French footwear industry body the Fédération Française de la Chaussure (FFC) has carried out new consumer research that shows the importance of repairability when it comes to shoes.

FFC conducted the research in January and February 2023, asking around 3,000 consumers for their opinions. Asked if they agreed that all shoes should be repairable to prolong their useful life, 88% said they did. The organisation said expressions of agreement were equally high across age groups and among women and men.
