Representatives from other leading footwear companies including Dolce and Gabbana, Crocs and Ars Sutoria School also attended.
Paolo Marenghi, Senior Instructor at Ars Sutoria School in Italy, attended the FTF in Milan. He said: "If you organise this event in the US, it is absolutely necessary for the footwear industry to attend in my opinion.”
