Top Children’s Footwear Brands Start-rite and Clarks tied in first place as best sellers across all children’s ranges in March 2012,


What the retailers had to say: Karen Haswell of Haswell Shoes, Nuneaton, told Footwear T oday:“The weather has been a big factor in deciding which product sells on any particular day - the hot spell brought out the sandal buyers and the smiles, but was very short-lived. Overall, a better month, after a poor February, encouraging…”


Andrew Marshall, Strolling4Shoes,Cumbria, said:”Nearly all our Summer collection is now in and the colour palate looks fantastic. Customers are definitely looking to spend money as long they get service and something a bit different. If we can get some good weather! Look out for anything made of canvas from traditional espadrilles at £15 to wedge sandals from Toni Pons which look fantastic with those flowing summer dresses. On the men’s side I think canvas could be even bigger, we are getting a great amount of interest from young men who have never been in our shop before they are all looking at Espadrilles and Dudes.”
