136 footwear brands have 266,233 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 54,476 of those were running when we read it on October 5, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.

Footwear splits between drop culture and comfort claims, and the two halves of this category are running ads that have nothing to do with each other.

Which footwear brands run the most ads?

The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

What formats do footwear ads use?

carousel leads at 52 percent of the 4,548 creatives read here, with video at 28 percent and static at 21. Shop now carries 81 percent of the calls to action.

The median creative here ran 37 days and the longest was still up at 958. Run length is the closest thing to a public performance signal these libraries publish, because nobody keeps paying to deliver an ad that is not working. How that compares with every other industry is in the Meta ad creative benchmarks.

Each format on its own page: Footwear video ads · Footwear static ads · Footwear carousel ads

How to run footwear ads on Facebook and Instagram

  1. 1

    Show the product in use in the first three seconds

    The scroll decides in a second or two, so the product goes in the first frame, in someone's hand or on someone's body, not after an intro. Carousel leads in this category.

  2. 2

    Let customers make the claim

    A review, a creator trying it, a real buyer’s routine: customer voice carries a claim further than the brand can. Run several voices against each other and keep the one that sells.

  3. 3

    Give a reason to buy now

    A bundle, a first-order discount or free shipping turns interest into an order. 7 percent of the footwear ads here lead with a discount.

  4. 4

    Let the algorithm find the buyers

    Broad targeting with strong creative beats narrow interest lists for most product brands now. Feed Meta your catalog and purchase events, and spend your time on new creative rather than new audiences.

  5. 5

    Keep the winners running and replace the rest

    The median footwear ad here stayed up 37 days. Give a new ad a week of spend before you judge it, then retire what is not getting results and write the next version of what is. The advertisers with the most live ads are the ones testing the most.
