A Turkish shoe firm says it has had to take on 100 extra staff to cope with a surge in orders after an Iraqi threw shoes at US President Bush.
Istanbul-based Baydan Shoes claims it made the shoes and says it now has tens of thousands of orders from around the world - including from the US and Iraq.
The shoe was called Model 271 but has been renamed Bush shoe, the firm said.
However, the brother of shoe-throwing journalist Muntader al-Zaidi says he believes the shoes were Iraqi-made.
