Shortly thereafter, Erik Nordstrom left a voicemail message for Schulberg referring to the Reef sandals in question as a "ridiculous
product" and said they would be removed from store shelves.
"Our goal is to have great fashion," says Michael Boyd, a Nordstrom spokesperson. Boyd says that while the company does not view the sandals--sold in the men's department--as an obvious attempt to encourage alcohol use or target a specific age group, the product "seems gimmicky" and "doesn't fit with our merchandise mix."
