Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2010, Phoenix Footwear Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Canada Shoe (1998) Corp. (the “Distributor”). The agreement grants the Distributor an exclusive right to distribute Trotters and SoftWalk branded footwear and related products in Canada. The agreement is effective on January 1, 2011, for an initial term of three years, with a three-year renewal option subject to the mutual agreement of both parties. The Distributor’s exclusivity under the agreement is subject to its satisfaction of certain minimum annual performance and advertising requirements. As part of the agreement, the Distributor will purchase the Company’s current inventory located in Montreal, Canada. We plan to sell this remaining inventory for approximately $200,000. The Agreement also provides for a 20% royalty payable to the Company on subsequent inventory purchases by the Distributor.

The agreement contains customary mutual confidentiality and indemnification provisions. As previously disclosed, the parties had entered into a letter of understanding for this transaction on October 27, 2010, which contemplated entering into this definitive agreement. This agreement follows the same terms contemplated and disclosed in connection with the letter of understanding. The foregoing description of the distribution agreement is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof. A copy of the distribution agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
