A planetary bestseller, in 2017, the sneaker was confirmed as the most dynamic kind of shoe in Italy. When compared to the stagnant consumption characterising other footwear types, it is the only kind to have actually gained a +4%, thus reconciling the tastes of all Italian consumers, whether they are women or men, old or young. Our market is confirming what is currently a global trend affecting both East and West, with reasons spanning both far and wide.

Expo Riva Schuh, the Fair with the highest level of internationalization in Europe
Always more open to the world - with over 100 nations represented and 13 thousand visitors involved - it is an ever more watchful look at the changes emerging from the market and from fashion. Expo Riva Schuh approaches is 90th anniversary with a yet more youthful energy and announces the debut of Gardabags.
For the coming winter season, the ankle boot is once again the essential item in the wardrobe of every woman. The most popular styles include biker and combat boots – all in black leather with metallic details-, but we also find lots of mountain-inspired bootees and cowboy boots reread in a more feminine key.
The casual alternative to the boot is without a minimum doubt the sneaker, by now genderless and no-season. The most stylish are total black with a white contrasting outsole, or hyper-technical and high performance, but also super-accessorised, with appliqués, crystals, sequins, and micro-studs… For a more urban style, we find also classic men’s models like […]

For the winter, the sneaker remains the great protagonist, proposed in a futuristic high-performance version or more stylish and casual version, suited to daywear. Extremely trendy […]
For men, we rediscover the most reassuring classic style for elegant and formal occasions, but that’s not all. By now used to the comfort of sneakers and tempted by a fashion that is increasingly genderless, even men allow themselves to be swayed by unpredictable details that make all the difference: a silhouette of new proportions, […]

For girls, we find cowboy boots and rocker ankle boots, fur inserts and glam lame, while for boys, a sportier mood prevails with some Mountain details. […]
The boundaries between men and women cease to exist, as do those between summer and winter, and inside and outside the home: today, in fact, many models worn between domestic walls are attractive and trendy enough to even be worn outside the home, with a pinch of fancy: from sandals in fur, to embroidered slip-ons, […]
Lightness, naturalness, and colour are the three key-words guiding fashion for Summer that is right around the corner, for men, women, and children. It is reconfirmed by ready-to-wear fashion at the fair.
