Seems that OnlineShoes.com is getting serious about competing with the bigger online shoe retailers here in the U.S. - the next step, though, for any Domestically Based online shoe retailer is to expand Internationally and what better country to start than with our friendly neighbors to the south - Mexico. There is a rumor that the ultimate Internet Addresses for the Mexican Retail Shoe Market are currently being offered for sale - Zapatos.mx and Zapatos.com.mx - It is interesting to see which big, or small, online shoe retailer will purchase said domains and achieve First to Market Advantages in Mexico!
