REVIEW
What the brands said… Ed Waller from Fly London had this to say: “Footwear Today Live is always a good show for us. Our existing customers seemed very happy with our latest collections, and we received particularly good feedback regarding our UK- only SMU lines.
“Listening to our customers and working the collection is very important to Fly London. We were also delighted to see new customers at the show! Now we’re looking forward to the next edition in 2026!”
Also in the Imperial Suite was Adesso. Helen Fraser said: “It was lovely to be back at Footwear Today Live again and to speak to retailers and other brands across many regions throughout the UK. I think it is a great time to come together and support each other, and a show like this enables us to do that. I personally love the friendly atmosphere of the show and everyone at the venue is very inviting.”
Meanwhile, Warren Brown, Key Account Manager at Gardiner Bros, said it’s great to
see more and more retailers attending the show each season… “For us, the best part was being able to showcase more of our brands; we had our biggest stand so far at the last show, and we hope to reserve the same stand for next year. “Something that is mentioned by brands and customers alike at every show is the free lunch and ample parking on site. I think this definitely plays a big part in attracting more attendance to the show each time.”
Elsewhere, Rob Sewell from ART and El Naturalista, added: “Footwear Today Live has become one of the most important exhibitions in the footwear calendar for me. The retail climate is tough at the moment, but the atmosphere at the show was amazing and everyone was relaxed, which was great to see. “I was fortunate enough to see customers from all parts of the UK and I opened up a few new accounts as well. Roll on February as I’m already looking forward to the next show!”
Footwear Today Live returns to the NCC Birmingham on 1-2 February 2026! To find out more information about the show and to register, go to:
