            The problems involved in this study was that the shoe industry does not seem to yield much needed efforts with respect to huge sacrifices of the manufacturers as well as the government.   This is true in the sense that most of the viable shoe industries are almost at the verge of liquidation.

Ho:      Presence of foreign shoes in Nigeria does not affect sales of locally made shoes.

Hi:       Presence of foreign shoes in Nigeria affect sales of locally made shoes.

            Some of the finding in the research are that the presence of foreign shoes in the Nigerian market affect sales of locally made shoes and also that consumers perceive the price of locally made shoes to be high in relation to their foreign competing brands.

            Based on the above findings, the researcher concludes that the acceptance of locally made shoes is generally not encouraging within our society and this is because consumers still regard them as being highly prices compared to the foreign shoes.

            From the above conclusion, the researcher recommended the following for improvement.
