Published today, official research into the recession has revealed that shoes were one of the biggest things to be cut from family spending during the 2008 period of economic decline. According to the Office for National Statistics, spending on shoes and clothes in 2008 was the lowest since 2001, despite the fact that average household spending actually rose by £12 per week from 2007.

Although it could well be that the recession is causing people to cut back on their spending on ‘luxury’ items like designer shoes, it has also been suggested that the recession has been accompanied by huge discount at clothes and shoes shops, as well as massive price reductions in products like designer shoes. This implies that it is not necessarily the case that people are buying less shoes – but possibly that it’s costing people less to buy them. If the area I’m living in is a reliable source of evidence, I’m going to assume the latter is true! I, for one, haven’t cut down on my shoe-buying at all – it’s the last thing I’d give up! As for sales, I can’t remember the last time I haven’t been able to find one to suit my needs.

In case you’re interested; people in Wales spent the least on shoes in 2008, followed by Scotland, then England and finally Northern Ireland, who spent the most.
