SHOE CARNIVAL REVISES SALES AND EARNINGS

GUIDANCE FOR SECOND QUARTER 2007

        Evansville, Indiana, July 30, 2007 - Shoe Carnival, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCVL) a leading retailer of value-priced footwear and accessories, today announced revised comparable store sales and earnings guidance for the 13-week second quarter ending August 4, 2007.

        Earnings in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 are expected to range from breakeven (or $0.00 per diluted share) to $0.05 per diluted share. This assumes a comparable store sales decline ranging from 6 to 7 percent for the 13-week period ending August 4, 2007 compared with the 13 weeks ended August 5, 2006. An estimated decline in comparable store sales of 3 to 4 percent is attributable to the shifting of back-to-school dates and certain states tax-free days later in August. This shift adversely affects second quarter sales and earnings but should benefit the third quarter results.

        Speaking on the revised guidance for the quarter, Mark Lemond, chief executive officer and president said, "To date, our second quarter sales and earnings results have been significantly affected by a decline in customer traffic and the shifting of back-to-school dates and tax-free days later in August in certain markets, particularly in Florida and Texas. While sales to-date have fallen short of our original expectations for the second quarter, our merchandise team has been aggressively liquidating our spring and summer product. Per-store inventories at August 4, 2007 are expected to be flat compared with inventories as of August 5, 2006."

Conference Call

        The Company will release actual second quarter sales results on Thursday August 9, 2007. Second quarter earnings results will be released before the market opens on Thursday August 23, 2007. Later that day, the Company will host a conference call with management at 2:00 pm Eastern time to discuss second quarter results and give initial third quarter earnings guidance.
