Shoe industry

Article Abstract:

The shoe industry is mainly divided into outdoor, athletic, or casual style marketers and manufacturers. Competition is increasing within the industry with product line expansion, and the outdoor, athletic and casual styles are all selling well. The retailing side has not done as well in 1995, due to less disposable income and modest US economic growth. Shoe industry results will be average in 1995 and for the next three to five years.

Shoe industry

Article Abstract:

The US footwear market has been weak in recent quarters, along with the retail industry, and there were declines in same-stores sales in 1995. Outdoor, athletic, and casual shoe styles remain popular, however, and the 1996 summer Olympics could influence marketing. The footwear industry could compete in broader retail markets, as well. Few of these stocks are timely for 1996, and some are speculative for the next three to five years.

Shoe industry

Article Abstract:

The companies that comprise the shoe industry are not homogeneous and compete in several different markets. Athletic footwear is still the strongest shoe category, but the apparel and designer-branded footwear markets are becoming more important. Overseas markets and international strategies are also increasingly valuable for shoe manufacturers. Investors should seek stocks with financial strength, safety, and timeliness.
