Customers select styles from shoes on display, but then one of Reyers' 88 salespeople is there to help with the fitting. One of them is Larry Joltin, 41, the hottest shoe salesman in America. Joltin sells nearly $500,000 worth of men's shoes a year, roughly a pair every 15 minutes. In 1982, he walked away with the National Shoe Retailers Association award. His $424,848 worth of sales put him so far ahead...
