Footwear Today Live returned to the National Conference Centre (NCC) in Birmingham last week.
The two-day show welcomed over 300 footwear retailers from all across the UK for yet another successful buying event for the upcoming SS25 season.
There were more than 150 footwear and fashion brands on display with all their latest trends, materials and designs. This indicates the impressive growth of Footwear Today Live, as the event occupied nearly the whole of the NCC, with a waiting list of extra brands hoping for last-minute available stand space!
Footwear Today Live is the perfect opportunity for independent and multiple footwear retailers to meet with their favourite brands, see new ranges for upcoming seasons, and hopefully make new contacts for the future. It really is the perfect mix of both brands and retailers under one roof – providing not just plenty of networking opportunities but a friendly and convenient buying location in the Midlands.
The event also included a complimentary lunch, plus refreshments, for all visitors and exhibitors, which went down very well on both days, and was no doubt part of the appeal to pay a visit!
Event Manager, Charlotte Steadman, said: “I am so pleased that the show was another huge success! We had many returning retailers from our previous editions, thanks in part to the increased size of the show with more brands in attendance this time around.
“We’ve already had some fantastic feedback on this August edition, with a lot of comments about the convenience of the venue, and the fact that the event has such a huge variety of brands on display.
“I’m excited to now start making plans for when the show returns on 2-3 February 2025! And I’m pleased to report that quite a few brands have already signed up to exhibit again, so I hope to see you all back at the show next year!”
