I am looking for consultants to send an RFP for work that I need
performed.  Find me 10 such consultants (individuals or agencies). 
They must have the following qualifications:
1.  Be based in the USA
2.  Have a web page that I can view
3.  Be experienced in all phases of manufacture, design, cost
analysis, sourcing (worldwide), quality control of LADIES DRESS SHOES.
 The must be experienced in and understand the manufacturing of ladies
dress shoes from soup to nuts.  If their expertise is primarily in
casual or athletic shoes, I have no interest in them.

hi lirpa
i take the chance to answer you here about shoes market .
the average shoe size of ladies and the hole distribution has been
increasing by about half asize every ten years for the last century.
it should keep on increasing
concerning the asian americans, two situtations.
A/ if they grew in asia the average and distibution is shifted to
smaller sizes on average 1 and 1/2 size if they grew up in america the
difference is about half.
B/ concerning afro american they have an average shoe size pretty
similar(may be one point bigger), but a wider distribution. higher
frequencies of the extremes.

your interesting question has been blocked by the researcher for too long.
let us know if it is what you would excpect from this service.

"No one is entirely sure why feet are expanding, but they are. The
average women?s shoe sold last year, a size 8.5, was nearly double the
typical 4.5 sold in 1900, and a full size bigger than the average sold
a generation ago."

in 2015 the extremely high lady shoe sizes ("12 or more")market  will
increase by  more than 300% going from 1.3% of the lady shoes market
to around 5%.

in contrast small size should dicrease but will probably soon be
merged woth the girls market.

Hi lirpa
I am speedomaniac.
I am not a google researcher since google does not recruit at the moment.
I will not charge you.
I consider that for your shoe size distribution question czh-ga has
been locking it for way too long without providing an inch of
information .
in google answer faq  you can find 
A/
"I posted my question and a registered user answered it in a comment.
Can I cancel my question?
Yes, you can cancel your question, as long as the question has not
been locked or answered. You will still be charged the $.50 listing
fee, but you will not need to pay the price to answer the question. To
cancel your question, log into to your account and go to "My Account".
When you see the list of questions you have asked, click on the
question you wish to cancel. Then click on the "Cancel Question"
button at the top of the page. Confirm your decision by clicking "Yes,
Cancel Question."

B/ 
What are locked questions?
Questions that Researchers are currently answering are locked to
ensure that only one Researcher works on them at a time. Right now,
questions are locked for four hours unless the question price is $100
or more, in which case the question is locked for eight hours. During
this period, no other Researcher can answer the locked question, nor
can other users make comments. Once the Researcher responds to the
question, its status changes from "locked" to "answered." If the
Researcher does not answer the question in the locked time period,
then the question's status reverts to "unanswered" and another
Researcher can choose to answer it."

Conclusion a 100 dollars question can be locked for 8 hours but here
it has been locked for 4 days it is very strange......
I will be happy to post more comments as soon as this question is unlocked

Dear speedomaniac-ga,

I appreciate that you want to help the customer. As you can see by the
clarifications I've posted, I have a good likelyhood of finding the
additional information he's looking for. He has chosen to wait for
what I'm able to come up with instead of accepting your partial answer
and closing the question. It's a tougher search than one would expect
but the customer loses nothing by waiting. If your information is
sufficient, he can start using it immediately for the 50 cent posting
fee. If I can find additional meaningful information, I will get paid
for the many hours of effort I've put in on his question.

Thank you for your concern and understanding.
