EXPO SHOES Kiev

EXPO SHOES in Kyiv is an international trade fair for footwear and accessories and a major business and ordering platform for Ukraine’s footwear, leather goods and fashion industries. Manufacturers, brands, importers, distributors, wholesalers and retailers attend the event to showcase and discover the latest collections, establish business contacts and exchange insights into developments in the Ukrainian and international markets.

The trade fair is organised by Artexpo Ukraine, LLC, a Kyiv-based exhibition organiser specialising in trade events for footwear, leather goods, clothing, accessories and components. EXPO SHOES is held twice a year at the IEC – International Exhibition Center in Kyiv.

The fair focuses on the latest footwear collections and accessories. Its product range covers women’s, men’s and children’s footwear, as well as bags, leather goods and fashion accessories. It also features products and solutions from related sectors of the footwear and leather industries. These include materials and components for footwear production, clothing and haberdashery, as well as production equipment, machinery, technologies and chemical products used in manufacturing and processing. Specialist services complement the exhibition portfolio. The event therefore covers key stages of the value chain, from materials and production through brands and collections to distribution.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of the footwear, leather goods, accessories, fashion, supply and retail sectors. The fair brings together Ukrainian and international brands, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors. Its key visitors include industry professionals and decision-makers from wholesale and retail, specialist footwear and fashion retail, purchasing, sales and distribution. Manufacturers, importers and other professional market participants also form part of the trade audience. The fair gives them an opportunity to identify new suppliers and business partners, compare product ranges, place orders for collections and keep abreast of current market trends.

One of the key benefits of EXPO SHOES is the opportunity to view the latest collections first-hand and engage directly with manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and buyers. This facilitates business deals, new partnerships and the development of existing commercial relationships. At the same time, participants gain a concise overview of current products, trends and developments across the industry.

The event takes place at the IEC – International Exhibition Center, one of Kyiv’s leading exhibition and event venues. Its location in the Ukrainian capital provides suitable facilities for both domestic and international trade visitors and places the event in one of the country’s major commercial and economic centres. Held twice a year, EXPO SHOES provides the footwear and accessories industry with a dedicated meeting place where manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and buyers can showcase collections, monitor market trends and develop new business relationships.

The EXPO SHOES takes place half-yearly, and therefore for the 40th time previsibly in April 2027 in Kiev.
