Unite States is a huge market for footwear consumption, its 99% of footwear is depended on import from abroad, among them 85% are imported from China that dominates the first place in American footwear market, followed by Brazil and Indonesia, although Brazilian shoes ranking second place in America, they are not the strong competitor threaten to China, this is because footwear production in Brazil much less compared with that in China, meanwhile in terms of price it is much higher than shoes from China.
Due to more and more relying on Chinese shoe the America Footwear Wholesalers and Retailers Association has urged their government to impose zero tariff on leather shoes from China. Chinese shoes with competitive price took up most part of low and medium end footwear market in American.
The high-end footwear market in America is monopolized by America, Italy and Spain, Portugal and Brazil placed them in medium-end market.
Although Chinese shoes depending on low price share a large part of America markets, the industry is also restrained by low quality shoemaking. Due to weakness in brand, marketing and designing in China shoemaking sector it could be hard to maintain its advantages in American market, not only to saying to enlarge the market in America.
