The footwear market in Belgium

It may be a small country, but Belgium is an important player in the EU footwear market. It serves as an entry point and as such can provide good connections to other countries. Despite the recession, the Belgian market becomes more fragmented with older aged consumers in Flanders and foreign residents in the Brussels area being interesting target groups.
