Boots Going North

What Came In

Winter sheepskin boots from O'MY SOLE, checked in and stacked. Boots take longer to receive than most categories because the sizes come mixed and every carton has to be opened to know what is actually in it.

Who They Are For

This is a category Russian and Mongolian buyers ask for by name. Cold winters, long ones, and a customer base that judges a boot on the lining and the sole rather than the label sewn to the back of it. Season off stock wins that comparison almost every time.

What Happens Next

They stay on display for a few days, then the meetings run. Based on how these have moved before, I expect the whole lot to be outbound within the week. Nothing is signed yet, so that is an expectation and not a schedule.

The categories that sell themselves are the ones you spend the least time photographing and the most time counting.
