An overhang from the political tensions in Russia, questions about counterfeiting and a stagnant economy in Europe have been on the agenda at Italian footwear show Micam, currently under way in Milan.

Micam president Cleto Sagripanti and Jean Pierre Renaudin, president of the CEC (European Confederation of the Footwear Industry), spoke at the international press conference about the need to support the World Footwear Congress, taking place in Mexico in mid-November.
