How a 95-Year-Old Shoe Maker Survived the Athleisure Wave
from The Turnaround Podcast with Fexingo: Distressed Businesses, Restructuring, and Recovery · host Fexingo
In this episode of The Turnaround Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a 95-year-old shoe company that faced near-collapse as athleisure and sneaker culture took over. They explore how the brand refocused on its heritage, cut SKUs by 40 percent, and rebuilt its supply chain to survive. Along the way, they touch on recent economic data—including real GDP growth ticking up to 1.6 percent—and what it means for legacy manufacturers. A behind-the-scenes look at listener support rounds out the conversation. #Turnaround #ShoeIndustry #Athleisure #HeritageBrand #Restructuring #SupplyChain #LegacyManufacturing #GDPGrowth #BusinessSurvival #BrandRevival #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #RetailTurnaround #MadeInUSA #HeritageRevival #SKURationalization #Footwear #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
