SOLES To Expand Retail Footprint In India, Go International Soon

The footwear market has changed exponentially over the past few years, growing rapidly as shoes are becoming more than just a necessity – they’re becoming a very important fashion accessory. The increasing demand for trendy, yet comfortable, footwear among all age groups is a key factor in the rapid growth of this market. Malls covet good international and national footwear brand due to the growing demand from consumers

One such brand which started with a single store and has now grown into a chain catering to almost all of South India is SOLES.

“We started our journey in 2007 as a women’s footwear brand. That time, SOLES was a single store. Today, we are catering to almost all of South India with our stores. Our target audience is aged between 18-50 and includes women who stand by fashion, who wear fashion on their feet and who seek comfort and trend all rolled into one. We have all company-owned retail stores to reach the end-customer. Our focus is now expansion for we want to spread our retail footprint to the rest of the country soon,” says Ayaz Mahmood, Founder and MD, SOLES Fashion Private Limited.
