We all know that #shoes are more than just something to #wear—they represent #comfort, #durability, and #style, and #consumers are becoming more selective every day. But what are they really looking for, and how can your #brand stay ahead? After diving deep into the performance of #casual #shoes across major brands, some insights stand out that every #footwear leader should take to heart: 💡Fit & Comfort Aren’t Optional: Brands like Five Ten® and Vans are nailing it when it comes to #size consistency and #foot #support. No surprise that they’re building serious customer #loyalty! Who doesn't love a shoe that fits like it was made for them? 💪 Durability Matters: In a world where fast #fashion often sacrifices #quality, Five Ten proves that consumers want shoes that last. Can your shoes stand the test of #time? 🎨 Style vs. Substance: It’s not enough to just look good—Blowfish Malibu and ECCO are blending style with comfort. They’ve figured out that people want shoes that feel as good as they look. But here’s where it gets real—some brands are falling short in areas that truly matter to their customers. Whether it’s #arch support or #soles that wear out too quickly, those small details can make or #break a customer’s #experience. The big question: Is your brand listening to what consumers are really saying, or just focused on the next #trend? Now’s the time to step into the shoes (pun intended!) of your customers and ask—are we delivering what they really want? #customerinsights #footwearbrands #consumerfirst #qualitymatters #footwearinnovation #brandbuilding #standout #consumerinsights #actionableinsight #ai #footwear #shoes #brandstrategy #review

Understanding the Shoe Scaling Process 📏👟 Ever wondered how we make sure every shoe fits just right? It’s all thanks to the shoe scaling process! When we create a new shoe design, we start with a master size, usually a sample size. From there, we use a technique called scaling to adjust the design for different sizes. This means making sure the proportions stay perfect, whether it’s a size 5 or a size 12. The process involves detailed measurements and precise adjustments to ensure every size is comfortable and looks great. We’re always working to improve our scaling methods to make sure our shoes fit everyone just right. Because at the end of the day, a well-fitting shoe makes all the difference! 🚀✨ #Footwear #ShoeDesign #Scaling #Innovation #Comfort

Humans are very different - so are their feet! 👣 📏 Almost all sizing tables are based on your foot length, but did you know feet of the same length can look very differently?? The picture displays three very different foot shapes, that all share the same length of 250 mm, but they are very different in width and shape! 🤩 That is the reason why measuring just your foot length is way too little to get a high probability, your chosen shoe size will really fit. At Footprint Technologies we are considering up to 8 fitting-relevant points of each foot to derive our size & fit recommendation. As you can imagine this holistic approach outperforms any classical sizing method. 😇 📣 To all the shoe brands out there: Get in touch if you want to find answers to your unresolved questions about feet and fitting. We are glad to discuss how we can support you with our data-driven approach. 💫 👉 Which other human problem can be solved based on data analytics? Please share other great example of data-driven technology improving the world! #dataDriven #footwear #innovation #shoesize

Change does not occur in a vacuum. Change occurs when committed people come together, deliberately, and with a collective intention. We must rise up. Get on our feet. Dare to be uncomfortable. Supported by nature and its cyclical circularity, so that we may take conscious strides each step of the way. On that note, we are excited to announce that we are now opening our B2B partnerships for sustainable shoe brands - or for brands that want to add a sustainable insole into their shoes. It’s really that easy. Good things are brewing and we are excited to share some positive developments in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned and dare to be uncomfortable.

Ugly shoes are having a (long) moment! The trend was initially driven by the desire for comfort over style. It came to the fore during the pandemic when everyone was dressing comfortably and some of that trend has been carried over. This has been facilitated by the casualization of fashion where people are dressing down more and have less need for formal styles. However, as time has gone on many of the 'ugly' shoes have become a kind of statement and so are, arguably, something of a fashion and cultural trend. They’re a kind of anti-fashion that people buy into to show they don’t take themselves or following trends too seriously. But it doesn't work for all footwear. HeyDude, for example, is struggling. The biggest issue with HeyDude shoes is that they’re not all that comfortable and they are also just on the wrong side of being ugly. It’s a shoe that tries too hard to be clever so has ended up missing the mark. Ugly doesn’t actually mean chucking out any old product. There is a subtle art and sophistication to it, which HeyDude does not seem to get. Thanks to Forbes' Hyunsoo R. for including my thoughts on ugly shoes in the great article linked in the comments. #retail #retailnews #footwear #shoes #uglyshoes

🎰👣 Considering only foot length for finding your best shoe size is gambling! Almost all sizing tables are based on your foot length, but did you know feet of the same length can look very differently?? 👀 Have a look at our video: it shows examples from our foot data base all same length of 250 mm, but as you can see, they differ a lot in shapes and width - between 84 mm and 113 mm. What a difference.🤔 That is the reason why measuring just your foot length is way too little to get a high probability, your chosen shoe size will really fit. We are considering up to 8 fitting-relevant points of each foot to derive our size & fit recommendation.
