Buying footwear & accessories from China

Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.

How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
Lasting machines, sole presses and a last library. Shoe factories own their lasts; assemblers borrow them, which shows up as fit drift between orders.
What certification is needed to import footwear & accessories into the EU or US?
The EU restricts chromium VI in leather — a frequent failure — along with nickel release on buckles and other REACH substances. The US applies CPSIA to children’s footwear and FTC rules to material labelling.
What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
Around 600–1,200 pairs per style, because every size needs its own last. New sole moulds are the main tooling expense.
What goes wrong most often in this category?
Sole-to-upper bond failure and chromium VI formation in leather. Neither is visible on inspection; both are standard laboratory tests.
