Foot On Shoes at Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags —
Garda, Italy

25 consecutive years on the floor. One of the longest-standing Indian OEM presences at the fair.

Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags is the world’s largest global footwear and accessories trade fair and the definitive annual event for sourcing decisions. We have been here every year since our early decades. Come and see why.

What 25 Years at Expo Riva Schuh Means for Buying Teams

Twenty-five consecutive years at the same fair is a different signal entirely.

It means buyers who discovered us in the 1990s are still working with us. It means our commercial team knows the fair better than almost any other Indian OEM on the floor. And it means that when you walk up to our stand, you are not talking to an exhibitor, you are talking to one of the fair’s permanent fixtures.

For buyers evaluating new manufacturing partners, continued presence at Expo Riva Schuh is a direct indicator of financial stability, international commitment, and long-term market credibility.

What Our Partners Say.

Luca Ferrantini, Sourcing Manager, Italy

We first met them at Expo Riva about fourteen years ago. What struck us was that they came prepared — current samples, pricing ready, certifications on the table. Most suppliers at that show need three follow-up emails before you get anything concrete. With FOS it was done by the end of the meeting.

Claire Ashworth, Senior Buyer, Lifestyle Brand, USA

We've worked with a number of Indian manufacturers over the years. Foot On Shoes stand out on one thing above all, they deliver what they commit to, and they tell you early if there's a problem. That reliability is rare and genuinely valuable at launch time.

Sophie Renard, Senior Designer, UK

Their sampling turnaround is genuinely fast. We briefed them at Expo Riva, had samples on desk within three weeks, and signed off on bulk within the month. For a buyer working to a tight development window, that pace matters.

James Whitfield, Design Director, Australia

What surprised us was how commercially sharp their design input was. They weren't just executing our brief, they were flagging construction choices that would affect retail price and positioning. That's the kind of supplier conversation we want.

FAQs

Common questions from buying teams about our manufacturing capabilities, sampling, and certifications.

Where is Foot On Shoes located at Expo Riva Schuh?

Foot On Shoes exhibits in Hall B1 at Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags, Garda. Our most recent stand was B1, D05. Stand allocation for each edition is confirmed approximately 8–12 weeks before the show and published on this page. To be notified as soon as stand details are confirmed, subscribe to our mailing list or email solutions@fos.co.in.

What makes Foot On Shoes different from other Indian OEM manufacturers at the show?

Twenty-five consecutive years at the same fair is a signal in itself and it reflects financial stability, consistent market commitment, and long-term buyer relationships. Beyond longevity, what distinguishes us at the stand is the depth of our sample range: up to 2,000 pairs produced daily gives us the capacity to bring physically representative samples across every category, not just hero styles. Our design offices in London and Alicante also mean our collections are benchmarked directly against UK and European retail trends, not generic market research.

Can I start a new collection development conversation at the stand?

Yes, that is precisely what the stand is designed for. Bring a trend reference, a design brief, or simply an open conversation about your upcoming season. Our team can walk you from brief to a confirmed sample timeline on the spot. If you have specifications ready, we can typically commit to a 2–3 week sample delivery from the point of confirmed spec receipt.

What certifications does Foot On Shoes hold, and can I get documentation at the show?

We hold SEDEX (SMETA audited), SA8000, ISO 9001, HIGG, and RCS certifications. All materials for EU and UK market orders meet REACH compliance standards. Physical copies of our audit certificates and compliance documentation are available at the stand. Full digital packs can be issued within 24 hours of your visit on request.

Is Expo Riva Schuh the right show for sourcing premium women's leather footwear?

Expo Riva Schuh & Gardabags is the world's largest footwear trade fair by exhibitor and visitor count, with a strong representation of OEM manufacturers from India, Turkey, Portugal, and China. It is the primary sourcing show for volume and value-to-mid-premium footwear buyers. If your brand sits in the mid-premium segment, which describes the majority of FOS clients, the fair is well-suited for an initial sourcing conversation. For premium and luxury sourcing conversations, MICAM Milano is often the more appropriate setting.
