Asher B. Edelman wants to try on Morse Shoe.

The New York investor, who is also continuing efforts to acquire Lucky Stores of Dublin, Calif., said in an SEC filing that he holds 9.1%, or 497,600 shares, of Morse Shoe, a retailer of moderately priced footwear through Fayva and Morse family shoe stores. The Canton, Mass., company, which had 1985 revenue of $541 million, said it received a letter from Edelman requesting a meeting to discuss an acquisition and would consider the request in due course. Morse operated footwear departments in the 80 Gemco stores that Lucky closed and sold last year.
