Overall, little is happening for the ten most important suppliers – number one remains, followed by Skechers (promotion from 3rd to 2), the Anwr Group (from 4th to 3), Gabor and Wortmann. Gabor lost two ranks compared to 2023. Waldläfer climbed two places upwards from 9th place. The shoe union (Remonte) was also able to improve by a place. Puma deteriorated from formerly 7th to 10th place.
There are sometimes remarkable developments in the other positions. So the children’s shoe manufacturer Ricosta ranked from 16th to 12th place. Ecco lost two places from 11th to 13th place. Marco Tozzi improved from 90th place, the Waldi Schuhfabrik (Finn Comfort) from 22nd to 18th place is amazing The big leap from Supremo too: from 47th in 2023 to 21st place. Gerli improved similarly from 41 to 24th place.
New Balance made the biggest jump – the fire improved from 112 to 47th place.
