Argentina shoe industry crisis: 100 factories closed, 10,000 jobs lost in 2 years

Argentina's footwear sector has lost 100 factories and 10,000 jobs over two years, prompting manufacturers to organize a national march on October 27 at Plaza de Mayo. The closures reflect broader economic contraction and import competition, with historic brands shutting down. The march signals rising labor unrest and potential policy pressure on the government.
