AYMOD, the International Footwear Fashion Fair, ran from 7 to 10 October 2026 at CNR Expo in Istanbul, showing the spring/summer 2027 season to buyers from Türkiye and abroad. The fair is organised by TASD Fuarcılık, the exhibition company of the Footwear Industrialists Association of Türkiye (TASD), and has been held without interruption for 36 years.
The organisers’ headline figures for the fair are more than 250 exhibiting companies, over 750 brands, 40,000 square metres of halls and more than 15,000 trade visitors, with buyers coming from over 35 countries. The product range covers women’s, men’s and children’s shoes, classic, sports and handmade models, as well as bags and saddlery.
AYMOD positions Turkish footwear on design, quality and competitive pricing, and presents the fair as the main sourcing point for a large share of the footwear sold in the markets around Türkiye — a catchment the organisers put at roughly 600 million people.
For buyers, the October edition is the earliest place to see what Turkish factories will deliver for spring 2027: sandals, sneakers and lightweight leather styles for the Middle East, the Balkans, Central Asia and Europe. Companies that missed the fair can still be contacted directly through the directory.
