This year, the Footwear News Achievement Awards will take place on December 1, and it’s an invitation-only event at the Four Seasons. Ooh la la! The best and the brightest of the shoe world will certainly be strutting their stuff in beautiful shoes!

Zappos.com CEO Tony Hsieh, Steve Madden and Giuseppe Zanotti are just some of those being honored.

Hsieh is being honored for his unconventional leadership style at Zappos. With five weeks of training for employees, even those who just answer the phone or work in the warehouse, Zappos has amazing customer service.

Tony Hsieh may be drowning in shoes, but in a good way.
