How Do Your Sock Sales Measure Up?Great socks are as essential to the customer experience

as great footwear. The gratification that comes with

investing in great running shoes can be diminished

by a pair of low quality socks. Feetures! 1.5 is a

program designed to help retailers boost sock sales

and profitability, while providing more consumers with

products that enhance their running experience.

The national average for sock/shoe sales among Running

Specialty stores in 2012 (per Leisure Trends Group) was

.62 socks/shoe sold. Feetures! would like to work with

retailers to help improve their sock/shoe ratios, pushing

that number to 1.5 and higher!

Visit feeturesbrand.com/1point5 to learn more about the tools we have developed to help you reach that level.

Friends of the ForestAt Feetures! one of our core values is sustainability. Our goal is to develop great products while minimizing our

of the Forest. A portion of the sales from each Feetures! sock will be donated to the National Forest Foundation.
