Forbes Footwear Sustainability Actions

Family-run retail since 1940

Forbes Footwear states that it has operated since 1940 as a family-owned store. Its published history describes a long-standing retail model built around quality footwear, personal service, and durable products. The business says it continues under fourth-generation family leadership and still follows a customer-and-supplier relationship approach that prioritises fair treatment and reliable service. While this is not a formal ESG programme, the company presents longevity, product quality, and service continuity as core parts of its operating model.

Orthotic and specialist fittings

The company has developed a specialist footwear offer for customers with difficult-to-fit feet, including wide fittings, large sizes, orthotic-compatible shoes, and styles suited to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, diabetes, bunions, and hammer toes. It also says it curates products from brands with strong workmanship and quality materials. This activity supports more durable use of footwear and may reduce premature replacement, although the material does not frame it as a formal sustainability initiative.

Staff training and product knowledge

Forbes Footwear says it keeps staff up to date through training and research so they can advise customers on fit, comfort, and product suitability. The company links this to better service for repeat customers and to maintaining knowledge about footwear needs across generations. This is presented as part of its retail practice rather than an ESG disclosure, but it does indicate an emphasis on informed selling and product longevity.
