Tips For The Spring Shoe Challenge
Spring is a welcome time of year for shoe shoppers because, suddenly, you don’t have to think about keeping your feet warm. The colors and styles of springtime shoes are appealing after winter boots. But there are definitely some challenges for spring shoe shoppers, and footwear retailers can offer great advice. You can meet all the challenges with the retail ERP software for footwear retailers.
Spring and Summer Affect Feet and Ankles
Warmer weather means playing in the park, but the type of shoe you wear can cause injuries. Ugly things happen when soccer players wear sandals, for instance, because a toenail can be torn off during a kickoff. If you know you are apt to get into the game, have the right kind of shoes along.
What is the right kind of shoe? One that offers protection and support. Usually there’s a good reason for regulation footwear in sports. Retailers can offer handouts, workshops, and web pages with advice on choosing the right shoe for outdoor activities. This will help shoppers meet the challenge of finding that right kind of shoe.
Flip-flops are another challenge — great around a pool because they protect your feet from the hot pavement but providing no benefit for long walks in an amusement park or shopping trip. Offering styles that will appeal to the flip-flop lover but provide more support could meet the challenge here.
The same type of challenge is seen when stylish dress shoes and sandals are worn to the wrong activity. A great many pretty shoes worn to a springtime wedding are kicked off when it’s time to dance. Advice on selecting comfortable, supportive shoes that also are fashionable is always welcome.
Retailers Can Meet The Challenge
Customers need help to find the “perfect” shoe because there are so many choices. Providing the right shoe is a challenge for the retailer. This challenge can be met with ChainDrive’s software for footwear retailers because it supports all the footwear management functions high-end retailers need.
