Is anyone here connected with the footware industry?

Dear All,
If anyone is connected with the footware industry, especially as a buyer/importer, and would not mind giving some advice I would be very pleased to hear from you.
Also If anyone has exhibited products at major exhibition centres I would welcome the opportunity to pick your brains.
All the best,
Erik

Do you want to try my nikes of mass destruction?

You're obviously looking to get a foothold in the industry.
I think it's one for the well-heeled only, though.
Hope you really sock it to 'em, Erik!

LOL - I should haver known better than to start this thread on a Saturday night and expect much from you buggers
I have been asked to find a buyer for these 'designer flip flops' which are made in a rural factory in the Philippines which supports the entire community. There are 50 great designs. I thought I could perhaps show them at a trade exhibition and see if I can find someone to import them. Any ideas will be very welcome.

Ok Erik.
I did read hundreds of results on google but i can't find anything that match what you're looking for.
I'm sorry.

That's very kind of you Gianluigi. I have only had a quick search and found a big shoe trade exhibition in the UK next August. However, it's expensive and a big risk if I got no buyers.
