  • May 20, 2019 the Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United
    May 20, 2019 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As leading American footwear companies, brands and retailers, with hundreds of thousands of employees across the U.S., we write to ask that you immediately remove footwear from the most recent Section 301 list published by the United States Trade Representative on May 13, 2019. The proposed additional tariff of 25 percent on footwear would be catastrophic for our consumers, our companies, and the American economy as a whole. There should be no misunderstanding that U.S. consumers pay for tariffs on products that are imported. As an industry that faces a $3 billion duty bill every year, we can assure you that any increase in the cost of importing shoes has a direct impact on the American footwear consumer. It is an unavoidable fact that as prices go up at the border due to transportation costs, labor rate increases, or additional duties, the consumer pays more for the product. This significant tax increase, in the form of tariffs, would impact every type of shoe and every single segment of our society. In fact, our industry’s trade association, the Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America (FDRA), ran the numbers and the results are staggering. FDRA estimates your proposed actions will add $7 billion in additional costs for our customers, every single year. This dramatic increase would be on top of the billions Americans already pay as a result of the current tariff burden on footwear imports that was started in 1930.

  • “A Little Foot Note” a Pediatric Podiatry and Ankle Course
    “A Little Foot Note” A Pediatric Podiatry and Ankle Course The foot is one of the more complicated parts of the body due to the ligaments, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and 26 bones. Abnormal pressure can cause deformities because the foot is so soft and pliable. According to DuPage Podiatry Medical Group, podiatrists consider the first year of life to be the most important. Bone formation (osteogenesis) begins during the prenatal development of the fetus. Week 6 of gestation; Week 8 of pregnancy o The arms and legs have grown longer, and foot and hand areas can be distinguished. o The hands and feet have fingers and toes (digits), but may still be webbed. This growth continues throughout adulthood to approximately 18-23 years of age. Infants and children have softer bones because they have not yet ossified. Ossification is when cartilage is synthesized into bone. There are two ways osteogenesis occurs, and both types form by replacing existing cartilage: 1. Intramembranous Ossification: Osteoblasts specialized cells in bone tissue that deposit calcium into the protein matrix of the bone (collagen). 2. Endochondral Ossification: Osteoclasts dissolve calcium previously stored away in bone and carry it to tissue when it’s needed. 1 One third of a bone’s components are collagen, which is a flexible, gelatin- like matrix. Bones formed during intramembranous period are called membranous bones, or dermal bone. These formations usually occur in bones such as cranial bones. Bones formed during the endochondral period are called cartilage bone, as in the formation of the long bones. Periosteal is the formation of successive thin layers of bone by osteoblasts between the underlying bone or cartilage.

    March 19, 2018 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As leading American footwear companies and brands, with hundreds of thousands of employees across the U.S., we write to express our strong concerns over reports that the Administration may consider tariff increases on footwear as a potential Section 301 remedy. We support efforts to strengthen intellectual property protections around the world, and this has been one of the top priorities of our industry for many years. However, we reject the idea that the solution to this important issue is new hidden taxes on every American who buys and sells shoes. U.S. footwear imports already face astronomically high tariff rates that fall disproportionately on working class individuals and families. While U.S. tariffs on all consumer goods average just 1.3 percent, they average 11 percent for footwear and reach rates as high as 67.5 percent. In 2017 alone, U.S. footwear companies and U.S. consumers paid nearly $3 billion in these hidden taxes. This amounts to billions upon billions of dollars paid since these tariffs were first enacted in the 1930s. U.S. footwear tariffs stifle innovation and job creation and raise the cost of shoes for every American. Adding even more tariffs on top of this heavy burden would mean higher costs for footwear consumers and fewer U.S. jobs. Given the price sensitivity of our products, any additional increases in our costs would strike right at the heart of our ability to keep product competitively priced for our consumers.
