📚 Practical tips for importing clothing and footwear

📏 Sizing and standards

Chinese sizing differs from European – always ask for detailed size charts (in cm for clothing, mm for footwear).

🧪 Sample testing

Always order samples before mass production to check material quality, craftsmanship, and fit.

📋 Labeling and compliance

Make sure everything meets EU standards – fabric composition, care instructions, footwear materials, and labeling.

👟 Footwear – sole quality

Pay close attention to sole quality and stitching – these are usually the weak points in cheaper footwear.

🎨 Colors and design

Check colorfastness against washing and sunlight, and ask for colors to be specified using Pantone codes (e.g., Pantone 186 C).

📦 Packaging

Arrange custom packaging – boxes with your logo or retail-ready packaging.

👟 Footwear Sourcing: What You Need to Know

  • 🏭 Putian and Jinjiang: Chinese cities where much of the world's athletic footwear is made
  • 🧩 Unbranded models: Factories producing for major brands often offer similar designs without the logo
  • 📦 MOQ: Typically 500–1000 pairs per model, spread across sizes – plan your size range carefully
  • 👟 Sizing: EU sizes differ from Chinese ones – always request foot-length charts in mm
  • 🧪 Materials: Genuine leather vs. PU leather – a major difference in price, durability, and perceived quality
  • 🔍 Inspection: Check stitching, sole bonding, zipper quality, and other critical details
