πŸ“š Practical tips for importing clothing and footwear

πŸ“ Sizing and standards

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

πŸ§ͺ Sample testing

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

πŸ“‹ Labeling and compliance

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

πŸ‘Ÿ 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).

πŸ“¦ Packaging

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

πŸ‘Ÿ 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
  • πŸ“¦ MOQ: Typically 500–1000 pairs per model, spread across sizes – plan your size range carefully
  • πŸ‘Ÿ Sizing: EU sizes differ from Chinese ones – always request foot-length charts in mm
  • πŸ§ͺ Materials: Genuine leather vs. PU leather – a major difference in price, durability, and perceived quality
  • πŸ” Inspection: Check stitching, sole bonding, zipper quality, and other critical details
