Charming trade fair with a significantly high number of visitors
After just one day, we are more than satisfied with Gallery SHOES. Our booth has been very busy and we’ve already had a lot of constructive and successful appointments – both with customers as well as potential new partners. We’re impressed by not only the quantity but also the quality of the meetings we’ve had here. Despite the timing, which is very late for us, Gallery SHOES is proving once again that it’s a popular ordering event. The new location of the Kids’ Zone is great!
