Dear Fellow Investor:
I’ve got important news on a young company I’ve been researching for several months, and I’m convinced the time to act is NOW!
Fast-growing Aussie Soles (stock symbol AUSE) is about to grab the #2 spot in global sales just behind the phenomenally successful Crocs Shoes...
I believe this could trigger a 10, 15, even 20-fold share price increase!
And here’s why…
The Crocs injection-molded polymer-foam clog, nicknamed “the holey clog,” has taken the U.S. by storm, making Crocs one of the fastest growing companies in America.
Crocs sales jumped from $13 million in 2004… to $820 million in 2007… to a projected $1.1 billion in 2008.
Crocs went public two years ago and its shares soared from $10 to $76 in just 19 months before the recent correction.
But the important thing to grasp here is that Crocs’ amazingly successful shoe, and the copycat and sister styles it’s spawned, has become a global sales phenomenon!
Now, Aussie Soles is on the verge of 100- 200- fold increase in sales, as it moves into the #2 position just behind the mega-selling Crocs, and its shares are likely to mirror Crocs’ meteoric rise!
Hi, I’m Tim Fields, editor of the online advisory, Untapped Wealth. My followers know that I work tirelessly to uncover tomorrow’s biggest stock winners. And that’s exactly what I believe Aussie Soles will be!
As you can see, I’m not writing to tease you with this stock. Instead, I want you to see the quality of my research even make a boatload of money with this stock — before you even consider my special offer to try Untapped Wealth.
Fair enough? Okay, here’s my report, and your fortune-making opportunity…

Mega profit opportunity
in shoe craze
The original shoe that started this global sales craze is an EVA polymer foam rubber clog with holes around the toe box for ventilation: hence the nickname, “the holey clog.”
Both Aussie Soles and Crocs make these wildly popular shoes in a variety of styles and colors for beaching, boating, hiking, apres-ski, gardening, walking, working, and school. But…
What makes this opportunity so BIG is that…
This super lightweight and comfy shoe is fast replacing thongs and sandals as the casual shoe of choice among today’s style and comfort-oriented consumers.
But that’s not all. This innovative shoe concept also extends to closed styles, which have become “must have” shoes for restaurant, hospital, and other shift workers for reasons you’ll see in a moment.
Interestingly, both companies got their start just a few years ago. Crocs began in Colorado, quickly spread across the U.S., then expanded overseas.
And during this same time, Aussie Soles racked up over $1 million sales per year — in Australia alone with such hits as their Kids Klogs and The Surfer, two of 13 current styles that have made the brand famous down under.
Granted, Aussie Soles has lagged behind Crocs in getting out to the world, but for all the right rea- sons. And of course that makes it even better for us. You see…
They’ve been busy lining up the best design, engineering, production, marketing and distribu- tion teams prior to their massive global rollout this year. And that’s…
Because they don’t intend to make the same mistakes Crocs made — having to change manu- facturers due to sub-par quality, or upgrade European distributors as Crocs did after theirs cost them tens of $millions in lost sales last year.
Those missteps disappointed consumers and Wall Street. With the result being the high-flying CROX shares were knocked down, while consumers started looking at other brands.
Missteps or not, Crocs deserves enormous credit…
Spreading fast across the globe
Crocs aggressive push onto the global stage is precisely the reason the market for these light- weight, colorful, and comfortable shoes has exploded across the globe.
And that, of course, has busted the door wide open for strong competitors like Aussie Soles, which actually makes a better shoe. The word on the street (or on the feet, if you will) is that…
And every month another million people discover how amazingly comfortable and practical these shoes are. And, once hooked, they’re inclined to buy additional pairs in different styles and colors.
It’s a global sales phenomenon, all right. Literally the fastest selling shoe in the world. But if you’ve never tried a pair, you’re probably wondering WHY?
WHAT exactly is it about these shoes?
In a nutshell, it’s the advanced formula EVA closed-cell polymer foam that forms to your feet as you wear them, providing a level of support and comfort unknown before now.
It’s literally a revolutionary change for people who spend a lot of time on their feet, whether working indoors or playing outdoors. And there simply is no better shoe for kids.
But wait!
If this shoe is a sales phenom… and the market is growing like wildfire… why am I recommending Aussie Soles, which is almost certain to be the #2 company this year, and not Crocs itself, which is already #1?
Good question!
The thoughtful answer is that Aussie Soles is superior in design, quality, fit, and comfort (you have to be better when you’re #2), but that’s NOT why I’m recommending it.
Why Aussie Soles now?
The fact is, Crocs (CROX) shares have already skyrocketed from $10 to $76, before falling back, and the fireworks are over.
Meanwhile Aussie Soles just went public at $1.44 per share. And its fortune-making gains are just ahead. That’s the reason I’m recommending it!
Can you imagine what will happen to AUSE shares, as the company’s sales climb to $50 million, to $100 million, and then $200 million and more on their global rollout?!
I’m convinced early AUSE shareholders could see a 10-fold gain, even a 20-fold gain, and in just a matter of months! And after that, the sky’s the limit as Aussie Soles fights Crocs for #1.
Sure, you can buy CROX for a 25% gain in the second half of ‘08. It’s a pretty good value play. But if you want a good shot at making a 1,000% to 2,000% gain, Aussie Soles is your shoe, mate!
What about other competitors?
There are a few — the original holey clog called Waldies, as well as Holey Soles of Canada, but these are small players now.
Of course, the big guys, thinking they’d catch a trend, added copycat models to their lines. But these were so poorly conceived and supported they quickly foundered.
Then, Wal-Mart and other mass merchandisers got into the act with their cheap knock-offs. And, usually, when that happens it signals the end of a trend…
But the polymer-foam clog (and related styles) is no mere fashion trend. It’s a major new market direction toward innovative lightweight shoes that are more comfortable, practical, and affordable.
The mass merchandisers actually helped increase awareness for this type of shoe and drove consumers to seek out the real thing, which was never expensive in the first place ($25 to $59 for most styles).
So, here we are. The coming global sales shootout is between Aussie Soles and Crocs. And that’s HUGE because it’s the…
Top shoe in a $32 billion market
The global market for casual, recreational, and work shoes totals $32 billion annually. And the form-fitting polymer foam clog (and its sister styles) is the fastest growing segment of this market.
Get the picture? See your opportunity?
Could you get a better setup? I don’t think so. But don’t sit on your hands and then kick yourself later.

I’m convinced this stock has fortune-making potential for early investors, and you’ll probably never see the share price this low again.
Let me tell you more…
Aussie Soles was started in 2003 by Craig Taplin, an insanely energetic Australian en- trepreneur who had traveled the world and got into the importing business.
His early products targeted new parents and were modestly successful…
But one day, while on vacation with his wife in Canada, Taplin discovered the colorful holed clog. And he instantly knew it was a winner.
He contacted the manufacturer (the same used by early brands such as Waldies and Crocs) and he became the original distributor of the holed clog in Australia.
As expected, the shoe took off like a rocket!
But, after getting 3 shipments that varied widely in sizing and quality, Taplin realized he would have to set up his own design, manufacturing, and quality control if he were to achieve the $billion success he envisioned. And thus Aussie Soles was born.
Having already conducted business in China, Taplin decided to contract directly with Chinese manufacturers. And his early designs, Kids Klogs and The Surfer, quickly became mega hits in Australia and New Zealand.
Long story short – annual sales soon topped $1 million and Taplin was ready to expand the line and go global. And here’s where Aussie Soles separates itself from its competitors…
The amazing people behind Aussie Soles
The first person Taplin added to his dream team (and then made a partner) was 30-year shoe-industry veteran, David Cox.
Cox had worked for Nike and Hi-Tec Sports, and for 10 years was the production manager for K-Swiss. And get this…
While at K-Swiss, Cox oversaw production that went from $65 million to $850 million annually.
That’s important to us because, as the global rollout gets underway, it’s good to know the guy in charge of taking Aussie Soles from 40,000 pairs a year to 40 million is a guy who’s already done that!
And here’s something else that’s important: Cox is based in China.
Advertisement, please see important disclaimer on the bottom
Sure, Chinese manufacturing is good – excellent even — but only when there’s an overseer on site to maintain the quality. And Aussie Soles has that guy in Cox!
It gets better…
Cox is an influential figure in the industry. And before long he convinced two industry superstars to go to work for the fast-rising Aussie Soles…
The first is Steve Francis, the award winning shoe designer, who for many years was the lead designer for New Balance, as well as the former Director of Design for Wolverine World Wide and Hi-Tec Sports.
Francis is experienced in all phases of design, including seasonal development, design strategy, and design staff management. And he’s created entire (and very successful) collections for the USA and international markets, plus won numerous utility and design patents.
The second is Jason Shim, a chemical engineering genius, formerly with Adidas, K-Swiss, and Hi-Tec Sports. One of the first things Shim did was create Aussie Soles’ amazing proprietary foam, Auslite, which has catapulted the company to the leading edge in materials.
See where this is going?
When I say Aussie Soles has better looking, better fitting, better quality shoes, I’m not just whistling in the wind. Francis and Shim are the reasons for that. And there’s more for investors to cheer…
Patented Auslite Material #1
Auslite is an advanced form of closed-cell polymer foam that’s lightweight, non-absorbent, and tough wearing indoors and out. It’s also…
Pay close attention to this last point – the anti-static quality – because it’s going to give Aussie Soles a HUGE ADVANTAGE.
You see, the shoes from many of Aussie Soles competitors discharge static electricity, a very dangerous characteristic in many workplaces. In fact, Crocs was banned in many hospitals, restaurants, and factories for this very reason.
But get this: Auslite is certified anti-static! And thus Aussie Soles shoes are safe for the workplace.
More good news… Auslite is also anti-bacterial and anti-skid, which means Aussie Soles meets the strict requirements needed by surgeons, nurses, hospital, restaurant, and many factory workers.
How big is that? We’re talking a $12.3 billion market here. Yes, Aussie Soles has the best shoe in this market! LOOK HERE…
So it’s just a matter of time before Aussie Soles are on tens of millions of feet. Even Crocs 800% stock gain could pale in comparison to Aussie Soles skyrocketing shares!
And then there’s this surprising bonus…
This is going to sound funny, but I told you Jason Shim is a genius. Because bacteria can’t grow on the amazing Auslite material, the unpleasant odor you get with most shoes never develops.
That’s right, Aussie Soles solves the problem of smelly feet. Just rinse your Aussie soles in plain water, and they’ll be as sweet smelling as the day you first bought them.
I’m telling you — they ought to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for this, but let’s be happy with a potential 10 to 20-fold gain and call it a day.
Okay. Let’s look at their marketing plans. And you’ll see why this company has a $500 million sales potential!
Global rollout targets $500 million sales
For starters, Aussie Soles has over 600 retailers in Australia and New Zealand. And these retail outlets include many small kiosks located in high-traffic areas.
What’s interesting about the “well-located kiosk” is that, on typical shopping days it will move 30 to 40 pairs. And on the busiest shopping days, 80 to 90 pairs.
Taplin believes the high-traffic kiosk is the ideal venue for Aussie Soles, with the added benefit of very low start-up costs (note: QuickSilver successfully used the kiosk for fast growth in the 1990s).
For this reason the Aussie Soles global rollout plan includes 500 company owned kiosks in high- traffic malls in America, Canada, and Europe. Let’s run the numbers on this segment alone. And let’s be very conservative…
If an Aussie Soles-owned kiosk averages just 30 pairs per day, at an average price of $35 per pair, and it’s open 6 days a week… we’re talking over $150 million in kiosk sales alone!
And remember, that’s a conservative estimate. If they average 40 pairs a day, their sales jump to well over $200 million!
Can you fathom what a 150- to 200-fold increase in sales might do for the AUSE shares, which are right now selling near $1.44? That’s why I say these shares could jump 10 to 20 times!

Selling in stores
across the globe
From its start in Australia and then New Zealand, Aussie Soles is rolling out to South Africa, Malaysia, Japan, Dubai, Germany, Belgium, France, England, and all across Canada and the U.S.
They’re going into…
What’s the sales potential? Let’s run some numbers, just for the North American chain stores, and let’s get our figures from Russ Curran.
Who’s Russ Curran? Just the legendary sales rep formerly with Rockport and Geox who wrote tens of $millions in the shoe biz with…
Taplin signed Curran as North American sales manager. And Curran’s first order of business was to sign Nordstroms, should be a done deal by the time you read this. But Curran expects to quickly line up about 200 accounts.
He’s got the connections, the prestige, and the access to do it. And he says the bigger chains could move 50,000 to 100,000 pairs a year. The smaller ones, 10,000 to 20,000 pairs.
Conservatively speaking, if Curran gets 200 chain store accounts, and they average 20,000 pairs per year at $20 wholesale, — he’ll write $80 million Aussie Soles business in North America alone!
Even BIGGER numbers can be expected in Europe – a market 50% larger than the U.S. And the same can be said of Asia. In fact, the Aussie Soles distributor in Japan is already reporting a phenomenal response there!
But sales are one thing. What about profits? Can Aussie Soles deliver to the bottom line? And to shareholders? Yes, they can!
Aussie Soles averages a 61.8% gross margin at wholesale prices across its entire line!
Advertisement, please see important disclaimer on the bottom
That’s right! Nearly a 62% average gross margin on wholesale prices. Do you see why I’m so excited? This company is not only going to see skyrocketing sales but MONSTER PROFITS!
And when Wall Street finds out, what do you think will happen?
Buyers around the world
embracing Aussie Soles
I’ll tell you what I think – this stock is going to the moon. And that’s why you need to ACT FAST. Especially since the global rollout is right now getting underway…
These are just a few of the dozens of trade shows they’re doing this year. And with every show they’re finding enthusiastic buyers, anxious to get a high-quality alternative to Crocs.
Check out these big accounts they're currently working on…
- Bass Pro Outlets – Is the world’s leading supplier of premium outdoor gear with numerous mega stores all across the United States.
- Licensing Rights to the Canadian Football League! – Football isn’t just big here in the states. It's also extremely popular north of the border. Aussie Soles now has licensing rights to use CFL team logos and trademarks on their shoes.
- Official Sponsor of the five time Grey Cup Champion BC Lions – For those of you who don't know the Grey Cup is CFL equivalent of the Super Bowl.
- Canadian Tire and Mark’s Work Warehouse, an 850 store chain that accounts for one-third of Canada’s retail business (think Wal-Mart of Canada).
- SportChek/Forzani Group, the largest sporting goods retail chain in Canada, with annual sales of $1.4 billion.
- Hudson’s Bay Company, the oldest retailer in North America which comprises The Bay, Fields, Zellers, Home Outfitters and Designer Depot stores!
Hawley Lane Shoes, just voted the #1 shoe store in America by FootWear News, and the parent company of comfortshoestore.com, the nation’s leader in comfortable shoes!
- Kerzner International, the luxury destination resort company with locations in the Bahamas (Atlantis), Mexico, Maldives, Mauritius, and Dubai! They’ll be selling Aussie Soles with their resorts’ logos.
- Nordstrom’s, the 160 store upscale chain that started as a shoe store in Seattle and is still considered by many to be the best shoe store in America!
The company’s marketing plans also include lucrative…
Licensing, endorsements, and private labels
Taplin just signed a licensing deal with the Canadian Football League, and soon every CFL team will be selling Aussie Soles with its team logo. Sales for the first year alone are projected to be 120,000 pairs.
The first is Angus Reid, the all-star center for the BC Lions and the most-liked player in the league. Taplin wisely made Angus sales manager for Canada, and this affable fellow is getting an en- thusiastic response — and big orders — everywhere he goes!
The second is Geroy Simon, the record-setting BC Lions’ receiver who, in 2006, racked up 1856 yards on 105 receptions, earning “Most Outstanding Player” when the Lion’s won the Grey Cup that year. Of course, kids all across Canada want to wear his shoes!
The owner of The Keg, a $1 billion restaurant chain in North America, recently met with Taplin about getting shift and chef shoes in specific colors with “The Keg” logo on them. These will be sold to the company’s 12,000 employees as part of their uniform.
This type of TV promotion increases brand awareness, which in turn boosts online sales, drives consumers to seek the shoes in stores, and motivates shoe buyers to carry the line.
It’s all part of a grand marketing plan to grow revenues 50, 100, even 200 times in the massive global rollout now underway.
And that’s why I believe Aussie Soles shares (AUSE) could jump 10 to 20 times in just the next few months!

ACT NOW for greatest share price gain
I’ve learned from years of experience in researching small companies that the ones that make it BIG do so because of… yes, a fine product that everybody wants… but more so because of talented and experienced people, coupled with a relentless drive to succeed.
That’s exactly what I’m seeing in Taplin and his Aussie Soles team. And now, with the capitaliza- tion from the AUSE stock offering, they’re poised to turn the Aussie Soles brand into a global sales phenom and household icon!
It’s an incredible opportunity for early AUSE shareholders. If you need to know more, go to www.aussiesoles.com and ask for an Investor’s Kit. Just do it now. AUSE shares could take off like a rocket any day now!
And that wraps up my report. But if you think getting advance notice on tomorrow’s biggest stock winners can be useful in building your fortune, please try Untapped Wealth (subscription offer, next page). That way, you won’t miss a single one of my reports!
