    On behalf of the American footwear industry, we welcome anyone from anywhere to come and purchase shoes in America. It helps both our brands and retailers grow. America consumers are actually hit with MAJOR shoe tariffs up to 67.5%...so maybe we should be talking about that...

    The U.S. imports 2.4 billion pairs of #shoes each year, including almost every pair of children’s shoes. On average, Americans will spend a record $248 per capita on #footwear this year. #footwearloveaffair @USGVC #GlobalValueChains

    Today our President & CEO Matt Priest asked @USTradeRep @AmbassadorTai and @CommerceGov Secretary @SecRaimondo to remove Section 301 duties on #footwear. Now is the time to ease the burden placed on American families by onerous tariffs on essential items such as #shoes.

    @realDonaldTrump Footwear is already hit with a $3 billion tariff bill EVERY Year. That's enough to buy 855 Starbucks coffees for everyone in Manhattan! 80% of kids shoes are made in China - U.S. families cannot afford even higher tariffs on shoes! Please - NO new shoe tariffs!
