Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant (a) On November 28, 2007, Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") informed the
Audit Committee of Shoe Pavilion, Inc. (the "Company") that Deloitte & Touche has declined to stand for reappointment as
the Company's independent registered public accountants.
The reports of Deloitte & Touche on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the most recent two fiscal years
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles, except as discussed in the following sentence. Deloitte & Touche's report on the
December 30, 2006 consolidated financial statements included explanatory paragraphs related to the restatement of the
Company's consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 and
related to the adoption of Statement of Financial Standards No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment." During the two most recent fiscal years and through November 28, 2007, there were no disagreements between Deloitte &
Touche and the Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Deloitte & Touche's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to
the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. Except as described below, there were no reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K that occurred during
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 30, 2006 and through November 28, 2007. The Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors has discussed each of the material weaknesses described below with Deloitte & Touche,
and the Company has authorized Deloitte & Touche to respond fully to the inquiries of a successor auditor concerning the
subject matter below. In connection with Deloitte & Touche's review of the interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 29,
2007, they advised the Company that they believed the following matters constituted material weaknesses. These material weaknesses
were reported in Item 4T of the Company's Form 10-Q for that fiscal quarter. In connection with Deloitte & Touche's review of the interim financial statements for the quarter ended April 1, 2006, they
advised the Company that they believed the following matter constituted a material weakness. This material weakness was reported in
Item 4 of the Company's Form 10-Q for that fiscal quarter. The Company provided Deloitte & Touche with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that they furnish a
letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agreed with the above statements made by
the Company. A copy of such letter, dated December 3, 2007, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has identified an independent registered public accounting firm that it plans to
engage to conduct the audit of the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2007, subject to such firm's
completion of its internal approval processes and acceptance of the appointment. Such appointment is not yet effective. Item 9.01. Exhibits. Description Letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP dated December 3, 2007.
