Foot Locker and Famous Footwear scooped the sales survey awards at the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) Innovation Summit in Washington, which was attended by 150 footwear executives.

The sales awards are based on data provided by footwear retailers from over 11,000 stores. 

"I want to congratulate Foot Locker and Famous Footwear for earning FDRA's 2014 sales survey awards. It really is a fierce competition amongst the industry's leading companies for this honour, so it is a great accomplishment for these two," said FDRA president Matt Priest.

Quinn O'Rourke from LaCrosse received an award "for his untiring efforts to increase awareness of issues impacting the footwear industry".

Clay Jenkins of Brown Shoe Company and Nike’s government relations team won advocate awards, while Reebok was recognised for innovative digital marketing.

Faith Lewis (FDRA) won a Distinguished Service Award "for her exemplary service to FDRA and the footwear industry for over 20 years”.
