Celebrating the footwear industry

The footwear industry, and the entire fashion retail landscape, is emerging from one of the most challenging times in history.

The Covid-19 pandemic turned the industry on its head, but these difficult times have also seen businesses evolve, embrace new challenges and come back even stronger.

Companies have communicated with consumers on a deeper level, increased their digital capabilities and celebrated store staff. Businesses have continued to serve, delight and protect customers while keeping their employees safe.

There was 17 categories, and chances, to shout about your business, products, strategies and staff, and an opportunity for everyone to shine – from Independent Footwear Retailer of the Year to Women’s Footwear Brand of the Year.

The Drapers Footwear Awards ceremony was held at the  Grosvenor House London on 23 June 2022.
