Don't fret buddy. Footwear design is in demand in India. Everyone wears something in their feet and companies compete to produce new and upgrade old products. Even if it is a chappal, it changes every year. Also, the footwear designing is not limited to just that. Some athletes require footwears to match their sports and will hire a professional designer for it.
