What should I check before ordering baby & toddler shoes from a China factory?

Before ordering baby and toddler shoes from a China factory, check these points:

• Materials: Ensure they are non-toxic, phthalate-free, and have no sharp edges or small parts that can detach.
• Flexibility: Soles should bend easily at the ball of the foot; uppers should be breathable.
• Certifications: Ask for EN 71 (EU) or ASTM F963 (US) test reports if you sell in those markets.
• Production belt: Guangzhou is known for quality children's footwear.

We can arrange a factory audit for you. See our factory audit guide or start with our baby shoes.
