I like how Mark always congratulates people on standing their ground and not taking an offer for the sake of taking one

From the Shark Tank Blog "The business is still open and just a few weeks after the original air date, Haley raised an additional $1 million. She also announced that the shoes will be customizable by the summer of 2021. In January, 2022, Haley was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list for retail commerce." Go Haley!

Her voice was trembling and she stood her ground. A fighter! Hope she makes it far!

That wasn’t even awkward that was actually incredibly inspirational

Just the exposure on Shark Tank may help her. She fired back answers to all their questions - she really knows her stuff. I wish her all the best.

I strongly admire that young lady. She's got a backbone made of steel and a power-driven determination. She's going to exceed her own expectations!

You can feel the passion and pride that she has for her company.

It wasnt awkward at all. She handled herself well and answered all questions confidently. And she stood her ground on her company instead of caving in from desperation. Despite no deal i still think she won.

Totally the right decision. She made very reasonable counters and handled the negotiation like a pro. Kevin clearly showed that he wasn’t that interested. Not someone you want on your board with that attitude.

This is insane, I was at a wedding last weekend in Sydney Australia, and one of the guests was changing her heels into flats and about 5 of us huddled around her and were in absolute awe. We struggled the whole night and she was in complete comfort. I WILL be buying a pair after seeing this in person!! This brand is legitimate!

So glad she didn’t take the deal with Kevin! He was basically robbing her. Her company is now worth 4.2 million. Go Haley!!

Shes so confident, I was shocked when her voice got shaky right before the first deal. She carries herself well and knows her stuff

Kevin: "I would probably be wearing these heels in Heaven before I got my $500k back." Apparently Kevin is very optimistic about his location in the afterlife.

Impressive that she was able to come up with alternatives on the whim like that, even with everyone shutting her down.

I went to high school with Haley and she has always been amazing. Keep it up Haley! You deserve the world!

She’s an incredible business woman and I know she’s going to do well no matter what she does.

The way Kevin sat in his chair like a Kingpin and delivered THE dialogue “all roads lead to Mr. Wonderful “ was a clear powerful delivery. First time he said that way, I guess. 😂

1:42 the editors made the cleanest cut possible and thought we wouldn't notice

Deal or no deal, her appearance on this show had definitely bring more publicity to her company and products. It's's fantastic to watch her stood her ground because she knew what's the best for herself :)

She went by her conviction...hats off to her ..she is very resilient 👏👏👏

Kevin came at mark so fast even tho he was tryna help 😂😂

So glad she didn't take the one lousy deal offered. A lesson to all of us, no matter how desperate the situation may be, never compromise and take a deal which was simply the only one available but was bad to begin with. Keep looking out for the right solution to your situation.

She handled herself so well!

Honestly it's scary that she got to such a dangerous point, but at the same time this product seems revolutionary and she seems like an absolute baller so I'm sure the company will be fine!

Such a strong woman. She prevailed under all scrutinies. She is gonna make it big!

She is a BOSS lady and will thrive in business in the future! This is an awesome concept for high heels! Not only for special events, but for celebrity singers on stage! She just need to upgrade the styles and prototype to make sure they are indeed comfortable and gives a luxury shoe design. Kudos to her for standing her ground! 👏🏾👏🏾😊🙌🏾

She turned out fine now the company is valued at 5 Mil, way to stand up for what you believe in 🎉🎉🎉

I looked her up and her company is still in business and thriving.

I remember seeing a lot of people on social media try out her shoes and give them raving reviews. Her appearance on the show, word of mouth and not to mention a genuinely great product really did help save her business cause last time I checked it's networth is about 15 million. I wanted to order some too but the added price of shipping to my country and customs would've been really out of my budget. I still wish I could buy a bunch of those shoes.

Wow, she is really impressive! I think she carried herself extremely well even though she did not get the offers she was hoping for and I hope she succeeds even without taking his offer.

Barbra really blessed us with "I think you are the type of person who don't know....what they don't know" LMAOOOOOO

This may be the first time that Kevin sat in his chair like that. That feels like a boss and it feels so good.

Haley your negotiation skills were on point. “Mr Wonderful” would LOVE that if he saw that drive, determination and level headedness under pressure IF you were a guy. He just decided to not show any flexibility because he figured you would fold. You were the giant in that room. And it turns out you were better off without him or them. You’ll do GREAT things. Congrats on your success and keep on fighting for the business you believe in. One thing…don’t let others frame your revenue based on what YOU provided which is the COST of your inventory. Not at a negotiation stage. It put you on the back foot. It’s not dishonest to project your revenue based on your current pricing, even if in the back of your mind you’re thinking you probably can’t sustain the selling price to make commitments to the revenue and profit targets they would expect. That can come later and with more money your economies of scale would improve, driving your cost price down anyway.

She did better than I would have done. She is inspirational. Respect

Proud of her courage and perseverance. I don’t wear heels but I do wish her success!

9:00 Kevin cracks me up, but his offer was actually pretty solid

She's impressive!!! I'm in tears and don't know why! I wish this young woman well, she's going places.

Evidently Forbes named her on their 30 under 30 AND she raised 1 mil a few weeks after airing. Maybe good not to take the deal?

Good for her standing her ground!! I expect to see her on that list of Successful business ideas rejected by SharkTank like the door camera guys

I think she handled her self incredibly. I wish her all the best.

This is a learning experience she’s always going to remember. Never sell yourself cheap. Do it once than twice. She got herself this far

Ha ha the way Kevin just sat/ leaned back in his chair when he heard Lorie was out. He really knows to project power

Love her energy, love her sharpness, and love her positivity. Great salesperson!

I love that she knows what she wants and she stood her ground

Bless shark tank for introducing me to products that I need lol. I don't mind wearing heels for a few hours but these are legit game changing for workdays

Very reasonable deal from Kevin

Impressed by how passionate and confident she is about her product, and glad she proved the sharks, especially Kevin, wrong.

Aw. Now I want to buy her shoes just to buy them and support! You can tell she takes pride in her company and how she does her business. I wish her the absolute best and an abundant amount of blessings and success in her company!

My wife bought these for her wedding shoes she loved them

THE WAY KEVIN IMMEDIATELY SHUT MARK DOWN AND MARK HAD TO YELL THAT HE WAS TRYING TO HELP HIM THIS TIME HAHAHA

Kingpin Kevin was crushing it in this episode 😂

So much bravery in her. Every great invention starts with a great idea. We all started from somewhere. Although I feel, that the product has some flaws. It doesn't mean it can't be improved. I believe that one day she'll make it because she is resilient and a problem solver.

A year later and Haley Pavone still going strong ! Just bought her shoes all the way in Aus. She has cracked international market. Well done Hayley !

Barbara is spot on here. A company burning $90K who has a CEO who is so diluted and unfocused that she's going out just fundraising for millions instead of focusing on sales and reducing that burn rate is bound to fail. She's basically reduced herself to a role where she's doing all the work AFTER she got investments through convertible notes and yet she's diluted to 45% with the same problem of having to fundraise more. She should focus on selling her product and reducing that burn rate.

I learned a lot from how she handles herself. Admire the optimistic attitude!!!

it's now february 2024 and her and her business are still going strong. very proud of her

These are so cool and props to Haley for being a great saleswoman. Looking at the site seems like things are going well and the products are really nice, happy to see that.

First time seeing Kevin make a reasonable royalty deal. She's burning cash at a ridiculous rate. I suspect that most went into office rental, which is one of the biggest mistakes new businesses make.

Im glad she stood her ground. These sharks take advantage of business owners who want to succeed.

I think she handled herself and her emotions VERY well. Just like he has before, he’ll eat his words

I like her attitude. Keep going girl, you got this! 👏🏼

It may have been a good deal, but she walked away from someone who wanted to flex their cash with zero flexibility. Narcissistic move on Kevin’s part and that kind of energy would crush her. She has the tenacity to be a success

This is one of the few people who didn't get a deal in the tank where I'm like good for her, she's better off. And she didn't come in pretending to want a deal for advertisement, she was legit and deserves all the free press this gave her company.

I’ve seen her brand on social media before and I actually considered purchasing it until I watch reviews on KZfaq about it. A lot of people say it’s awkward and unflattering to walk in when it’s flat and the stiletto style is wobbly. So I didn’t end up purchasing. Maybe if they tweak it a bit, I’d be more into trying it

“I think that we’ll see… 50% OFF !” 😂

At 9:00 Kevin looked like an absolute boss.

She’s a badass. I heard of this brand about a year ago just on social media and was amazed at the whole idea.

The way he sits in that chair after the other sharks back out 🤣

Shoe and apparels business in general is too difficult to get into. Fashion designers get paid big bucks at fashion houses for a reason. Not having enough designs and styles limits your audience and sales, having too many stresses your manufacturing and ups your cost. Not to mention I feel anybody spending more than $100 for a pair of heels will probably want some brand recognition or at the very least some assurance that the pair will last, and nobody knows how long these will last. It’s a nice concept, but probably not very marketable like many cool kickstarter concepts.

Kevin said he’ll be wearing those heels 👠 in Heaven before he gets his money 💰 back!!!! 😂😂😂😂💀💀. Dude is HILARIOUS!!!!!!

It's so interesting seeing shark tank videos for products I already own or have seen because someone close to me already does. My mother got these shoes last year and I've been thinking about them since-seeing this video seems like just another hint that I should be going all in on some

She knows what she wants & is capable of, & takes the criticism very professionally without making unnecessary arguments

9:00 Kevin looks like he's holding a cigar while acting like a boss

I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a shark tank video! Thanks y’all!

You could tell she was nervous at first but she stood on BUSINESS

Wow, I just saw this lady promoting her heels on my Twitter feed a couple of days ago. You go girl!!!🤩

At 7:02 the way she said “okay!” was so badass 🤣 she is so smart and confident I love it

Did Barbara ever bought something??? i mean even a coffee cup?? or she just walk into starbucks everyday and say "im sorry but im out" turn and leaves??

"The expectation for women to wear high heels". Who has this expectation? I have worked in all kinds of business setting and NEVER has it come up. It blows my mind when people wear something uncomfortable or revealing by their own choice and blame it on society. Good idea though but I would save my money and buy some comfortable shoes...

This is one of my favorite episodes. A lot of business concepts are mentioned here.

Kevin really is the only one who really knows how to make TV entertainment....I think he can have a reality tv show one day 😂

i have 3 pairs of pashion shoes and i plan on getting at least another 2 pairs this year :D they look AMAZING and i enjoy being able to pop into heels for photos, then back to flats for walking and dancing

It’s so funny seeing this now and to have it appear in my recommended after only seeing a viral tweet for it on Twitter. I wish Haley all the best!

The product is cool, and she was well prepared for the financial questions.

Imagine how much of a mic drop it would’ve been had she thanked them, twisted the heels off, and then walked out.

So nice that Lori is always classy & professional in her nylons.

Awesome presentation! Great idea too👍🏽

Her personality was phenomenal tbh. Wish her all the success there is!

They definitely posted this because she's going viral. Good for her!

"I think you are the type of person ,you don't know what you don't know". Barbara Joke of the year 😂😂😂

Still seems to be in business. Good to see that.

She was about to cry but held it together good for her

Glad she stood up to them

Good thing she stood her ground and this exposure will be all needs !!

She stood her ground like a CHAMP and had answers to wvery question asked by every single shark. I hope she was able to rise like phoenix after that 3rd month.

I understand her concept however you have the same chance of getting your toes stepped on whether it be barefoot or open-toed shoes. Just because you are providing protection on the bottom of your foot does not prevent someone's stiletto from impaling your toe. There are plenty of solutions to wearing high heels at events. $20/30 gets you a pretty decent-looking pair of flats. I would rather buy two pairs of shoes for less than half the cost of one pair of these. $200 for a pair of heels that are not even designer. If I'm trying to impress someone with my shoes and I said "oh these are pashion heels" they probably won't even know what I am talking about.

Lori's bow outfit is giving❤

She’s inspirational wow! I felt her dedication!

She has a lot of passion for this and I love it!! I hope she’s extremely successful in this 🙏🏼
