New Delhi: The Iraqi journalist-cum-shoe-thrower might have landed in jail for volleying his size tens at President George W Bush, but it's raining money for a Turkish shoemaker.
Ramazan Baydan, the owner of the Istanbul-based Baydan Shoe Company, has been swamped with orders after he said that his company produced the black leather shoes which the Iraqi journalist Zaidi threw at Bush.
Baydan has orders for 3,00,000 pairs - more than four times the shoe's normal annual sale. Orders have come mainly from the US and Britain, and from neighbouring Muslim countries.
Baydan is now planning to rename the model "the Bush Shoe" or "Bye-Bye Bush".
