Trade Visitor Statements

16/09/2007
Rosario Rocha,
Owner Haity,
Porto, Portugal

We travel to GDS for a number of reasons: the broad international line-up of innovative brands cannot be found in Spain or Italy but only here – for instance here we have discovered great companies from Sweden and Finland. Furthermore, we appreciate the good organisation and clearly arranged presentation. And just as important … we like the city of Düsseldorf, too.

Andreas Lobert,
Owner Schuhhaus Lobert,
Gera/Germany

For us trade fair attendance is a given. We have visited the fair for 15 years now and keep finding new suppliers time and again. We use GDS for information-gathering purposes but also for ordering with firms that do not have a representative in our region.

Lieve Herman,
Owner Blue,
Knokke, Belgium

Here we enter the new season in a brilliant mood. We use GDS for gathering information and placing orders. There are many good and varied ranges on display here and organisation is excellent. Another asset is the fair’s proximity to Belgium: Düsseldorf is easy and fast to reach for us.


Anton Buchwieser,
Owner Angelika Schuhmode, Rosenblatt,
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

GDS plays a key role: here we find new footwear trends, materials, cuts, styles and colours. This is where we collect first impressions and ideas. Add to this the great atmosphere of the city.

Volker Vedder,
Owner Chase,
The Hague, the Netherlands

We sell jeans and offer matching footwear. This segment has developed very well at our store and is constantly growing – which is why the visit to GDS is so important to us.

Jochen Galipp,
Managing Partner of Galipp,
Gifhorn, Germany

To us GDS is the most important information platform for the shoe industry. I came here for the first time when I was 16. I have not missed a single season since – this is my 98th visit. This trade fair is irreplaceable.

Yves Guinoiseau,
Owner of Guinoiseau Chaussures,
Reims, France

We specialise in large shoe sizes. Here we find a particularly wide choice which cannot be found in France. This is why we love to come to GDS – and we also like Düsseldorf.

Heidrun Dethlefs,
Owner Vabene,
Achim, Germany

We have been visiting GDS for years now. Our principal aim is to find new brands. After three days we always leave well informed and return home enthused.
