Where is the shoe manufacturing base in China (Putian vs Jinjiang vs Wenzhou vs Guangzhou)?

China's footwear industry is clustered into four belts, and choosing the right one is one of the most practical sourcing decisions you can make, because it determines the available lasts, materials and price level.

• Putian - sport and lifestyle sneakers, with a deep supply chain for athletic builds; see Putian Zhihui Footwear.
• Jinjiang - the other sport-shoe belt, strong for mass-market sneakers and sportswear programmes.
• Wenzhou - the leather, boots, formal and children's footwear centre.
• Guangzhou - women's fashion, heels, flats and sandals.

Because we source from all four belts, your order is routed to the factory that actually specialises in that product rather than being forced through one general factory. That is how we can quote a realistic factory-direct FOB price and a sensible lead time across such a wide product range.

• See our Putian and Wenzhou factories.
• Browse men's sneakers to start.
