The FFaNY Market Week is one of the most significant and exclusive trade fairs for footwear fashion in the United States. Held four times a year in the heart of New York City, it offers an ideal platform for showcasing current collections, innovative designs, in-depth market analysis, and cultivating international business connections. Organized by the renowned Fashion Footwear Association of New York, which has been committed to promoting the footwear industry for decades, the fair brings together professionals from around the world—including retailers, designers, brand representatives, buyers, and distributors from the fashion and lifestyle sectors.

What sets FFaNY Market Week apart is its clear industry focus and close ties to the fashion market.
It mirrors the fast-paced cycles of the footwear industry with high frequency, making it possible to identify the latest trends in women’s, men’s, and children’s shoes early on. The range spans from elegant high heels to functional sneakers, handcrafted boots, and sustainable sandals. Beyond showcasing new products, the fair serves as a central hub for professional exchange, strategic partnerships, and concrete business deals. Here, established brands meet creative newcomers, major retail chains connect with exclusive boutiques—all united by the goal of shaping the future of the footwear market.

In New York, one of the world’s leading capitals for fashion and design, FFaNY Market Week unfolds its unique impact.
Beyond its economic significance, the event is also socially engaged, notably through its connection with the Fashion Footwear Charitable Foundation, which supports initiatives like “Shoes for a Cure” to provide targeted assistance.

A major advantage is the concentrated presence of all relevant brands and designers in one location—a benefit for both visitors and exhibitors.
Venues typically include the FFaNY Member Showroom Network as well as other key locations throughout Manhattan. Thanks to excellent public transportation links and proximity to international airports and train stations, the event is easily accessible. Attending FFaNY Market Week means more than visiting a trade show—it’s an immersion into the creative energy of an international fashion hub, right in the heart of a city that never sleeps.
