Wingsfoot, Record November Sales... "Strong Performance Expected Through Next Year"

Wingsfoot announced on the 13th that its November sales increased by approximately 21% compared to the same month last year, centered on the North American brand 'Bearpaw' and the Italian premium brand 'Adno.' This marks the highest single-month sales record for November since the company's founding. Wingsfoot expects the strong sales trend to continue through next year.

Due to the early cold wave, the number of people purchasing winter protection products has significantly increased. Sheepskin boots are one of the representative winter protection items and are regaining popularity among the younger generation. Wingsfoot detected this market change and introduced effective response strategies such as building a premium lineup and strengthening brand awareness through launching exclusive stores. The strong sales in November are the result of these successful strategies, according to the company.

A Wingsfoot representative said, “Based on strengthening the awareness of our main brand 'Bearpaw,' Wingsfoot newly opened an exclusive store at Shinsegae Department Store in Gangnam to maximize sales of sheepskin boots this winter. Bearpaw holds a high market share in the mid-to-low price range with reasonable prices and trendy designs, and its growth rate is accelerating this winter.”

With the aim of diversifying its customer base, Wingsfoot also launched the new brand 'Adno' last month, and sales are now in full swing. Adno exceeded 150% of its target sales volume in its first home shopping broadcast, showing faster-than-expected results. Wingsfoot plans to improve profitability by expanding the proportion of high value-added products through Adno.

A Wingsfoot representative emphasized, “Unlike last year, not only has the product portfolio been strengthened with Bearpaw and Adno, but brand awareness has also improved, so we expect to maximize winter sales based on our marketing strategy. We anticipate achieving an annual operating profit surplus this year.”
