Seattle TV stations report hundreds of customers had been waiting for hours outside the Westfield Southcenter mall and police were on hand to control disputes that broke out over line-cutting or pushing.
Hundreds of customers also lined up for hours outside stores in downtown Seattle and a mall in Federal Way.
One buyer walking away with the shoes told KING-TV it's a classic style and the shoes that retail for $180 are selling for $400 on the Internet.
