With most areas of the country open or soon to open to shopping,
stores are looking to see how consumers will behave. We surveyed 312
shoppers ages 18 to 60 about their expected buying behavior. Most
shoppers (58 percent of our respondents) have yet to make it back
in to their local footwear independents.
But there's some good news for shops: 79
percent of consumers say the measures
they've seen in stores say that the safety
measures they witnessed were "the right
amount." And of consumers, 63 percent said they planned to shop
in-store with the same frequency they did before the pandemic. n
