Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On February 1, 2005, Phoenix Footwear Group, Inc. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company entered into Amendment Number 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 19, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”) between Phoenix and the bank. The Amendment, among other things, establishes a $4 million overline credit facility in addition to the $18 million revolving credit facility already existing under the Credit Agreement. The overline credit facility expires on May 30, 2005 and all borrowings under that facility are due and payable on that date. Until May 30, 2005, Phoenix’s combined availability under the overline credit facility and revolving credit facility will be $22 million (subject to a borrowing base formula). The Amendment revises the borrowing base formula to remove until May 30, 2005 the inventory caps which had applied to each of Phoenix’s product lines. The Amendment also modifies the financial covenants requiring Phoenix not to exceed certain average borrowed funds to EBITDA ratios and cash flow coverage ratios.

     This summary of the Amendment and the Overline Credit Note executed pursuant thereto are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment and the Note which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     The disclosure set forth above in Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
