Sizes 36 and 46 are still available, but the entire line is now 30% off. However, the end-of-season inventory that’s left over is limited to a few sizes, a few colors, and a few stores, while the most popular sizes are still selling at full price. And the size that’s out of stock costs just as much as the one that’s still available: 65% of shoe shoppers have already given up on a purchase because they couldn’t find their size (AlixPartners, April 2026).
White paper

This white paper shows how to mark down items by size, color, and store: track inventory cell by cell, transfer and consolidate stock before marking down, display a price per size both online and in-store, maintain full price on items that are selling, and decide on restocking and discontinuing items. Verified figures from 2024 to 2026 (AlixPartners, OpinionWay, Institut Français de la Mode, Union Sport & Cycle, Nike).
