@CourtReagan Looks like you are a Sam Edelman fan @caleresinc 😀

@MatPiscatella Not to mention those uniforms…

[Julia Waldow @juliawaldow]

Footwear brands are racing to pioneer carbon-conscious shoes. Here's my latest story for @modernretail 👇 Thanks to @blgoldstein and @smulpuru for their thoughts! https://t.co/65kWfBQHLx

[Beth Goldstein @blgoldstein]

@MatPiscatella Ditto for sneakers

[Beth Goldstein @blgoldstein]

Thanks @howardruben for including my comments. https://t.co/RDuIWjwfPN via @RetailDive

@ChavieLieber Apparently you can use one at The Container Store

[Beth Goldstein @blgoldstein]

@melissa_repko @lesliejosephs Definitely for some categories. But if consumers aren't going anywhere, they won't buy much in the way of fashion. We learned that very quickly in 2020! So it's better for that industry that people are spending on experiences, but there will be a tipping point.

[Julia Waldow @juliawaldow]

Another shoe story for @modernretail! Looked into why athletic footwear brands like @on_running and @kanefootwear are getting into kids' footwear. Thanks to @blgoldstein for the additional analysis! https://t.co/60C8RNWwmv

@RetailMinded I was in ORD this evening and took a photo of the LEGO vending machine! Partly to show my daughter and partly because I thought it was a really interesting one.

[Julia Waldow @juliawaldow]

Shoppers are continuing to snap up Crocs! The company says it's seeing "exceptional" demand for its shoes, especially internationally and via digital channels. My latest for @modernretail, with helpful context from @blgoldstein: https://t.co/0gRYZ7G4LG

[Beth Goldstein @blgoldstein]

@NeilRetail @DICKS That is true. Entertaining from the outside b/c it is so ridiculous, but yes, a nuisance.

[Julia Waldow @juliawaldow]

"We’re not mass producing shoes here. We’re doing everything slow fashion." Spoke with the founder of @GroundedPeople on the company's 1st official collection of vegan shoes. More here (+ thanks to @blgoldstein for insight into the market): @modernretail https://t.co/apt632V7B3

Retailers and manufacturers are looking ahead to 2023 — charting a new normal for retailing as older, unworkable standards and models get renovated or packed away.

@philwahba @BerkowitzBT I've noticed a number of mini spa/clinic type businesses (on one corner it looks like there will be three of them) as well as dental "bars" opening up on Broadway in that area. Tapping into the interest in wellness and self-care.

@AccessoryNews @AccessoriesMag winter issue is out! Over 100 shop-able brands, great stories & stunning photos! https://t.co/W9ZZPFtHFY

[The NPD Group @npdgroup]

Our Footwear & Accessories Industry Analyst @blgoldstein shared some thoughts on the most popular shoes of 2022: "Even amid the dress shoe popularity this year, clearly, casual comfort still rules."

20% of consumers plan to use social media to research products for holiday, +2pts compared to last year.

TikTok has increased significantly in how consumers plan to research products, stealing share from legacy players in the space.
