It’s also a fact that clothing and shoes are an area of commerce that have seen an extra large decline, since people don’t buy new clothes and shoes when they are not going to work and stay at home entirely or at least a lot. And shoes are mainly sold in physical stores, even if e-commerce is growing it’s still only a fraction of the total number of shoes sold that find their customers through online shopping. Not only in places where it’s been proper lockdowns and everything have been forced to close, also in countries/regions where stores have remained open and life in general have been relatively “normal”, the amount of shopping done in physical stores (apart from for example grocery stores and pharmacies) have been down dramatically. Now, of course things vary from location, but in general, the shopping in physical stores have been hit to an extreme in large parts of the world. But since this blog is about quality shoes, it’s the impact of COVID-19 on this industry that I will write about here.
Here’s an overview of what has happened to this industry this far, and some thoughts on what might come next.įirst of all, of course the worst thing with the coronavirus will always be the ones who have passed away due to the disease, and for the families and friends of those. The impact that the coronavirus has had on the whole society is huge, and for an industry like the manufacturing of quality shoes, it’s meant a whole new reality. It’s certainly a special spring that we all have been through.
