Buying shoes & footwear in Riverside
Riverside is the largest city of the inland region east of the coastal metropolis, where the navel orange industry began — the original tree is still standing. It has a large university and is a major logistics and warehousing centre.
Shoes are the category where buyers most want to try before they commit, because a size on a label and a size on a foot are different things. A local sale lets them do that, which is why fewer shoe sales fall through in person than by post.

Boots move from the first cold week; trainers and lighter shoes move steadily all year.
