Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

General

The following discussions should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended May 1, 1999,
and the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 1999.

April 1998 Transactions


On April 24, 1998, (i) Iron Age Holdings Corporation ("Holdings"), the parent
company of Iron Age, issued its 12 1/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2009 (the
"Discount Notes") in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $45.14
million, (ii) Iron Age issued its 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the
"Senior Subordinated Notes") in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million,
and (iii) Holdings and Iron Age entered into a new credit facility (the "New
Credit Facility") that, as amended,  provides for a $51.6 million senior secured
credit facility consisting of a $30.0 million revolving working capital facility
and a $21.6 million revolving acquisition facility.  Holdings and the Company
used excess cash and net proceeds from the Discount Notes, the Senior
Subordinated Notes and the New Credit Facility to repay a syndicated senior bank
loan facility (the "Old Credit Facility"), repay the Company's 12.5% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Old Subordinated Notes") and redeem Holdings'
Series A Preferred Stock (the "Holdings Series A Preferred Stock").  The
transactions described in this paragraph are collectively referred to herein as
the "April 1998 Transactions."

Acquisitions

In April 1998, the Company, through its subsidiary IA Vision Acquisition Co.,
acquired the stock of Safety Supplies & Service Company, Inc. and acquired
certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Safety Depot Ltd., ACT Safety,
Inc. and J Mars-Knapp Shoes  (the "First Quarter 1998 Acquisitions").  The
combined purchase price for the First Quarter 1998 Acquisitions was
approximately $4.64 million, including transaction costs of approximately $0.15
million.  In addition, on July 7, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of
Work-Saf, Inc. for approximately $0.75 million (the "Second Quarter 1998
Acquisition"). The First Quarter 1998 Acquisitions and the Second Quarter 1998
Acquisition have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations, and accordingly, (i) the results of operations for each
of the acquired companies are included in the Company's financial statements
only from the date of the respective acquisitions and (ii) the purchase price
has been allocated to the Company's assets and liabilities based upon fair
market value.  The First Quarter 1998 Acquisitions and the Second Quarter 1998
Acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately $2.8 million, which is being
amortized over 40 years.

                                      -6-

Divestitures

Effective August 31, 1998, the Company sold the Dunham product line and related
trademarks to New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. ("New Balance") for $2.0 million
and recorded a gain of $1.7 million (the "Dunham Sale").  In conjunction with
the Dunham Sale, the Company's subsidiary, Falcon Shoe Mfg. Co., agreed to a
minimum two year supply agreement with New Balance and the sale of on-hand
inventory.



Results of Operations

Three Months ended May 1, 1999 compared to
Three Months ended May 2, 1998

Net Sales for the three months ended May 1, 1999 ("first quarter 2000") were
$32.9 million compared to $32.2 million for the comparable three month period
ended May 2, 1998 ("first quarter 1999"), an increase of $0.7 million, or 2.2%.
The increase was attributable to growth in the Company's primary footwear
distribution business $0.5 million, or 1.6%, and new sales of $0.7 million, or
2.2%, related to the Company's vision and safety products business lines which
were acquired in the First Quarter 1998 Acquisitions.  The increase in net sales
was partially offset by a $0.5 million, or 1.6%, decrease in net sales from the
Company's manufacturing facility, primarily related to the Dunham Sale.

Gross Profit for first quarter 2000 was $16.5 million compared to $16.1 million
for first quarter 1999, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.5%.  As a percentage
of net sales, gross profit for first quarter 2000 was the same as first quarter
1999.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for first quarter 2000 were $10.6
million compared to $13.0 million for first quarter 1999, a decrease of $2.4
million, or 18.5%. Excluding the effect of $2.2 million of compensation payments
to certain members of management in connection with the April 1998 Transactions
in first quarter 1999, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by
$0.2 million, or 1.9%, due primarily to the effect of cost containment
initiatives which included the consolidation of the Knapp division into the
Company's primary footwear distribution business and redundant store closings.

Operating Income for first quarter 2000 was $4.5 million, or 13.7% of net sales,
compared to $1.9 million, or 5.9% of net sales, for first quarter 1999. The
increase was primarily attributable to the increase in gross profit and the
decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed above.

Interest Expense for first quarter 2000 was $3.4 million compared to $2.7
million for first quarter 1999, an increase of $0.7 million, or 25.9%.  The
increase in interest expense was attributable to increased indebtedness of the
Company related to the Senior Subordinated Notes and the New Credit Facility.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Income Tax Expense for first quarter 2000 was $0.7 million compared to an income
tax benefit of $0.1 million for first quarter 1999. Income tax expense for first
quarter 2000 and income tax benefit for first quarter 1999 differ from that of
the statutory income tax rate due primarily to nondeductible goodwill
amortization.  The Company recognized a state income tax benefit of $1.1 million
from net operating loss carryforwards for first quarter 1999.  The Company needs
to generate $10.0 million of state taxable income to realize this benefit.  The
Company evaluates the adequacy of the valuation reserve and the realization of
the deferred tax benefit on an ongoing basis.  Management believes that future
taxable income will more likely than not allow the Company to realize this
benefit.

Extraordinary Item for first quarter 1999 was an extraordinary loss of $4.0
million, net of a $2.9 million tax benefit, due to the early extinguishment of
indebtedness resulting from the repayment of the Old Subordinated Notes and the
Old Credit Facility in April 1998 in connection with the April 1998
Transactions.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary cash needs are working capital, capital expenditures and
debt service. The Company anticipates that it may use cash in the future to
finance acquisitions.  The Company has financed cash requirements primarily
through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under credit
facilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million for first quarter
2000, an increase of $6.4 million as compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $2.9 million in first quarter 1999. The increase in cash from
operating activities is primarily the result of the increase in accrued interest
of $2.5 million in connection with the April 1998 Transactions and a decrease of
$0.6 million in inventory levels.

Excluding cash paid for acquisitions, the Company's investing activities
consisted of capital expenditures of $0.4 million for both first quarter 2000
and first quarter 1999. Capital expenditures for first quarter 2000 included
capital expenditures related to improvements in retail stores, shoemobiles and
equipment.  Capital expenditures for first quarter 1999 included $0.2 million in
remaining costs related to the addition to the Company's central distribution
center building. The remaining $0.2 million in capital expenditures was related
to improvements in retail stores, shoemobiles and equipment in the primary
footwear distribution business and installing POS (Point-of-Sale) systems in
stores and trucks acquired in connection with the First Quarter 1998
Acquisitions.

The Company's total working capital as of May 1, 1999 was $46.0 million.  At
January 30, 1999, working capital was $48.0 million.  The primary reason for the
decrease to working capital was accrued interest incurred in connection with the
April 1998 Transactions.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

The Company used approximately $3.6 million from financing activities for first
quarter 2000 due primarily to repayments of the New Credit Facility. Excluding
cash paid for regional distributor acquisitions, the Company generated cash of
$1.2 million for first quarter 1999 due primarily to borrowings under the New
Credit Facility.

Cash flow from operations for first quarter 2000 was sufficient to cover debt
service requirements under the New Credit Facility. The Company's ability to
make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest or premium (if any)
on, or to refinance, its indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures
will depend on its future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to
general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other
factors that are beyond its control.  Based upon the current level of
operations, management believes that cash flow from operations and available
cash, together with available borrowings under the New Credit Facility, will be
adequate to meet the Company's anticipated future requirements for working
capital, budgeted capital expenditures and scheduled payments of principal and
interest on its indebtedness for the next several years.  There can be no
assurance that the Company's business will generate sufficient cash flow from
operations or that future borrowing will be available under the New Credit
Facility in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to service its
indebtedness, including the Senior Subordinated Notes, or to make capital
expenditures.

The Company's debt consists of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the New Credit
Facility and certain other debt.  The New Credit Facility, as amended, consists
of a $21.6 million multiple draw acquisition term loan facility (the "New
Acquisition Credit Facility") and $30.0 million in revolving credit loans,
letters of credit and swing line loans (the "New Revolving Credit Facility").
The Company's other debt of $0.9 million consists of capital leases and other
notes.  As of May 1, 1999, approximately $11.7 million of the New Acquisition
Credit Facility and approximately $7.5 million of the New Revolving Credit
Facility were outstanding.  The Company has additional borrowing availability of
$9.9 million under the New Acquisition Credit Facility and approximately $22.5
million under the New Revolving Credit Facility. The New Acquisition Credit
Facility matures in quarterly installments from July 2001 until final payment in
April 2004. The New Revolving Credit Facility will mature in April 2004 and has
no scheduled interim principal payments.

Year 2000 Issue

  Many existing computer programs use only two digits, rather than four, to
represent a year.  The Year 2000 issue arises because date-sensitive software or
hardware written or developed in this manner may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could potentially result in
system failures or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including,
among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send
invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company classifies its response to the Year 2000 Issue into five phases:
inventory, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation.  Inventory is
the process in which all electronic/computer components are defined for all
systems (information technology ("IT") and non-information technology ("non-
IT")).  Assessment is the process in which all components are classified as
either compliant or non-compliant.  Renovation is the process in which a system
is upgraded, replaced or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

retired. Validation is the process in which compliant systems are tested within
the Company's infrastructure to validate that either the initial compliant
assessment is correct or the upgrade or replacement from the renovation phase is
compliant with the Company's infrastructure. Implementation is the process in
which a compliant system is installed into the Company's production environment
and is used to support business operations.

The Company has completed the inventory, assessment, renovation and validation
of its IT systems, and implemented these systems in March 1999. In the ordinary
course of business, the Company upgraded the applications software covering the
main integrated system.  As of May 1, 1999, the Company had expended $37,000 and
has a total expected cost of $65,000 to renovate, validate and implement
software to address the Year 2000 Issue.  This cost is being funded out of
operating cash flow with the entire amount being capitalized as new hardware and
software.

The Company's inventory and assessment of its non-IT systems (including
telephone, heating/air-conditioning, electricity and security systems) was
completed by December 31, 1998.  This is being followed by any required
renovation in calendar year 1999. The Company is using internal resources to
address the Year 2000 Issue of its non-IT systems and has not incurred
significant, separately identifiable costs through May 1, 1999 and does not
expect to incur significant additional costs in order to upgrade its non-IT
systems.  All validation and implementation of these non-IT systems is expected
to be completed by mid-1999.

The costs of the systems implementation and Year 2000 modifications are based
upon management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources, and other factors.  However, there can be no guarantee that these
estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.  As of May 1, 1999, the cost of bringing the Company's IT
and non-IT systems into Year 2000 compliance is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to reviewing its internal systems, the Company has polled its major
footwear and other vendors to determine whether they are Year 2000 compliant or
to identify any potential issues.  As a result of the correspondence, management
has no reason to believe that the Company's major footwear and other vendors
will not be Year 2000 compliant.  If the Company's customers and vendors do not
achieve Year 2000 compliance before the end of 1999, the Company may experience
a variety of problems which may have a material adverse effect on the Company.
To the extent such vendors are not Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1999, such
vendors may fail to deliver ordered materials and products to the Company and
may fail to bill the Company properly and promptly. Consequently, the Company
may experience delays in sourcing product to send to its customers. The Company
plans to address potential problems with its vendors by identifying and
arranging for alternate sources of supply.  Due to the nature of its product,
the Company does not believe it has any exposure to contingencies related to the
Year 2000 Issue for the products it has sold.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards


  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which is
required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 1999.  The Statement
permits early adoption as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its
issuance.  The Company expects to adopt the new Statement effective January 30,
2000.  The Statement will require Holdings to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted
to fair value through income.  If a derivative is a hedge, depending upon the
nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be
offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability or firm
commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged item is recognized in earnings.  The ineffective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will have a
significant effect on its results of operations or financial position.

Forward Looking Statements

  When used in this quarterly report, the words "believes", "anticipates",
"expects" and similar expressions are used to identify forward looking
statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Company
wishes to caution readers that the following important factors and others in
some cases have affected and in the future could affect the Company's actual
results and could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward statements made by the Company: (i) economic
conditions in the safety shoe market, (ii) availability of credit, (iii)
increase in interest rates, (iv) cost of raw materials, (v) inability to
maintain state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, (vi) heightened competition,
including intensification of price and service competition, the entry of new
competitors and the introduction of new products by existing competitors, (vii)
inability to capitalize on opportunities presented by industry consolidation,
(viii) loss or retirement of key executives, (ix) loss or disruption of the
Company's relationships with its major suppliers, including the Company's
largest supplier in China and (x) inability to grow by acquisition of additional
safety shoe distributors or to effectively consolidate operations of businesses
acquired.
