What the retailers had to say about July 2015:
“With the sale starting mid. month and the summer in full swing we were surprised by the Van Dal sales swing. July also saw Dudes jump to the top of the pile pushing the amazing Skechers into 2nd place on Men’s sales. Yet another month of record sales thanks to consistent sales from Josef Seibel, Skechers and DB Shoes.” Steve White, White & Son Shoes, Sidmouth.
“Trade in July was difficult, weather did not help, too wet and not enough sunshine, customers grumpy, not willing to spend their cash. Getting some stock cleared, but at substantial mark downs, still the Autumn styles are arriving and trade might improve soon.
For those of us in Euro zone it is VERY difficult to trade with sterling based suppliers !!!!”
Bernard O’Brien, LUKE O’BRIEN SHOES, Tuam, Co. Galway, Eire.
