Because of the changes in people's wearing habits and the rainy weather this summer, sandals sales on the market in Shenyang did not appear to be in the selling season. Some businesses have already started selling discounts and selling goods.

Yesterday, reporters at the Shenyang industrial exhibition hall, Zhongjie and Taiyuan street were pferred. Many shoe store owners said that sandals were not selling well this year, mainly because of overcast and rainy days this summer, and those who bought sandals were few, and sandals on some beds had begun to bargain.

Li Yan, a shopkeeper who sells sandals, said that the sales of sandals this year were only half of that of last year, and the selling price was not as high as that of last year. "From the end of 5 to the end of the past year, sandals have been selling well, and this year will not be able to do so."

Li Yan pointed to a pair of women's leather sandals, saying that this kind of sandals sold at least 150 yuan in the past year, and this year the price is 120 yuan.

Because of the fear that shoes will not sell out and cause backlog, many owners will start selling goods at a special price. "In the past 8 months, they will start to dump goods, and this year is one month ahead of schedule."

Li Yan said.

"Many of the wholesale sandals have lost this year."

In the shoe city of South Tower, Wang Huiping, who is the owner of sandals wholesale, said that the sandals did not go away this year. Some of the retailers had come back to return or return goods after they had sold sandals.

Qian You, vice president of the Northeast Footwear Association, said that sales of sandals this year were worse than before. Since June this year, Shen has been on rainy days for nearly 20 days, the weather is cooler, sandals should be flooded, and people wearing sandals are less in rainy days, which directly affects the sales of sandals this year.

"An important reason for the sale of sandals is the change in people's wearing habits."

Qian said, in recent years, sandals sales are less than a year. "Some places in the South did not sell sandals many years ago. Most people wear comfortable slippers, casual shoes or sports shoes. This habit has begun to affect the north."

Qian said that sales of sports shoes and casual shoes are increasing from the sale of footwear in recent years. Some students and elderly people mostly choose to wear sports shoes, most of them choose casual shoes, especially men's sandals, which are rare now.

"Now many manufacturers do not produce sandals, and many wholesalers are reluctant to distribute sandals." the risk of distributing sandals is relatively large. We must rely on the weather. "Unlike the winter cotton shoes, the north is cold, we must prepare cotton shoes. The shoes worn in the spring and autumn season can be bought in the two quarter, and the risk is also small."

Like this year's weather, sandals are not easy to buy, and many wholesale sandals are losing money.

Qian said that with the change of people's wearing habits, sandals will gradually fade from the market and will no longer be the mainstream in the summer footwear market.
