The purpose of this study is to measure the users' perceptions of the brand personality (BP) of footwear brands (such as Bata, Apex and Lotto) and to identify the dimensions that exist in the footwear industry in Bangladesh. This study applies Aaker's brand personality scale (BPS) to footwear brands in order to test the extent to which it is applicable to the brands and to investigate the fundamental structure of the brand personality of footwear brands. The data was acquired through the use of a questionnaire survey. A quantitative strategy was utilized to collect the data. For the purpose of the study, a total of 430respondent’s data were collected from different cities of Dhaka, Rajshahi and Rangpur division. In order to investigate the fundamental structure of the BP of footwear brands, descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were carried out.
