"Women Who Go the Extra Mile and the Shoes They Do It In"
Nominate a friend, a Colleague or even Yourself
We are looking to recognize women from all walks of life who travel the farthest, the fastest, the most often or go to the most unusual places or most extraordinary lengths to give service to their clients or community.
You know them, the ones that go there and back, every week, every day to get the job done and still take care of others.
Winners will be featured in story and picture on womanroadwarrior.com, Facebook, Twitter and will be announced in Chicago at The Great Shoe Show Extravaganza and First Class Breakfast.

Traveler, Planet Protector, Adventure Lover - Colleen

If you sneaked a peek into Colleen Finn's carry-on, you would find the usual items such as books, an iPod and a netbook. But what you would also see are an empty water bottle, water purifier and a reusable nylon sack (She likes Envirosax). This world traveler is passionate about being eco-friendly wherever she's visiting to try and cut down on plastic waste. "I would tell everyone to BYOB: bring your own bag... When you're on the road, not only can you use it to bag all of your locally-purchased food, you can also use it for souvenirs, laundry and as an extra bag when you've completely filled your luggage."
When you come home from a trip is your suitcase a few shoes heavier? What is it about shoe stores in other cities that calls out to the traveler?
Perhaps there's a formula – the distance from home is in direct proportion to the come-hither quotient of the shoe in the window. Or maybe it's just that shoe shopping is a great way to spend even a short amount of spare time on the road.
