Top 10 Footwear & Accessories Apparel Stocks
Marvin ranks 10 footwear and accessories apparel companies by Overall score within their industry. Weyco Group, Steven Madden and Deckers Outdoor lead the list as of November 2026.
Footwear and accessories companies design and sell shoes, bags, watches and related items. Results can differ a lot from one company to the next, so a ranking helps you see which ones currently look stronger on basic measures.
This list covers 10 companies above about $300 million in size. Each is ranked by Marvin's Overall score, which compares a company only with others in the same industry. A high score means a company looks strong against its footwear and accessories peers, not against all stocks.
Keep in mind that this is a snapshot, not advice. Some companies have missing figures, and a strong score in one area can sit next to a weak one in another. Read each blurb for the caution attached to it.

Weyco Group has the top Overall score at 93, helped by a 15.3% operating margin and a 16.2% free cash flow margin, which suggest strong profitability. The caution: revenue growth was -4.9% last fiscal year, meaning sales shrank. Debt-to-equity is not available.

Steven Madden scores 86 Overall, with revenue growth of 11.0% and a 15.5% return on equity, pointing to healthy expansion and decent returns. Debt looks modest at 0.40 debt-to-equity. The caution is a thinner operating margin of 7.5% than the leaders.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation DECK

Rocky Brands, Inc. RCKY
Rocky Brands has a high Opportunity score of 93 and revenue growth of 6.2%, a moderate but positive pace. The caution: its free cash flow margin is only 3.3%, and Quality is a middling 58, so cash generation looks thin.
Crocs, Inc. CROX
Crocs shows strong profitability, with a 20.7% operating margin and a 42.9% return on equity. The cautions: revenue growth was -1.5%, so sales dipped, and debt-to-equity of 1.22 is higher than most of the top-ranked names. Overall score is 65.

Wolverine World Wide grew revenue 6.8% and earned a 24.1% return on equity, a solid result. The caution is debt: debt-to-equity is 1.66, the highest among the middle of the list. Operating margin is a modest 8.7%, and Overall is 57.
NIKE, Inc. NKE
NIKE has a Quality score of 72 and a 43.1% gross margin, but revenue growth was nearly flat at 0.2% and the free cash flow margin is only 4.6%. Operating margin is not available, and Opportunity is low at 36.

Fossil Group has the lowest Overall score at 13. Revenue growth was -12.3%, operating margin was -0.6% and return on equity was -76.9%, all signs of weak results. Debt-to-equity of 3.80 adds to the caution.
Common questions
What does Marvin's Overall score mean?
It is a score from 0 to 100 that sums up how a company compares with other companies in its industry today. It blends Marvin's Quality and Opportunity scores. It describes relative standing and is not a prediction.
Does a high score mean I should buy the stock?
No. The scores describe how a company looks compared with industry peers right now. They are not advice or a forecast. Consider your own goals, the risks, and further research before making any decision.
Why are some figures missing for certain stocks?
Some measures are not available for every company, for example when the underlying data has not been reported or cannot be calculated. In those cases the blurb notes the gap, and you should treat that company's picture as less complete.
