In 2023, U.S. shoe store sales amounted to around 39 billion U.S. dollars. According to the NAICS definition, this industry is comprised of establishments who are primarily engaged in retailing all types of new footwear, except hosiery and specialty sports footwear, such as golf shoes, bowling shoes, and spiked shoes.
Shoe stores and the footwear market
Footwear is a multi-billion dollar industry. The revenue of the athletic footwear market in the United States was worth around 14.9 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Most apparel brands manufacture and sell shoes, such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Louis Vuitton. Shoe stores typically sell branded shoes. For example, Foot Locker is an American sportswear and footwear retailer that buys and sells shoes from the most popular brands such as Adidas, Nike, and Reebok. Athletic shoes account for a significant portion of shoe store sales in the United States, with wholesale sales generating over 20 billion U.S. dollars in 2022.
