If he never closed shop he was selling over 11 pairs of shoes a minute for 2.5 days straight. I assume he was actually doing bulk sales to distributors.

The article doesn't make it clear. Was Market Week a retail event or a business to business event?

I'm pretty sure this is the kind of event where purchasers make deals with manufacturers. You're right, it would be logistically impossible for that many shoes to be sold one at a time...
