Footwear Today Live returned to the National Conference Centre (NCC) in Birmingham at the weekend.
The two-day show welcomed more than 200 footwear retailers from all across the UK for yet another successful buying event for the upcoming AW25-26 season.
There were more than 150 footwear and fashion brands on display with all their latest trends, materials and designs – all creating a real buzz across the NCC on both days.
Footwear Today Live has seen impressive growth since the first show, and this weekend’s event occupied nearly the whole of the NCC – spread throughout eight rooms across two floors.
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!
The show’s Event Manager, Charlotte Steadman, said: “I am so pleased that the show was another huge success! We had so many returning retailers from previous shows, plus loads of new retailers, 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 February 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 later this year on 17-18 August 2025! And I’m pleased to report that – even after just a couple of days – several brands have already signed up to exhibit again in August, so I hope to see you all back at the show in the Summer!”
