Our Mission

The Last-Report is the building block for any organization entering the footwear industry. Dedicated to bringing the latest in the footwear business development, marketing, trend forecast, consumer culture, finance, travel, retail, style, as well as, health & wellness. Last-Report was developed as a resource and voice of the Entrepreneurs, Professionals, Students and All who Love the business of Shoes.

The first of its kind. Last-Report is the only footwear news magazine that identifies the shoe business professionals as shoe consumers. The only footwear news magazine that acknowledges western, equestrian and pet footwear as a category. Last-Report is the only footwear news magazine with constant coverage on footwear accessories, hosiery, socks & orthopedics – the only footwear news magazine that has a health segment and an education platform Footwear Design & Manufacturing.

Last-Report has tapped an area of the industry that has not been touched before. We are pioneering this concept and happy to be the first.

Connecting consumers and industry to create a relationship between savvy footwear business development and the savvy shoe shopper. This revolutionary experience gives the Footwear Industry direct insight to what consumers really want and allows the consumer and retail customers to interact with brands they love and discover new brands to follow.
