According to retailers, the increase in overall sales in the last month of August suggests a recovery for the entire industry. The results had to do with going back to school and traveling at the end of the summer. The U. S. Bureau of Statistics reported a 0. 7% increase in sales revenue compared to last July. Compared with August 2020, it was 15,1% higher, and with regard to footwear and apparel, the increase was 38,8% year-on-year.
Footwear traders pointed out that, due to the pandemic, imports suffered greatly, to which was added the increase in freight costs and port congestion, mainly between the United States and Asia. Everything as a whole has caused the price increase in footwear.
