The results of this study indicate that the variables of the exchange rate, US
GDP, and inflation simultaneously have a significant effect on the export of
Indonesia’s footwear that can be seen from the test f that obtained considerable value.
A partial test of a variable of the exchange rate and inflation show insignificant result

will decrease. Still, the cost of the competitor's country exports also increases, the
price of Indonesian goods becomes less expensive. Export destination countries of
Indonesia will continue to purchase products while for the US GDP variables showed
significant results because when the United States income increased, then the
purchasing power of the community also increased and positively affected the export
