If you are a new buyer looking to source women’s shoes from Chinese manufacturers, MOQ is one of the most important questions you need to clarify before placing an order. MOQ means Minimum Order Quantity, the smallest quantity of shoes that our factory can produce for one single style.
Many new wholesale buyers worry that the MOQ from Chinese shoe factories is too high, and they do not have enough budget for large bulk orders. Here we will explain our MOQ rules clearly, so you can make a better purchasing plan.
For our standard women’s footwear styles, the regular MOQ is 500 pairs per style. One style means one design, one material, and one color. Within this quantity, we can make 3 to 5 different sizes for this shoe model. This quantity helps us control the production cost and keep stable quality for bulk production.
We also understand that many new brands or small wholesalers want to test the market first before big orders. So we offer flexible solutions for small test orders. If you accept a slightly higher unit price, we can reduce the MOQ to 200 pairs per style for your market trial.
Please note that the MOQ will change based on materials and craft. For shoes with special leather, custom embossed logo, handmade decoration, or custom outsole, the minimum order quantity will be higher. Because these custom parts need extra mould opening and material preparation.
What about samples?
If you want to check the quality, texture and fitting of our women shoes before bulk order, we support sample production. You can order 1 or 2 pairs of sample shoes. The sample cost and shipping fee will be charged. Once you confirm the bulk order later, we can deduct part of the sample cost from your final invoice.
The whole workflow is simple:
1. You select the shoe design and confirm all details, including material, color and size range.
2. We make a sample for your checking.
3. After you approve the sample, we start mass production.
4. When production is finished, we arrange inspection, packing and shipment.
Our factory has rich experience making women dress shoes, flat shoes, heeled shoes and casual shoes for wholesale buyers from many countries. Our normal lead time for bulk production is 45 days after sample confirmation. We focus on stable quality and on-time delivery.
