What the retailers had to say:
Karen Little of Haswell Shoes in Nuneaton, reported“The weather has been a big factor in deciding which product sells on any particular day, it is variable – Bright sunshine one day, dark clouds the next. The half-term was a little disappointing as once again parents were keen to get the ‘extra mile’ out of their children’s shoes and it is our policy to be honest – the trust our customers have in our judgement is so important for continuing business. The performer for us was Loake Mens, apparently our prices are very competitive!”
Andrew Marshall from Strolling4Shoes in Cumbria, said“It is very early to read too much into these figures. Earth Spirit is selling extremely well mainly because we ran out of this brand last year, so I guess people are buying them now so as not to be disappointed.”
Other highly acclaimed best sellers included (in alphabetical order):
Anatomic Gel, Cheaney, Clarks, Cotswold, Ecco, Dr. Martens, Kensington, Maybury, Mezlan, Rieker, Roamers, RM Williams, Rhode.
