· The hard-nosed competition that exists in the U.S. footwear market - recognized by the U.S. International Trade Commission - ensures that a substantial portion of the duty-savings will be passed on to American consumers. In fact, due to this competition, retail prices for footwear have fallen over 4 percent since 1998 while overall retail prices grew over 25 percent during the same period.
· The Affordable Footwear Act is permanent tax relief for lower- and middle-income American families in the form of lower prices on footwear - something every man, woman and child must purchase, and at a time when they need it most.
