What the retailers had to say: Looking forward to AW/2012
“This is going to be a very difficult season to buy for, but the one thing I think we have got to do as buyers is to look for something different, that stands out from everyone else. Safety is not always the best option, be brave and look for something else” says Andrew Marshall from Strolling4Shoes, Cumbria.”I think long boots will still be important, but not as much as in the last 2 years. The sheepskin/snow boot area will also slow down as will toning type products. New areas will be casual short boots with punching or subtle stud works, not bright. Also, lace-up military style boots, but not too heavy looking. More shoes are desperately needed. All forms of Waterproof product, which can be worn every day, rather than just as hiking footwear. I think there will be some high-fronted lace or brogue styles, which will be classed as trouser shoes. Bruised leathers and suede/leather mixtures, i.e. long boots – leather forepart and suede legs.”
