Many exhibitors of the 4th CantonSF SHOE FAIR were interviewed and many said:
“When we exhibited at Canton Fair, although many visitors came to our stand, the real shoe buyers were few. The main reason we participate in the fair is to get more orders. CantonSF SHOE FAIR meets our demand…”
“The main purpose that we exhibit in some foreign shoe fairs like GDS, Exporivaschuh shoe fair is to export our goods. But it costs too much that we exhibit abroad. The local CantonSF SHOE FAIR is very good. Its object goes in accord with ours. Of course, we will support this fair…”
“Well, we’ve done good business. We will reserve the same stand and prefer bigger…”

CantonSF SHOE FAIR gained a high reputation from many shoe manufacturers and trading companies for its excellent staging. In April 2007 the CantonSF SHOE FAIR opened an additional outdoor hall, expanding the exhibition area to 15000 m2 - up by 20% compared to 2006. The new hall was sold out shortly after it was advertised.
The exhibitors at CantonSF SHOE FAIR are all in the shoe industry business, either manufacturers or traders. CantonSF SHOE FAIR is only open to trade visitors. Visitors, while registering for the fair, are screened by the organizers. Therefore, both exhibitors and visitors have the best potential for a good match.
CantonSF SHOE FAIR possesses several advantages. First, perfect timing. It runs concurrently with Canton Fair. Second, favorable location. It is located in the Canton Dongbao Exhibition Centre, just opposite the Liuhua complex, which enables CantonSF SHOE FAIR to share approximately 100,000 international buyers with Canton Fair. Third, public praise. It is recognized as the premier national shoe fair for domestic and foreign shoe companies and buyers.
