Mule Slipper, its sleek Relax Slipper, and the eco-conscious Pismo Casual Sneaker—all of which are featured in a signature pink color and adorned with an iconic awareness ribbon. Funds raised will support BCRF's mission to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research.

"Breast cancer research is an important part of the ongoing work to support our community at Vionic," said Angela Caltagirone, senior vice president and general manager, Vionic Group. "As a part of our social responsibility efforts, we as a company, are proud to support those that are enduring this disease and we will never give up hope on finding a cure."

Featuring the brand's podiatrist-developed Vio-motion technology delivering Three-Zone Comfort which empowers individuals to live healthy lives, from the ground up, the BCRF Vionic styles will be available on vionicshoes.com starting Oct. 1.
