Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Not e 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Genesco Inc. and its subsidiaries business includes the sourcing and design, marketing and distribution of footwear and accessories through retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada primarily under the Journeys ® , Journeys Kidz ® , Little Burgundy ® and Johnston & Murphy ® banners and under the Schuh banner in the U.K. and the ROI; through catalogs and e-commerce websites including the following: journeys.com, journeyskidz.com, journeys.ca, schuh.co.uk, schuh.ie, schuh.eu, littleburgundyshoes.com, johnstonmurphy.com, johnstonmurphy.ca, nashvilleshoewarehouse.com and dockersshoes.com and at wholesale, primarily under our Johnston & Murphy brand, the licensed Dockers ® brand, the licensed Levi's ® brand, the licensed G.H. Bass ® brand and other brands that we license for footwear. At January 29, 2022, we operated 1,425 retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the U.K. and the ROI. During Fiscal 2022, we operated four reportable business segments (not including corporate): (i) Journeys Group, comprised of the Journeys, Journeys Kidz and Little Burgundy retail footwear chains and e-commerce operations; (ii) Schuh Group, comprised of the Schuh retail footwear chain and e-commerce operations; (iii) Johnston & Murphy Group, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail operations, e-commerce operations and wholesale distribution of products under the Johnston & Murphy brand; and (iv) Licensed Brands, comprised of the licensed Dockers, Levi's, and G.H. Bass brands, as well as other brands we license for footwear. Principles of Consolidation All subsidiaries are consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a result, Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 were all 52-week years with 364 days. Fiscal 2022 ended on January 29, 2022, Fiscal 2021 ended on January 30, 2021 and Fiscal 2020 ended on February 1, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Our foreign subsidiaries held cash of approximately $ 39.7 million and $ 21.8 million as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to indefinitely reinvest our foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S. If we were to repatriate foreign cash to the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes in accordance with applicable U.S. tax rules and regulations as a result of the repatriation. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued There were no cash equivalents at January 29, 2022 or January 30, 2021. At January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, outstanding checks drawn on zero-balance accounts at certain domestic banks exceeded book cash balances at those banks by approximately $ 0.0 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable Our wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry as well as by customer specific factors. In the wholesale businesses, one customer accounted for 38 % , one customer accounted for 13 % and one customer accounted for 7 % of our total trade receivables balance, while no other customer accounted for more than 6 % of our total trade receivables balance as of January 29, 2022. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors. We also establish allowances for sales returns, customer deductions and co-op advertising based on specific circumstances, historical trends and projected probable outcomes. Inventory Valuation In our footwear wholesale operations and our Schuh Group segment, cost for inventory that we own is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Net realizable value is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices reflected in future orders for footwear wholesale. We provide a valuation allowance when the inventory has not been marked down to net realizable value based on current selling prices or when the inventory is not turning and is not expected to turn at satisfactory levels. In our retail operations, other than the Schuh Group segment, we employ the retail inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of inventories. Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates, including merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates, coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could produce a range of cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent presentation, we employ the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of inventory with similar gross margins, and analyze markdown requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price and inventory age. In addition, we accrue markdowns as necessary. These additional markdown accruals reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to return products to vendors and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to markdown allowances, we maintain reserves for shrinkage and damaged goods based on historical rates. Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends and overall economic conditions. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of inventory value. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and building equipment 20 - 45 years Computer hardware, software and equipment 3 - 10 years Furniture and fixtures 10 years Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was approximately $ 42.4 million, $ 45.6 million and $ 49.4 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Leases We recognize lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as described under ASC 842. We evaluate renewal options and break options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis and include renewal options and break options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our expected lease terms for calculations of the right-of-use assets and liabilities. Approximately 2 % of our leases contain renewal options. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. As most of our leases do not provide a determinable implicit rate, we estimate our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based upon a synthetic credit rating and yield curve analysis at the lease commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. For lease payments in foreign currencies, the incremental borrowing rate is adjusted to be reflective of the risk associated with the respective currency. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment, if any, of operating lease assets. We test right-of-use assets for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets. Net lease costs are included within selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of that long-lived asset. Our asset retirement obligations are primarily associated with leasehold improvements that we are contractually obligated to remove at the end of a lease to comply with the lease agreement. We recognize asset retirement obligations at the inception of a lease with such conditions if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations are recorded in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated asset retirement obligations. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over its useful life. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include asset retirement obligations related to leases of $ 11.5 million as of both January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We periodically assess the realizability of our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, and evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets. We annually assess our goodwill and indefinite lived trade names for impairment and on an interim basis if indicators of impairment are present. Our annual assessment date of goodwill and indefinite lived trade names is the first day of the fourth quarter. In accordance with ASC 350, we have the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If, after such assessment, we conclude that the asset is not impaired, no further action is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative impairment test for goodwill compares the fair value of each reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recorded for the amount, if any, in which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. We estimate fair value using the best information available, and compute the fair value derived by a combination of the market and income approach. The market approach is based on observed market data of comparable companies to determine fair value. The income approach utilizes a projection of a reporting unit’s estimated operating results and cash flows that are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions. A key assumption in our fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting our cash flow projections in our income approach. The projection uses our best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. Fair Value The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Topic defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for corresponding goods. The majority of our sales are single performance obligation arrangements for retail sale transactions for which the transaction price is equivalent to the stated price of the product, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product at the point of sale. Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Revenue from catalog and internet sales is recognized at estimated time of delivery to the customer, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Actual amounts of markdowns have not differed materially from estimates. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales. We exclude sales and value added tax collected on behalf of third parties from transaction price. A provision for estimated returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Estimated returns are based on historical returns and claims. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from historical experience. Revenue from gift cards is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within net sales in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer in future periods. We perform an evaluation of historical redemption patterns from the date of original issuance to estimate future period redemption activity. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include an accrued liability for gift cards of $ 6.3 million and $ 5.0 million as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. Gift card breakage recognized as revenue was $ 1.0 million, $ 0.8 million and $ 1.0 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During Fiscal 2022, we recognized $ 3.1 million of gift card redemptions and gift card breakage revenue that were included in the gift card liability as of January 30, 2021. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Cost of Sales For our retail operations, the cost of sales includes actual product cost, the cost of transportation to our warehouses from suppliers, the cost of transportation from our warehouses to the stores and the cost of transportation from our warehouses to the customer. Additionally, the cost of our distribution facilities allocated to our retail operations is included in cost of sales. For our wholesale operations, the cost of sales includes the actual product cost and the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all operating costs excluding (i) those related to the transportation of products from the supplier to the warehouse, (ii) for our retail operations, those related to the transportation of products from the warehouse to the store and from the warehouse to the customer and (iii) costs of our distribution facilities which are allocated to our retail operations. Wholesale costs of distribution are included in selling and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the amounts of $ 12.8 million, $ 10.1 million and $ 5.6 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We record buying, merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and administrative expense. Because we do not include these costs in cost of sales, our gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the calculation of gross margin. Retail occupancy costs recorded in selling and administrative expense were $ 299.6 million, $ 269.8 million and $ 334.4 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs related to inventory purchased from suppliers are included in the cost of inventory and are charged to cost of sales in the period that the inventory is sold. All other shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred except for wholesale costs of distribution and shipping costs for product shipped from stores, which are included in selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $ 106.4 million, $ 80.1 million and $ 72.3 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Consideration to Resellers In our wholesale businesses, we do not have any written buy-down programs with retailers, but we have provided certain retailers with markdown allowances for obsolete and slow-moving products that are in the retailer’s inventory. We estimate these allowances and provide for them as reductions to revenues at the time revenues are recorded. Markdowns are negotiated with retailers and changes are made to the estimates as agreements are reached. Actual amounts for markdowns have not differed materially from estimates. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Cooperative Advertising Cooperative advertising funds are made available to most of our wholesale footwear customers. In order for retailers to receive reimbursement under such programs, the retailer must meet specified advertising guidelines and provide appropriate documentation of expenses to be reimbursed. Our cooperative advertising agreements require that wholesale customers present documentation or other evidence of specific advertisements or display materials used for our products by submitting the actual print advertisements presented in catalogs, newspaper inserts or other advertising circulars, or by permitting physical inspection of displays. Additionally, our cooperative advertising agreements require that the amount of reimbursement requested for such advertising or materials be supported by invoices or other evidence of the actual costs incurred by the retailer. Vendor Allowances From time to time, we negotiate allowances from our vendors for markdowns taken or expected to be taken. These markdowns are typically negotiated on specific merchandise and for specific amounts. These specific allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of sales in the period in which the markdowns are taken. Markdown allowances not attached to specific inventory on hand or already sold are applied to concurrent or future purchases from each respective vendor. We receive support from some of our vendors in the form of reimbursements for cooperative advertising and catalog costs for the launch and promotion of certain products. The reimbursements are agreed upon with vendors and represent specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by us to sell the vendor’s specific products. Such costs and the related reimbursements are accumulated and monitored on an individual vendor basis, pursuant to the respective cooperative advertising agreements with vendors. Such cooperative advertising reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in the same period in which the associated expense is incurred. If the amount of cash consideration received exceeds the costs being reimbursed, such excess amount would be recorded as a reduction of cost of sales. Vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising costs recognized as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses were $ 10.7 million, $ 6.2 million and $ 9.1 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, our vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising received were not in excess of the costs incurred. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated at monthly average exchange rates. The unearned gains and losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions were not material for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. Commitments As a result of the Togast acquisition, we also have a commitment to Samsung C&T America, Inc. (“Samsung”) related to the ultimate sale and valuation of related inventories owned by Samsung. If the product is sold below Samsung’s cost, we are committed to Samsung for the difference between the sales price and its cost. At January 29, 2022, the related inventory owned by Samsung had a historical cost of $ 11.4 million. As of January 29, 2022, we believe that we have appropriately accounted for any differences between the fair value of the Samsung inventory and Samsung’s historical cost.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 New Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. This guidance aims to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles within the current guidance and by clarifying and amending the current guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 . This guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" , as amended and supplemented by subsequent ASUs (collectively, “ASU 2020-04”), which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and is effective immediately, but is only available through December 31, 2022. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

COVID- 19

COVID- 19	12 Months Ended

Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both [Abstract]
COVID-19	Note 3 COVID-19 In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. To help control the spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of our employees and customers, we temporarily closed or modified operating models and hours of our retail stores in North America, the U.K. and the ROI beginning in March 2020, both in response to governmental requirements including “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates and voluntarily, beyond the requirements of local government authorities. A portion of our store fleet remained closed during Fiscal 2021 and the majority of Fiscal 2022. By the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 2022, we were operating in substantially all locations. Changes made in our operations, including temporary closures, combined with reduced customer traffic due to concerns over COVID-19, resulted in a material impact on our business. This prompted us to update our impairment analyses of our retail store portfolios and related lease right-of-use assets. For certain lower-performing stores, we compared the carrying value of store assets to undiscounted cash flows with updated assumptions on near-term profitability. We evaluated our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for indicators of impairment at the end of each quarter of Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022. During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, such evaluation caused us to determine that, when considering the impact of COVID-19, indicators of impairment existed relating to the goodwill associated with Schuh Group and certain other trademarks. Therefore, we updated the goodwill impairment analysis for Schuh Group, and, as a result, recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 79.3 million during the quarter ended May 2, 2020. In addition, we updated our impairment analysis for other intangible assets and, as a result, recorded a trademark impairment charge of $ 5.3 million during the quarter ended May 2, 2020. There were no impairment indicators for the remainder of Fiscal 2021 or for Fiscal 2022. We evaluated our remaining tangible assets, particularly accounts receivable and inventory. Our wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not Note 3 COVID-19, Continued collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry, such as COVID-19, as well as by customer specific factors. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. We also record reserves for obsolete and slow-moving inventory and for estimated shrinkage between physical inventory counts. During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recorded incremental inventory reserve provisions as a result of excess inventory due to the impact of COVID-19 on retail traffic and demand for certain products. Depending on future customer behavior, among other factors, we may incur additional inventory reserve provisions. During Fiscal 2021 and the first half of Fiscal 2022, we withheld certain contractual rent payments generally correlating with time periods when our stores were closed and/or correlating with sales declines from Fiscal 2020. We continue to recognize rent expense in accordance with the contractual terms. We worked with landlords in various markets to seek commercially reasonable lease concessions given the impact of COVID-19. In cases where the agreements did not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligation of the lessee such that the total cash flows of the modified lease were substantially the same or less than the total cash flows of the existing lease, we did not reevaluate the contract terms. For these lease agreements, we recognized a reduction in variable rent expense in the period that the concession was granted. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the CARES Act, which, among other things, provided employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who were unable to work during the COVID-19 pandemic and options to defer payroll tax payments. Based on our evaluation of the CARES Act, we qualified for certain employer payroll tax credits as well as the deferral of payroll and other tax payments in the future, which were treated as government subsidies to offset related operating expenses. Qualified payroll tax credits under the CARES Act and other foreign subsidy programs reduced our selling and administrative expenses by approximately $ 7.8 million and $ 13.8 million during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively, on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Savings from a government program in the U.K. have provided property tax relief for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 of approximately $ 9.7 million and $ 13.3 million, respectively. Other government relief programs in the U.K., the ROI and Canada provided savings in Fiscal 2022 of approximately $ 5.2 million in the aggregate. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The emergence of variants from the original strain, its economic impact and actions taken in response thereto, including, without limitation, the timing and availability of COVID-19 vaccines and effective medical treatments may result in prolonged or recurring periods of store closures and modified operating schedules and may result in changes in customer behaviors, including a potential reduction in consumer discretionary spending in our stores and online. These may lead to increased asset recovery and valuation risks, such as impairment of our store and other assets and an inability to realize deferred tax assets due to sustaining losses in certain jurisdictions. The uncertainties in the global economy have and are likely to continue to impact the financial viability of our suppliers, and other business partners, which have interrupted and may continue to interrupt our supply chain, limit our ability to collect receivables and require other changes to our operations. These and other factors have and may continue to adversely impact our net sales, gross margin, operating income and earnings per share financial measures.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Note 4 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment were as follows: (In thousands) Journeys Licensed Total Balance, January 30, 2021 $ 10,082 $ 28,468 $ 38,550 Effect of foreign currency exchange rates 5 1 6 Balance, January 29, 2022 $ 10,087 $ 28,469 $ 38,556 During the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we identified qualitative indicators of impairment, including a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, since the last consideration of indicators of impairment in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 for our Schuh Group reporting unit. When indicators of impairment are present on an interim basis, we must assess whether it is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50 % chance) that an impairment has occurred. Due to the identified indicators of impairment in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021, we determined that it was “more likely than not” that an impairment had occurred and performed a full valuation of our Schuh Group reporting. Based upon the results of these analyses, we concluded the goodwill attributed to Schuh Group was fully impaired. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $ 79.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. Goodwill Valuation (Schuh Group) We estimated the fair value of our Schuh reporting unit in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021 using a discounted cash flow method (income approach) weighted 50 % and a guideline public company method (market approach) weighted 50 % . The key assumptions used under the income approach include the following: • Future cash flow assumptions - Our projections for the Schuh reporting unit were based on organic growth and were derived from historical experience and assumptions regarding future growth and profitability trends, including considerations for the impact from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis incorporated an assumed period of cash flows of seven years with a terminal value. • Discount rate - The discount rate was based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) for the reporting unit. The components of WACC are the cost of equity and the cost of debt, each of which requires judgment by management to estimate. We developed our cost of equity estimate based on perceived risks and predictability of future cash flows. The WACC used to estimate the fair values of the Schuh reporting unit was 16 % . The guideline company method involves analyzing transaction and financial data of publicly traded companies to develop multiples, which are adjusted to account for differences in growth prospects and risk profiles of the reporting unit and comparable companies. Note 4 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Continued Other Intangible Assets Trademark Valuation In addition, as a result of the factors noted above, we evaluated the fair value of our trademarks during the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. The fair value of trademarks was determined based on the royalty savings approach. This analysis indicated trademark impairment in our Journeys Group and Johnston & Murphy Group. As a result, we recorded a trademark impairment of $ 5.3 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2021. This charge is included in asset impairment and other, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Key assumptions included in the estimation of the fair value for trademarks include the following: • Future cash flow assumptions - Future cash flow assumptions include retail sales from our retail store operations and ecommerce retail sales. Sales were based on organic growth and were derived from historical experience and assumptions regarding future growth, including considerations for the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our analysis incorporated an assumed period of cash flows of five years with a terminal value. • Royalty rate - The royalty rate used to estimate the fair values of our reporting units’ trademarks was 1 % . • Discount rate - The discount rate was based on an estimated WACC for each business. The components of WACC are the cost of equity and the cost of debt, each of which requires judgment by management to estimate. The WACC used to estimate the fair values of our reporting units’ trademarks was approximately 15 % .

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt	Note 9 Long-Term Debt Credit Facility On January 28, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 31, 2018 between us, certain of our subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as agent (as amended, the “Credit Facility” or the “Credit Agreement”), to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date to January 28, 2027 , (ii) remove the first in-last out term loan that was in an amount equal to $ 17.5 million and (iii) add certain in-transit inventory to the borrowing base, subject to customary eligibility requirements. In addition, the Third Amendment makes conforming changes to replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and EURIBOR. The Total Commitments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the revolving loans remains at $ 332.5 million. Note 9 Long-Term Debt, Continued The Credit Facility continues to be secured by certain assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company, including accounts receivable, inventory, payment intangibles and deposit accounts. Equity interests, certain equipment, intellectual property and most leasehold interests are specifically excluded. The Credit Facility continues to provide for the borrowing base to include real estate as those assets are added or maintained as collateral and contains customary real estate covenants. The current outstanding long-term debt balance of $ 15.7 million bears interest at an average rate of 1.48 % and matures January 28, 2027 . Deferred financing costs incurred of $ 1.2 million related to the amended Credit Facility were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the new agreement. The remaining balance of deferred financing costs incurred related to the previous Credit Facility are being amortized over the term of the new agreement. These costs are included in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Credit Facility is a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $ 332.5 million, including (i) for the Company and other borrowers formed in the U.S., a $ 70.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a domestic swingline subfacility of up to $ 45.0 million, (ii) for GCO Canada ULC, a revolving credit subfacility in an amount not to exceed $ 70.0 million, which includes a $ 5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility of up to $ 5.0 million, and (iii) for Genesco (UK) Limited, a revolving credit subfacility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $ 100.0 million, which includes a $ 10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a swingline subfacility of up to $ 10.0 million. Any swingline loans and any letters of credit and borrowings under the Canadian and U.K. subfacilities will reduce the availability under the Credit Facility on a dollar for dollar basis. We have the option, from time to time, to increase the availability under the Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to $ 200.0 million subject to, among other things, the receipt of commitments for the increased amount. In connection with this increased facility, the Canadian revolving credit subfacility may be increased by no more than $ 15.0 million and the UK revolving credit subfacility may be increased by no more than $ 100.0 million. The aggregate amount of the loans made and letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of the facility amount ( $ 332.5 million or, if increased as described above, up to $ 532.5 million) or the "Borrowing Base", as defined in the Credit Agreement. We are required to pay a commitment fee on the actual daily unused portions of the Credit Facility at a rate of 0.20 % per annum. The Credit Facility also permits us to incur senior debt in an amount up to the greater of $ 500.0 million or an amount that would not cause our ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to exceed 5.0 :1.0 provided that certain terms and conditions are met. In addition, the Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, prepayments or material amendments to certain material documents and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Credit Facility does not require us to comply with any financial covenants unless Excess Availability, as defined in the Credit Agreement, is less than the greater of $ 22.5 million or 10 % of the loan cap. If and during such time as Excess Availability is less than the greater of $ 22.5 million or 10 % of the loan cap, the Credit Facility requires us to have a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 :1.0. Excess Availability was $ 165.3 million at January 29, 2022. Note 9 Long-Term Debt, Continued The Credit Facility contains customary events of default, which if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and interest on the Credit Facility to be declared due and payable as applicable. We were in compliance with all the relevant terms and conditions of the Credit Facility as of January 29, 2022. U.K. Credit Agreement On October 9, 2020, Schuh entered into a facility letter (the "Facility Letter") with Lloyds Bank (“Lloyds”) under the U.K.'s Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme pursuant to which Lloyds made available a revolving capital facility (the "RCF") of £ 19.0 million for the purpose of refinancing Schuh's existing indebtedness with Lloyds. The RCF expires in October 2023 and bears interest at 2.5 % over the Bank of England Base Rate. The Facility Letter includes certain financial covenants tested against Schuh, which took effect in the second quarter of Fiscal 2022. Following certain customary events of default outlined in the Facility Letter, payment of outstanding amounts due under the RCF may be accelerated or the commitments may be terminated. The RCF is secured by charges over all of the assets of Schuh, and Schuh's subsidiary, Schuh (ROI) Limited. Pursuant to a Guarantee in favor of Lloyds in its capacity as security trustee, Genesco Inc. has guaranteed the obligations of Schuh under the Facility Letter and certain existing ancillary facilities on an unsecured basis. We were in compliance with all the relevant terms and conditions of the Facility Letter as of January 29, 2022.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 10 Leases We lease our office space and all of our retail store locations, transportation equipment and other equipment under various noncancelable operating leases. The leases have varying terms and expire at various dates through 2037. The store leases in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada typically have initial terms of approximately 10 years. The store leases in the U.K. and the ROI typically have initial terms of between 10 and 15 year s. Our lease portfolio includes leases with fixed base rental payments, rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual amounts and others with predetermined fixed escalations of the minimum rentals based on a defined consumer price index or percentage. Generally, most of the leases require us to pay taxes, insurance, maintenance costs and contingent rentals based on sales. We evaluate renewal options and break options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis, and include renewal options and break options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our expected lease terms for calculations of our right-of-use assets and liabilities. Approximately 2 % of our leases contain renewal options. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. On February 10, 2020, we announced plans for our new corporate headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. We entered into a lease agreement, which was subsequently amended, for approximately 182,000 square feet of office space which will replace our current corporate headquarters office lease. The term of the lease is 15 years, with two options to extend for an additional period of five years each. The lease on our current Nashville office expires in April 2022 . We are in discussions on a short-term lease extension for our current Nashville office to extend the lease through the end of June 2022 in order to complete the move to our new headquarters building. Under ASC 842, for store, office and equipment leases beginning in Fiscal 2020 and later, we have elected to not separate fixed lease components and non-lease components. Accordingly, we include fixed rental payments, common area maintenance costs, promotional advertising costs and other fixed costs in our measurement of lease liabilities. Our leases do not provide an implicit rate, so the incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement or modification date, is used in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. For operating leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, we used the incremental borrowing rate that corresponded to the initial lease term as of the date of adoption. Net lease costs are included within selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The table below presents the components of lease cost for operating leases for the years ended January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021. (In thousands) Fiscal 2022 Fiscal 2021 Operating lease cost $ 174,127 $ 160,973 Variable lease cost 21,540 9,562 Less: Sublease income ( 246 ) ( 165 ) Net Lease Cost $ 195,421 $ 170,370 Note 10 Leases, Continued The following table reconciles the maturities of undiscounted cash flows to our operating lease liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 29, 2022: Fiscal Years (In thousands) 2023 $ 169,973 2024 142,451 2025 114,281 2026 93,827 2027 67,026 Thereafter 124,342 Total undiscounted future minimum lease payments 711,900 Less: Amounts representing interest ( 94,934 ) Total Present Value of Operating Lease Liabilities $ 616,966 Our weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate for operating leases as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021 are: January 29, 2022 January 30, 2021 Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 5.8 years 5.5 years Weighted-average discount rate 5.0 % 5.1 % As of January 29, 2022, we have additional operating leases that have not yet commenced with estimated right of use liabilities of $ 10.9 million. These leases will commence in Fiscal 2023 with lease terms of 1 to 12 year s. Beginning in March 2020, we suspended rent payments under the leases for our temporarily closed stores and initiated discussions with landlords to obtain lease concessions. We have considered the FASB’s guidance regarding lease concessions as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and have elected to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 and Topic 840 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract). Also, in accordance with the FASB’s guidance, we apply this election for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in our obligations or in the rights of the landlord. We continued to recognize contractual rent expense while lease concessions are under negotiation with the respective landlord. The rent concessions are recognized in the period when the amendment is executed. COVID-19 related lease concessions decreased our contractual rent expense by approximately $ 17 million and $ 34 million during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, we had an accrued liability for unpaid rent related to the closed stores of $ 2.1 million and $ 26.9 million, respectively.

The deferred tax balances have been classified in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: As of Fiscal Year Ended 2022 2021 Net non-current asset $ 1,466 $ - Net non-current liability ( 1,983 ) ( 19,488 ) Net Deferred Tax Assets $ ( 517 ) $ ( 19,488 ) As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, we had state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 13.9 million and $ 22.4 million, respectively. We provided a valuation allowance against these attributes of $ 3.2 million as of both January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021. The attributes expire in fiscal years 2023 through 2039 . As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, we had state tax credits of $ 0.5 million each year. These credits expire in fiscal years 2023 through 2026 . Note 12 Income Taxes, Continued As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, we had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 50.6 million and $ 57.6 million, respectively, which have a carryforward period at least 17 years. As of January 29, 2022, we have provided a total valuation allowance of approximately $ 42.2 million on deferred tax assets associated primarily with foreign and state net operating losses for which management has determined it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The $ 5.6 million net increase in valuation allowance during Fiscal 2022 from the $ 36.6 million provided for as of January 30, 2021 relates primarily to foreign tax attributes. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be fully realized. As of January 29, 2022, no deferred taxes have been provided on the accumulated undistributed earnings of our foreign operations beyond the amounts recorded for deemed repatriation of such earnings, as required in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"). An actual repatriation of earnings from our foreign operations could still be subject to additional foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes. Based upon evaluation of our foreign operations, undistributed earnings are intended to remain permanently reinvested to finance anticipated future growth and expansion, and accordingly, deferred taxes have not been provided. If undistributed earnings of our foreign operations were not considered permanently reinvested as of January 29, 2022, an immaterial amount of additional deferred taxes would have been provided. As of January 29, 2022, foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $ 4.1 million were available to reduce possible future U.S. income taxes and which expire from 2028 to 2031 . As a result of the Act, we may no longer utilize certain U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $ 3.9 million has been established against these credits. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next twelve months but we do not believe the change, if any, will be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We recognize interest expense and penalties related to the above unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and it was not material for Fiscal 2022, 2021 or 2020. We file income tax returns in federal and in many state and local jurisdictions as well as foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, our state and local income tax returns for fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and beyond remain subject to examination. In addition, we have subsidiaries in various foreign jurisdictions that have statutes of limitation generally ranging from two to six years . Our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and beyond remain subject to examination.

Since January 1, 2005, we have matched 100 % of each employee’s contribution of up to 3 % of salary and 50 % of the next 2 % of salary. In addition, for those employees hired before December 31, 2004, who were eligible for our cash balance retirement plan before it was frozen, we annually make an additional contribution of 2 1/2 % of salary to each employee’s account. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and our matching contribution plus actual earnings thereon. Our contribution expense for the matching program was approximately $ 5.9 million for Fiscal 2022, $ 2.9 million for Fiscal 2021 and $ 5.3 million for Fiscal 2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we suspended our match of employee contributions as of May 1, 2020. The match was reinstated on January 1, 2021.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Note 14 Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. Note 14 Earnings Per Share, Continued Weighted-average number of shares used for earnings per share is as follows: Fiscal Year (Shares in thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Weighted-average number of shares - basic 14,170 14,216 15,544 Common stock equivalents 339 0 127 Weighted-average number of shares - diluted 14,509 14,216 15,671 Common stock equivalents are excluded in Fiscal 2021 due to the loss from continuing operations. We repurchased 1,360,909 shares during Fiscal 2022 at a cost of $ 82.8 million or an average of $ 60.88 per share. We accrued $ 4.8 million for share repurchases as of January 29, 2022 which is included in other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We were operating under a $ 100.0 million repurchase authorization from September 2019. In February 2022, we announced a $ 100.0 million increase to the existing $ 100.0 million share repurchase authorization. As of March 23, 2022, we have $ 100.3 million remaining under the expanded share repurchase authorization. We did no t repurchase any shares in Fiscal 2021. We repurchased 4,570,015 shares during Fiscal 2020 at a cost of $ 189.4 million or an average of $ 41.44 per share.

Share-Based Compensation Plans

Share-Based Compensation Plans	12 Months Ended
	Jan. 29, 2022
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation Plans	Note 15 Share-Based Compensation Plans We have share-based compensation covering certain members of management and non-employee directors. The fair value of employee restricted stock is determined based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. Forfeitures for restricted stock are recognized as they occur. Stock and Cash Incentive Plans Under the 2020 Plan, which became effective June 25, 2020, we may grant options, restricted shares, performance awards and other stock-based awards to our key employees, non-employee directors and consultants for up to 1.8 million shares of common stock. The 2020 Plan replaced our Second Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). There will be no future awards under the 2009 Plan. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of our stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. Options granted under the plan primarily vest 25 % per year over four years . Restricted share grants deplete the shares available for future grants at a ratio of 2.0 shares per restricted share grant. In addition, we established the 2020 Restricted Cash Incentive Program (the “Program”) in Fiscal 2021 to attract and retain executive officers and key employees. Total cash of $ 2.7 million was granted in June 2020 under this Program. Cash granted under the Program will primarily vest 25 % per year over four years . Only employees that were employed as of the grant date were eligible for the Program. The compensation paid under the Program is taxable and subject to applicable tax withholding requirements. Compensation expense recognized in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, for this cash grant was $ 0.7 million and $ 0.4 million for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively. Note 15 Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued On February 5, 2020, our chief executive officer was issued a one-time grant of stock options under the 2009 Plan of 26,620 shares with a grant date fair value of $ 500,000 . The fair value of the one-time stock option is recognized as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. We estimated the fair value of the stock option award as of the date of the grant by applying a Black-Scholes pricing valuation model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The key assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock option award granted during Fiscal 2021 were expected price volatility of 45.0 % , a risk-free rate of 1.52 % and a weighted average term of 6.25 years. This resulted in a fair value of $ 18.78 per share for this one-time stock option. We recognized $ 0.1 million of stock option related share-based compensation in both Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 29, 2022, there was $ 0.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these stock options under the 2009 Plan. For Fiscal 2020, we did no t recognize any stock option related share-based compensation for our stock incentive plans as all such amounts were fully recognized in earlier periods. We did no t capitalize any share-based compensation expense. Restricted Stock Incentive Plans Director Restricted Stock The 2020 Plan permits grants to non-employee directors on such terms as the Board of Directors may approve. Restricted stock awards were made to independent directors on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders in each of Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. The shares granted in each award vested on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date and the date of the next annual meeting of shareholders, subject to the director's continued service through that date. For awards made prior to Fiscal 2021, the director is restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for three years from the grant date unless he or she earlier leaves the Board. The grants for Fiscal 2022 were valued at $ 107,500 , per director, and the grants for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 were valued at $ 91,375 for each year, per director. In addition, we issued 504 shares to three newly elected directors in Fiscal 2022. For Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, we issued 14,936 shares, 28,266 shares and 14,455 shares, respectively, of director restricted stock. In addition, the 2009 Plan permitted an outside director to elect irrevocably to receive all or a specified portion of his or her annual retainers for Board membership and any committee chairmanship for the following fiscal year in a number of shares of restricted stock (the "Retainer Stock"). Shares of the Retainer Stock were granted as of the first business day of the fiscal year as to which the election was effective, subject to forfeiture to the extent not earned upon the outside director's ceasing to serve as a director or committee chairman during such fiscal year. Once the shares were earned, the director is restricted from selling, transferring, pledging or assigning the shares for an additional three years . The 2020 Plan does not permit the issuance of retainer stock. For Fiscal 2021 and 2020, we issued 10,457 shares and 10,913 shares, respectively, of Retainer Stock. Director retainer fees were reduced during Fiscal 2021 primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In connection with the fee reduction, 2,965 shares of Retainer Stock were forfeited during Fiscal 2021. We recognized $ 0.7 million, $ 0.9 million and $ 1.3 million of director restricted stock related share-based compensation in Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Note 15 Share-Based Compensation Plans, Continued Employee Restricted Stock Under the 2020 Plan, we issued 228,444 shares of employee restricted stock in Fiscal 2022. Under the 2009 Plan, we issued 427,741 shares and 269,816 shares of employee restricted stock in Fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. Shares of employee restricted stock issued in Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 primarily vest 25 % per year over four years , provided that on such date the grantee has remained continuously employed by the Company since the date of grant. In addition, we issued 919 , 621 and 1,800 restricted stock units in Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to certain employees at no cost that vest over three years . The fair value of employee restricted stock is charged against income as compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense recognized in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for these shares was $ 8.3 million, $ 7.4 million and $ 8.8 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A summary of the status of our nonvested shares of our employee restricted stock as of January 29, 2022 is presented below: Nonvested Restricted Shares Shares Weighted- Nonvested at February 2, 2019 591,338 $ 42.99 Granted 269,816 42.48 Vested ( 138,765 ) 47.56 Withheld for federal taxes ( 55,598 ) 46.51 Forfeited ( 77,013 ) 42.19 Nonvested at February 1, 2020 589,778 41.46 Granted 427,741 19.62 Vested ( 139,962 ) 50.35 Withheld for federal taxes ( 64,382 ) 50.29 Forfeited ( 147,085 ) 36.62 Nonvested at January 30, 2021 666,090 27.98 Granted 228,444 63.40 Vested ( 162,205 ) 30.47 Withheld for federal taxes ( 64,535 ) 30.36 Forfeited ( 6,885 ) 34.89 Nonvested at January 29, 2022 660,909 $ 39.46 As of January 29, 2022, we had $ 20.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements for restricted stock discussed above. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.81 years.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	Note 16 Legal Proceedings Environmental Matters The Company has legacy obligations including environmental monitoring and reporting costs related to: (i) a 2016 Consent Judgment entered into with the United States Environmental Protection Agency involving the site of a knitting mill operated by a former subsidiary of ours from 1965 to 1969 in Garden City, New York; and (ii) a 2010 Consent Decree with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment relating to our former Volunteer Leather Company facility in Whitehall, Michigan. We do not expect that future obligations related to either of these sites will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accrual for Environmental Contingencies Related to all outstanding environmental contingencies, we had accrued $ 1.4 million as of January 29, 2022, $ 1.5 million as of January 30, 2021 and $ 1.5 million as of February 1, 2020. All such provisions reflect our estimates of the most likely cost (undiscounted, including both current and noncurrent portions) of resolving the contingencies, based on facts and circumstances as of the time they were made. There is no assurance that relevant facts and circumstances will not change, necessitating future changes to the provisions. Such contingent liabilities are included in the liability arising from provision for discontinued operations on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets because it relates to former facilities operated by us. We have made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $ 0.2 million in Fiscal 2022, $ 0.3 million in Fiscal 2021 and $ 0.4 million in Fiscal 2020. These charges are included in loss from discontinued operations, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and represent changes in estimates. Guarantee Related to Discontinued Operations As part of the Lids Sports Group sales transaction, the purchaser has agreed to indemnify and hold us harmless in connection with continuing obligations and any guarantees of ours in place as of February 2, 2019 in respect of post-closing or assumed liabilities or obligations of the Lids Sports Group business. The purchaser has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have any guarantees by, or continuing obligations of, the Company released. However, we are contingently liable in the event of a breach by the purchaser of any such obligation to a third-party. In addition, we are a guarantor for nine Lids Sports Group leases with lease expirations through May of 2025 and estimated maximum future payments totaling $ 9.6 million as of January 29, 2022. We do not believe the fair value of the guarantees is material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition to the matters specifically described in this Note, we are a party to other legal and regulatory proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. While management does not believe that our liability with respect to any of these other matters is likely to have a material effect on our financial statements, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations Genesco Inc. and its subsidiaries business includes the sourcing and design, marketing and distribution of footwear and accessories through retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada primarily under the Journeys ® , Journeys Kidz ® , Little Burgundy ® and Johnston & Murphy ® banners and under the Schuh banner in the U.K. and the ROI; through catalogs and e-commerce websites including the following: journeys.com, journeyskidz.com, journeys.ca, schuh.co.uk, schuh.ie, schuh.eu, littleburgundyshoes.com, johnstonmurphy.com, johnstonmurphy.ca, nashvilleshoewarehouse.com and dockersshoes.com and at wholesale, primarily under our Johnston & Murphy brand, the licensed Dockers ® brand, the licensed Levi's ® brand, the licensed G.H. Bass ® brand and other brands that we license for footwear. At January 29, 2022, we operated 1,425 retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the U.K. and the ROI. During Fiscal 2022, we operated four reportable business segments (not including corporate): (i) Journeys Group, comprised of the Journeys, Journeys Kidz and Little Burgundy retail footwear chains and e-commerce operations; (ii) Schuh Group, comprised of the Schuh retail footwear chain and e-commerce operations; (iii) Johnston & Murphy Group, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail operations, e-commerce operations and wholesale distribution of products under the Johnston & Murphy brand; and (iv) Licensed Brands, comprised of the licensed Dockers, Levi's, and G.H. Bass brands, as well as other brands we license for footwear.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation All subsidiaries are consolidated in our Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a result, Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020 were all 52-week years with 364 days. Fiscal 2022 ended on January 29, 2022, Fiscal 2021 ended on January 30, 2021 and Fiscal 2020 ended on February 1, 2020.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Our foreign subsidiaries held cash of approximately $ 39.7 million and $ 21.8 million as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to indefinitely reinvest our foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S. If we were to repatriate foreign cash to the U.S., we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes in accordance with applicable U.S. tax rules and regulations as a result of the repatriation. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued There were no cash equivalents at January 29, 2022 or January 30, 2021. At January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, outstanding checks drawn on zero-balance accounts at certain domestic banks exceeded book cash balances at those banks by approximately $ 0.0 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable	Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable Our wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry as well as by customer specific factors. In the wholesale businesses, one customer accounted for 38 % , one customer accounted for 13 % and one customer accounted for 7 % of our total trade receivables balance, while no other customer accounted for more than 6 % of our total trade receivables balance as of January 29, 2022. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors. We also establish allowances for sales returns, customer deductions and co-op advertising based on specific circumstances, historical trends and projected probable outcomes.
Inventory Valuation	Inventory Valuation In our footwear wholesale operations and our Schuh Group segment, cost for inventory that we own is determined using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. Net realizable value is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices reflected in future orders for footwear wholesale. We provide a valuation allowance when the inventory has not been marked down to net realizable value based on current selling prices or when the inventory is not turning and is not expected to turn at satisfactory levels. In our retail operations, other than the Schuh Group segment, we employ the retail inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of inventories. Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates, including merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates, coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could produce a range of cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent presentation, we employ the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of inventory with similar gross margins, and analyze markdown requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price and inventory age. In addition, we accrue markdowns as necessary. These additional markdown accruals reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to return products to vendors and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to markdown allowances, we maintain reserves for shrinkage and damaged goods based on historical rates. Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends and overall economic conditions. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of inventory value.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and building equipment 20 - 45 years Computer hardware, software and equipment 3 - 10 years Furniture and fixtures 10 years Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was approximately $ 42.4 million, $ 45.6 million and $ 49.4 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Leases	Leases We recognize lease assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all operating leases on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as described under ASC 842. We evaluate renewal options and break options at lease inception and on an ongoing basis and include renewal options and break options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our expected lease terms for calculations of the right-of-use assets and liabilities. Approximately 2 % of our leases contain renewal options. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. As most of our leases do not provide a determinable implicit rate, we estimate our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based upon a synthetic credit rating and yield curve analysis at the lease commencement or modification date in determining the present value of lease payments. For lease payments in foreign currencies, the incremental borrowing rate is adjusted to be reflective of the risk associated with the respective currency. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment, if any, of operating lease assets. We test right-of-use assets for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets. Net lease costs are included within selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation	Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of that long-lived asset. Our asset retirement obligations are primarily associated with leasehold improvements that we are contractually obligated to remove at the end of a lease to comply with the lease agreement. We recognize asset retirement obligations at the inception of a lease with such conditions if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations are recorded in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated asset retirement obligations. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over its useful life. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include asset retirement obligations related to leases of $ 11.5 million as of both January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We periodically assess the realizability of our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, and evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets. We annually assess our goodwill and indefinite lived trade names for impairment and on an interim basis if indicators of impairment are present. Our annual assessment date of goodwill and indefinite lived trade names is the first day of the fourth quarter. In accordance with ASC 350, we have the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If, after such assessment, we conclude that the asset is not impaired, no further action is required. However, if we conclude otherwise, we are required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative impairment test for goodwill compares the fair value of each reporting unit with the carrying value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recorded for the amount, if any, in which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. We estimate fair value using the best information available, and compute the fair value derived by a combination of the market and income approach. The market approach is based on observed market data of comparable companies to determine fair value. The income approach utilizes a projection of a reporting unit’s estimated operating results and cash flows that are discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions. A key assumption in our fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting our cash flow projections in our income approach. The projection uses our best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements.
Fair Value	Fair Value The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Topic defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for corresponding goods. The majority of our sales are single performance obligation arrangements for retail sale transactions for which the transaction price is equivalent to the stated price of the product, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product at the point of sale. Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Revenue from catalog and internet sales is recognized at estimated time of delivery to the customer, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Actual amounts of markdowns have not differed materially from estimates. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales. We exclude sales and value added tax collected on behalf of third parties from transaction price. A provision for estimated returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Estimated returns are based on historical returns and claims. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from historical experience. Revenue from gift cards is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within net sales in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer in future periods. We perform an evaluation of historical redemption patterns from the date of original issuance to estimate future period redemption activity. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include an accrued liability for gift cards of $ 6.3 million and $ 5.0 million as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. Gift card breakage recognized as revenue was $ 1.0 million, $ 0.8 million and $ 1.0 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During Fiscal 2022, we recognized $ 3.1 million of gift card redemptions and gift card breakage revenue that were included in the gift card liability as of January 30, 2021.
Cost of Sales	Cost of Sales For our retail operations, the cost of sales includes actual product cost, the cost of transportation to our warehouses from suppliers, the cost of transportation from our warehouses to the stores and the cost of transportation from our warehouses to the customer. Additionally, the cost of our distribution facilities allocated to our retail operations is included in cost of sales. For our wholesale operations, the cost of sales includes the actual product cost and the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers.
Selling and Administrative Expenses	Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses include all operating costs excluding (i) those related to the transportation of products from the supplier to the warehouse, (ii) for our retail operations, those related to the transportation of products from the warehouse to the store and from the warehouse to the customer and (iii) costs of our distribution facilities which are allocated to our retail operations. Wholesale costs of distribution are included in selling and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the amounts of $ 12.8 million, $ 10.1 million and $ 5.6 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We record buying, merchandising and occupancy costs in selling and administrative expense. Because we do not include these costs in cost of sales, our gross margin may not be comparable to other retailers that include these costs in the calculation of gross margin. Retail occupancy costs recorded in selling and administrative expense were $ 299.6 million, $ 269.8 million and $ 334.4 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs	Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs related to inventory purchased from suppliers are included in the cost of inventory and are charged to cost of sales in the period that the inventory is sold. All other shipping and handling costs are charged to cost of sales in the period incurred except for wholesale costs of distribution and shipping costs for product shipped from stores, which are included in selling and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Advertising Costs and Cooperative Advertising	Advertising Costs Advertising costs are predominantly expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $ 106.4 million, $ 80.1 million and $ 72.3 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cooperative Advertising Cooperative advertising funds are made available to most of our wholesale footwear customers. In order for retailers to receive reimbursement under such programs, the retailer must meet specified advertising guidelines and provide appropriate documentation of expenses to be reimbursed. Our cooperative advertising agreements require that wholesale customers present documentation or other evidence of specific advertisements or display materials used for our products by submitting the actual print advertisements presented in catalogs, newspaper inserts or other advertising circulars, or by permitting physical inspection of displays. Additionally, our cooperative advertising agreements require that the amount of reimbursement requested for such advertising or materials be supported by invoices or other evidence of the actual costs incurred by the retailer.
Consideration to Resellers	Consideration to Resellers In our wholesale businesses, we do not have any written buy-down programs with retailers, but we have provided certain retailers with markdown allowances for obsolete and slow-moving products that are in the retailer’s inventory. We estimate these allowances and provide for them as reductions to revenues at the time revenues are recorded. Markdowns are negotiated with retailers and changes are made to the estimates as agreements are reached. Actual amounts for markdowns have not differed materially from estimates.
Vendor Allowances	Vendor Allowances From time to time, we negotiate allowances from our vendors for markdowns taken or expected to be taken. These markdowns are typically negotiated on specific merchandise and for specific amounts. These specific allowances are recognized as a reduction in cost of sales in the period in which the markdowns are taken. Markdown allowances not attached to specific inventory on hand or already sold are applied to concurrent or future purchases from each respective vendor. We receive support from some of our vendors in the form of reimbursements for cooperative advertising and catalog costs for the launch and promotion of certain products. The reimbursements are agreed upon with vendors and represent specific, incremental, identifiable costs incurred by us to sell the vendor’s specific products. Such costs and the related reimbursements are accumulated and monitored on an individual vendor basis, pursuant to the respective cooperative advertising agreements with vendors. Such cooperative advertising reimbursements are recorded as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses in the same period in which the associated expense is incurred. If the amount of cash consideration received exceeds the costs being reimbursed, such excess amount would be recorded as a reduction of cost of sales. Vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising costs recognized as a reduction of selling and administrative expenses were $ 10.7 million, $ 6.2 million and $ 9.1 million for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, our vendor reimbursements of cooperative advertising received were not in excess of the costs incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currency into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense accounts are translated at monthly average exchange rates. The unearned gains and losses resulting from such translation are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions were not material for Fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Commitments	Commitments As a result of the Togast acquisition, we also have a commitment to Samsung C&T America, Inc. (“Samsung”) related to the ultimate sale and valuation of related inventories owned by Samsung. If the product is sold below Samsung’s cost, we are committed to Samsung for the difference between the sales price and its cost. At January 29, 2022, the related inventory owned by Samsung had a historical cost of $ 11.4 million. As of January 29, 2022, we believe that we have appropriately accounted for any differences between the fair value of the Samsung inventory and Samsung’s historical cost.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. This guidance aims to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles within the current guidance and by clarifying and amending the current guidance. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 . This guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" , as amended and supplemented by subsequent ASUs (collectively, “ASU 2020-04”), which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and is effective immediately, but is only available through December 31, 2022. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
