A few retailers on our Best Sellers Panel had sales in July. Karen Little of Haswell Shoes, Nuneaton, told Footwear T


What the retailers had to say: oday:


“The weather had been a big factor in deciding how the month performed. The Sale was a ‘non-starter’, there are constant sales on in the big stores and it is difficult to get the general public to distinguish between these and the Genuine Sales held only twice a year by smaller independents. A speedy end to our sale (less than 2 weeks) followed and the clean, non-sale window displays have seen a renewed interest – we don’t all want to buy in the sales apparently! The clearance racks outside the shop still do their job – different customers – and are now helping to clear ‘some’ of the unsold ‘sale’ items. “We are now in the throes of ‘Back to School’ – let’s keep our fingers crossed that this landmark time is as good as expected and that parents put the health of their children’s feet in the hands of the professionals – not at the mercy of ‘self-fitted’ footwear.”


Men’s Sandals – one clear winner Josef Seibel
