We've helped hundreds of global clients successfully source sneakers, sandals, boots and other footwear products from China.

To make the process smoother, here are the Top 10 Questions we hear most often from our clients-along with our answers as a professional export partner.

 

1. What's Your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

 

MOQ depends on the product type and whether customization is needed.

 

• 200–1,000 pairs per style for OEM orders

• For ready-stock or trial orders, we can support lower quantities

 

As a trading company, we can offer more flexible solutions by coordinating with multiple factories.

 

2. Can I Get Samples Before Placing a Bulk Order?

 

Of course. We encourage sampling to check quality and design. 

 

3. How Long Does Production Take?

 

• Sample development: 7–15 days

• Mass production: 45-60 days after deposit and sample approval

We will coordinate production schedules and keep you updated throughout the process.

Yes-we specialize in OEM & ODM services. You can customize:

 

• Logo

We work only with vetted, audited factories that meet international standards. Our quality assurance includes:

Our team can arrange third-party quality control checks and even do random inspections to ensure your product meets your expectations.

If required, we can provide compliance documents like BSCI,amfori,CRT,SMETA,carrefour,disney and so on.

8. Do You Accept Small Orders or Trial Runs?

 

Yes. We know trust is built step by step. For new clients, we support:

• Trial orders starting from 200–300 pairs

• Consolidated orders for mixed styles or colors

This helps you test the market before scaling up.

 

9. Can You Follow Our Country's Size Standards?

 

Of course. Whether you need US, EU, UK, or custom sizing, we can produce according to your requirements. We will confirm size charts during the sample stage.

 

10. How Can I Trust Your Company?
