One of the most important fairs in the footwear sector begins. The International Salon of Footwear Components, or Futurmoda, opens its doors this Wednesday for its 52nd edition, which will take place between Wednesday, October 16 and Thursday, October 17 at IFA-Fira Alacant.

Thousands of visitors are expected to attend over both days to learn about the sector's trends for the autumn-winter 2025 season. This edition of the fair, one of the most important in Europe and held in Elche for 25 years, will feature 230 exhibitors.

The 236 firms participating this year, 70% of them national, will be displayed across the 12,500 square meters planned. The main countries to be showcased are Spain, France, Portugal, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Indonesia, and China.

During both days, the fair offers a wide range of exhibits of leathers, skins, footwear components and accessories, textiles, synthetics, machinery, technology, or finishes. Everything related to the world of components and leather goods in the footwear sector.

The mayor of Elche, Pablo Ruz, attended the inauguration along with the Councilor for Economic Promotion, Samuel Ruiz. There, Ruz emphasized that Futurmoda begins in a week marked by "San Crispin, patron saint of shoemakers, and the celebration of the first edition of Footwear Week in Elche."

The first mayor of Elche highlighted that this international fair "is helping to put Elche on the map of the footwear industry and footwear components" and pointed out the importance "of sustainability and innovation but without forgetting the traditional footwear that needs and requires exhibition as conveyed by the manufacturers and entrepreneurs themselves, because Elche is what it is thanks to footwear."
