As a leading footwear sourcing partner, we connect you with manufacturers for all types of shoes with unbeatable quality and competitive prices.
Understanding the intricate processes behind footwear production is essential for quality sourcing. Our manufacturing partners employ these industry-standard techniques to deliver premium footwear products.
Examples: Running shoes, basketball shoes, tennis shoes
Manufacturing Process: Typically involves synthetic materials and rubber. The process includes designing, cutting the materials, assembling the upper, creating and attaching the sole (often using molding processes for rubber or foam soles), and finishing with laces and insoles.
Examples: Sneakers, loafers
Manufacturing Process: Can be made from leather, canvas, or synthetic materials. The process generally includes cutting the material, stitching or gluing the upper parts, attaching the upper to the sole (which might be glued or sewn), and adding finishing touches like laces and insoles.
Examples: Oxfords, derby, pumps
Manufacturing Process: Often made of leather. The process includes selecting and treating the leather, cutting and stitching the uppers, lasting (shaping the upper over a foot mold), attaching the sole (which could be stitched, glued, or welted for durability), and polishing.
Manufacturing Process: Starts with selecting materials, typically high-quality leather or synthetic fabrics. The process involves cutting and assembling the upper, creating the heel, which can be made of plastic, wood, or metal covered with the same material as the upper. The upper is then shaped and attached to the sole and heel. Finishing touches include adding insoles, outsoles, and any decorative elements.
Manufacturing Process: Similar to making pumps but without the addition of a heel. Materials like leather, canvas, or synthetic are cut and stitched to form the upper. The upper is then attached to a flat sole, usually made of rubber or synthetic material, through gluing or stitching. Finishing includes adding insoles and any decorative details.
Manufacturing Process: Similar to high heels but with a sole that runs under the foot from the back to the front, providing more surface area and support. Materials include leather, synthetic, or fabric for the upper, and wood, cork, or synthetic material for the wedge. The upper is attached to the wedge sole, and the shoe is finished with fastenings and decorative elements.
