Some 94% of the exhibitors came away having received orders, while 17% achieved sales to countries including Canada, the United States, Greece, Guatemala, Japan, Italy and Venezuela, along with other nations in Central and South America.
The president of the Guanajuato State Footwear Industry Chamber, Pedro González García, said that footwear sales for the second half of the year looked promising.
