Double celebration for Wolverine at achievement awards
The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) gave out a series of Annual Achievement Awards at a party to mark its 70th anniversary in New York on June 2.

Outdoor footwear group Wolverine Worldwide had a double reason to celebrate. The group as a whole received recognition as Advocate of the Year, an award for its efforts to advance “the footwear industry’s cause” before the federal government in 2013.

At the same time, one of Wolverine’s outdoor brands, Merrell, was given the Brand Focus award for its “ability to cultivate the industry’s strongest following among its customers”, the FDRA said.
