Footwear News (sometimes referred to as FN) is a weekly print publication on the topic of women's, men's, and children's footwear. Founded in 1945, its coverage is for the fashion design and fashion retail industries. [2] It was originally published by Fairchild Media. The publication also operates FootwearNews.com which runs more consumer content than the print publication. [3]

The publication hosts the annual FN Achievement Awards, which has been referred to as the "Shoe Oscars." [4] It also hosts the FN CEO Summit, an event with footwear industry CEOs, designers, and brand builders. [5]

Footwear News was owned by Condé Nast and operated under the Fairchild Media brand. [6] It became a part of Penske Media Corporation when the company purchased Fairchild Media for $100 million in 2014. [7]
