Who can produce sample shoes before a bulk order?
We do, and sampling is a core part of how we work. Samples are 1-5 pairs per style, produced in 7-14 days from an approved design, tech pack or reference shoe, and the sample fee is credited back against your bulk order once you proceed - so on a confirmed order a sample effectively costs nothing.
The sample stage is where last, fit, upper, materials, colourways, logo placement and detailing are all locked before mass production, which is exactly why we recommend it for any new style. We also use the approved sample as the quality reference for the full run, so the bulk order is measured against a physical standard rather than a description. Air-freight sample delivery is typically 3-5 days worldwide.
