In short

A shoe store POS system has to track stock size by size, because that is how shoes sell and how they run out. In POS2026 each size of a style is set up as its own product with its own barcode and stock count. Sales reports show which sizes sell fastest, and supplier purchases record each reorder size by size.

A shoe shop holds more stock per style than most retailers. One boot might come in seven sizes, some in half sizes or two widths, and the stockroom needs a box for each. Customers do not buy a style; they buy a size, and if theirs is missing the sale usually walks out of the door.

That makes footwear stock control a size-by-size job. POS2026 does not have a size grid that groups sizes under one style, so here is how it works: each size is a separate product. That means more lines in the catalogue, but it gives a shoe shop exactly what it needs, an accurate count, a barcode and a sales history for every size.

Why shoe shops switch

Why shoe stock is harder than it looks.

The shop floor shows one of each. The real stock is in boxes out the back.

Boxes hidden in the stockroom

With pairs stored out of sight, nobody knows whether a size is in without going to look, and the customer waits.
Fast sizes and slow sizes

Popular middle sizes sell out early while the smallest and largest pile up. Buying the same quantity of every size ties up cash.
Reorders placed from memory

Suppliers want repeat orders by size. Guessing which sizes to top up leads to more of the sizes you already have.
Pairs in the wrong box

A pair put back in the wrong box, or a 6 sold from a box marked 7, quietly breaks the count for both sizes.

01 · Sizes as products

One product for every size you hold.

Set up each size of a style as its own product, named so it sorts neatly, such as Leather Chelsea boot, tan, UK 7. Branded shoe boxes usually carry a barcode for the exact style and size, so store that barcode on the matching product and scan the box end at the till. Put every size of the style in one category so they stay together.

A style in eight sizes is eight products, so set-up takes longer than a size grid would. In return, the count, the barcode and the sales record are exact for each size, which is the detail that matters in footwear.

02 · Fast and slow sizes

See which sizes sell and which sit.

Because each size has its own sales history, product reports show sell-through size by size. Pick a date range, look at a style and you can see that the 5s and 6s sold out in a month while the 3s and 8s are still in their boxes.

That pattern, often called the size curve, is what you buy from next season: more of the sizes that sell, fewer of the ones that sit. At the end of the season, clear the slow sizes with discounts applied at the till.

Sales by size

Product reports show every size separately.

Any date range

Compare this season with the last.

Clear the slow sizes

Apply discounts at the till to move them on.

How Report works

Two shop employees smiling at the camera — Low sizes flagged, reorders recorded size by size.

03 · Reorders by size

Top up the sizes that sold, not the ones you have.

Give each core size its own reorder level, and you are told which sizes are running down while the rest of the run is still well stocked. That gives you a reorder list by size rather than by style.

Record the reorder as a purchase against the supplier, listing each size and quantity. Delivery status shows what is on its way, and when the boxes arrive the stock for each size goes up. The purchase history keeps the cost per pair current when supplier prices change.

Low-stock alerts per size

Know the 6s are low while the 9s are fine.

Purchases by size

Order exactly the sizes you need.

Delivery status

Track each order until it lands.

How Purchase works

A man sorting items on shop shelves — Count a brand at a time and adjust the difference.

04 · Counting the stockroom

Keep the box counts honest.

Footwear counts drift when a pair goes back in the wrong box or a display shoe goes missing. Count one brand or category at a time, compare it with the figure in POS2026 and record a stock adjustment where they differ. The Stock module shows what you hold in every size.

Two shops? On plans with multi-branch, a pair of 8s gathering dust in one branch can be transferred to the other, where customers ask for them every week.

Stock adjustments

Correct the count after a check or a box mix-up.

Transfers between branches

Move sizes to where they will sell.

Questions

Common questions.

Straight answers for shop owners, based on what POS2026 actually does.

Can POS2026 track shoe sizes?

Yes. You add every size of a style as a separate product, because there is no grid that bundles sizes under one style. A boot made in eight sizes is therefore eight products, and each keeps its own barcode, count and sales record.

Can I scan the barcode on a shoe box?

Yes, once you have stored that barcode on the matching product. Branded boxes usually carry a barcode for the style and size, so scanning the box end adds the right size to the sale.

Does it work as shoe store inventory software?

Yes. Each pair sold or received moves the count for that exact size, and the stockroom tools sit alongside: reorder alerts, corrections after a count and reports by size. Inventory Sales puts stock and sales side by side as they happen.

How do I handle half sizes and wide fittings?

Treat each one as its own product, for example UK 6.5 or UK 7 wide. The count and the reorder for that fitting then stay separate.

Can I take card payments through it?

No, it is not a card processor. Keep your existing card reader, take payment on it and record how the customer paid. If you sell trainers alongside sports kit, our sports shop POS page may also help.
