What should I check before ordering men's work & safety shoes from a China factory?
Before ordering men's work and safety shoes, check four things: safety certification (e.g., steel toe impact rating), sole adhesion (ask for a peel test), leather thickness (1.8-2.0 mm is typical for work shoes), and stitching density (at least 5 stitches per inch).
Request pre-production samples and a third-party inspection report. Our Wenzhou factories can provide test reports for CE or ASTM. See our audit guide for a full checklist.
