Gulp.
Me: How much would a $100 pair of sneakers made in China or Vietnam cost if made in the U.S.?
@FDRA’s Matt Priest: “$300 or $400 easily. In fact, we've even just looked at the tariffs coming into place tonight at midnight, a $150 pair of running shoes will be $230.”

Happy Sneaker Day on the Hill. I think it’s safe to say that I have the freshest office, considering Chris won the award for Best Sneakers on Captiol Hill. 👟#sneakercaucus

Recent findings from the @FDRA show that current footwear growth is unprecedented. We saw a 20.5% year-over-year jump in December. Are you prepared to capitalize on this growing demand? bit.ly/3oju0sJ

“There are very few levers the federal government can pull to impact inflation on consumer goods, and removing the tariffs is at the top of that list” says Matt Priest, president and CEO of trade group Footwear Distributors & Retailers of America (@FDRA).

Due to rising prices on consumer goods, @POTUS has been urged by the @FDRA to eliminate tariffs on children's shoes. The request comes while kids' shoe prices are at their highest point in 70 years, rising 11.9% year-over-year.
