## History

In March 2007, a project was launched in several Novosibirsk stores of the company: customers could take an interest-free loan for 3–5 months to buy shoes, but the purchase had to be more than 3000 rubles, and as a result, sales in the shops grew by 15% in three months.

In 2010, the firm has signed a one-year advertising contract with singer Valeriya.

In 2015, Obuv Rossii bought the S-TEP, a Novosibirsk shoe company, which owned a shoe factory in Berdsk.
