Tecnica Adds Rep in South Central U.S.  Effective immediately, Mike Young will service deal- ers for Italian-based footwear brand Tecnica in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. After re-entering the U.S. footwear market and introducing its custom-fit trail shoes, enthusiasm for Tecnica footwear has rap- idly grown among retailers and consumers alike, said the company, citing accounts of customers traveling for several hours to authorized Tecnica dealers to experi- ence the proprietary C.A.S. technology. The additional sales support is expected to build on this momentum.
