...Shoe Industry and its Impact to Economy of Marikeno: An assessment Introduction Marikina is known as the biggest manufacturer of quality shoes in the Philippines. The main purpose of the paper is to study about the Economy of the shoe industry in Marikina. Marikina encountered a big problem in the shoe industry with the entry of imported products especially from China. But currently, there are steps being made by the city government of Marikina to relieve its shoe industry, which the Filipinos used to be so proud of, from this crisis and to revive it. Background of the Study Laureano Guevara, known as the “Founder of the Marikina Shoe Industry,” was born 162 years ago today. Born on July 4, 1851, he introduced shoe making in Marikina when he opened his own shop in 1881. At the time of his death on Dec. 30, 1891, there were already 15 household shoe factories in Marikina. Also known as “Capitan Moy,” he also served as capitan municipal in the city. A historical marker honoring him as the “pioneer of the shoe-making industry in Marikina” was installed at his birthplace in 1970. Last year, Marikina disclosed that the symposium is very timely considering that the shoe industry has been in a decline since the year 2000 due to the entry of shoe products from other countries such as China. Before suffering a decline more than a decade ago, Marikina City has more than 1,000 shoemakers, including the popular ones such as "Valentino", "Otto Shoes" and "Rusty Lopez" but the number...

...three direct competitors in the U.S: • Passion Shoes: This is a women's only clothing and shoe store. They have a nice selection of clothing but a poor selection of shoes. The shoe styles tend not to be cutting edge. The price point for the shoes is $30-$120. • Bare feet: This is a large, complete, department store. The store however, suffers from cluttered displays and a general sense of disorganization. Shoes here are $30-$120. • Mia Shoes: This is a national franchise that only sells shoes, for both men and women. This company will sell knock offs, shoes just like name brands, but with their name on it. While this store has a huge selection, the quality of the shoes leaves a lot to be desired. This is somewhat understandable as the shoes typically sell for $13-$50. While the shoes are often good copies of famous brand, the execution is sometimes off. Many of the shoes that are made out of pleather and look like they were dipped in wax, giving them a tacky appearance. An indirect competitor is a shoe smith that will dye shoes. The shoes are typically dyed to match a specific dress. Not all colors can be dyed, and dying in general is not the ideal situation. Dying shoes creates a new shoe color that is acceptable only 20% of the time. The two major competitors in Seattle are: • Nordstrom's: Mid- to high-end department store known for their outstanding customer service. The shoe price point is $60-$300. • Saks: This department store caters to the high class, older crowd...

Damage to blood vessels causes because of diabetes results in less blood and oxygen getting to your feet. Because of this, small sores or breaks in the skin may become deeper skin ulcers.

...Aniceta, Donna Faye D. TOIC PROPOSAL Footwear consists of garments worn on the feet, for fashion, protection against the environment, and adornment. Being barefoot is commonly associated with poverty, but some cultures chose not to wear footwear at least in some situations. Socks and other hosiery are usually worn between the feet and other footwear, less often with sandals and flip flops (thongs). Footwear is sometimes associated with fetishism, particularly in some fashions in shoes, including boots. Durable shoes are a relatively recent invention, though many ancient civilizations wore ornamental footwear. Many ancient civilizations saw no need for footwear. The Romans saw clothing and footwear as signs of power and status in society, and most Romans wore footwear, while slaves and peasants remained barefoot. The Middle Ages saw the rise of high-heeled shoes, also associated with power, and the desire to look larger than life, and artwork often depicted someone barefoot as a symbol of poverty. Bare feet are also seen as a sign of humility and respect, and adherents of many religions worship or mourn barefoot, or remove their shoes as a sign of respect towards someone of higher standing. In some cultures, it is customary for people to remove their shoes before entering a home, and some religious communities require shoes to be removed before entering a building which they regard as holy, such as a temple. Practitioners of the craft of shoemaking are called shoemakers...

APPENDIX 25 X. Sources 26 * INTRODUCTION HABI Footwear, a social enterprise established in 2011, produces espadrilles and other styles of shoes from recycled materials. It utilizes rags as shoe components, which are either bought by the community from garment factories or bought by the company for the community. These are weaved by the community and are then brought to shoe manufacturers in Marikina to produce fashionable shoes and espadrilles. Currently, HABI experiences excess (new and old) inventory of woven rags, insufficient stocks, and inefficiency maintaining its shoe inventory. This case analysis will try to address the current issues of HABI Footwear regarding their supply chain. As of now, their current strategy is outsourcing manufacturing in Marikina and using rags woven by the community in Quezon City. Vision and Mission HABI...

...Competing globally in a hyper-competitive industry such as footwear requires tremendous amounts of capital as well as measured investment decisions. The stakes are especially high for ECCO A/S, who is vertically integrated and manufactures the majority of its products in-house. Conversely, ECCO’s competition simply outsources the majority of their shoe production. Although ECCO boasts a superior products in terms of quality, its prospective customer are largely unaware due to the amount of marketing and branding its competitors spend in a saturated and mature casual footwear market. Analysis of the global footwear industry reveals that ECCO is unique in its decision to own the value chain from Cow-to-Shoe. This unique position offers ECCO a competitive advantage when managing its overall quality and introducing new technologies. At the heart of ECCO’s competitive advantage is the use of “direct injected” technology. ECCO’s culture of emphasizing quality has created a manufacturing process that is hard to mimic even after licensing the techniques and technologies. At the same time, ECCO’s decision to vertically integrate makes changing or scaling their operations very difficult and capital intensive. This analysis will examine: - ECCO’s current situation and strategy with regards to the global footwear industry and ECCO’s most closely aligned competitors. - The internal and external resources that will enable ECCO to foster and sustain a competitive advantage in a highly...

Porter’s Five Forces Supplier Power: Greene’s Shoes relies entirely on sourcing branded footwear. The company does not have long term contract with these sourcing, and thus may subject to risk such as reduction in production capacity and increases in manufacturing costs. Particularly, there exists increasing demand of shoes for domestic consumption in China and thus decreasing manufacturing capacity for exported footwear, while factories are facing labor shortages as well. Although the company could choose to source from other countries in case of the above events occur, quality and cost may not be maintained. This may lead to losing of customers.
