Footwear is worn for providing comfort and protection to the feet. It is usually made of materials like wood, canvas, jute, rubber, plastics and leather. Over the years, footwear has evolved as a symbol of luxury and class due to the premiumization and innovation in quality. In India, with the changing fashion and aesthetic trends, consumers are now preferring to purchase footwear with advanced technical fabrications, which provide maximum comfort with a wide variety of quality and styles.
