Did you just throw on your shoes today?
What kind of shoes are you wearing today? You may have routinely put on your favorite shoes and walked out the door without much thought to your shoe choice for the day. However, those in attendance for the Atlanta Shoe Market at the Cobb Galleria from February 11-13, 2017- think about the shoes you wear constantly. While many people are familiar with fashion shows for apparel...few people think about the fashion shows for accessories like shoes. Interestingly enough the footwear industry is a billion dollar business. According to a recent study released by Footwear News 45% of women admitted to buying more that 5 pairs of shoes a year.
