Meldisco offers shoes under private labels as well as licensed brands Everlast, Route 66, and Thom McAn. Footstar's athletic division, which sells shoes and apparel, includes Footaction (about 500 stores, mostly in US malls) and Just For Feet (about 90 stores in the southern half of the US). Thom McAn will soon be sold in about 300 Wal-Mart stores. Investment firm ESL owns 18% of Footstar, which bought the shoe departments business of menswear company J. Baker in 2001.
