What the retailers had to say:


“September 2013 was 14% up on 2012. The AW collection has been extremely well received. Price points have been much higher We have even sold boots at £200 to £250 per pair and not just the odd one, on average a pair a day. Wonders have continued to perform fantastically. Patent trouser shoes and patent brogue boots. Mjus has been by far our best boot range especially in the ankle and mid-calf length. One area I think we need to be careful going forward is long boots. Although they are selling OK this season I think for next year it could be a very different matter. All we want now is cold weather to move our warm lined and Waterproof boots and there will be one happy retailer in the North.” Andrew Marshall, Strolling4Shoes.


Footwear information sourcing: This month we have an independent retailer in Scotland looking for a supplier of girls’ black leather schools boots which have a trade price of around £25.
