Bite footwear has been posting some strong results, with a 20% increase in sales for the month of April – the company’s highest U.S. sales in a single month to date. March also showed the strongest Canadian sales numbers Bite has ever seen as well.

Bite Footwear Owner and Founder Dale Bathum told BOSS that his company’s outdoor category is where most of the growth came from with a 66% increase in sales for the month over last year. “I think it’s because the weather has really been great, and people are starting to spend again,” said Bathum. “Spring is a crucial time for our products and these initial sales bode well for our new styles.”

Bathum also said that feedback from retailers, in general, has been positive. “Sell through has been very strong, at least on the west coast, where we are based,” he said. “The job market is improving, and all of the spending reports are up.”
