School footwear could revive the sector
In recent times, the footwear industry in León has faced a crisis, leading to the closure of some factories and an increase in unemployment.
However, the start of the school year could revive the sector, according to the expectations of manufacturers, retailers, and authorities.
Ramón Alfaro Gómez, Secretary of Sustainable Economic Development of Guanajuato, stated that after the impact on the children's footwear segment, the industry is expected to receive a boost with the beginning of the school term. Additionally, there is optimism for a good Christmas season and a recovery in employment by 2025.
