Footwear Programs by Buyer Type

Product family, development route and sales channel are separate decisions in a footwear program. A brand may start with the same shoe family but need a different approval and repeat-order process from a retail chain or importer. Choose the buyer program that matches the channel, then include its label, packing and reorder controls in the same brief.

1,000 pairs is the standard manufacturing order start, per style, per color and per size. Sizes are not combined to reach it.

Sample stage

The sample is the visual proof point for silhouette, color, branding and agreed construction decisions.

Tech Pack OEM or ODM

Choose the entry that matches how much of the footwear program is already defined.

01

Tech Pack OEM

Defined design

Send drawings or references, construction notes, size range, material direction, colorways, branding, quantity and destination.

02

ODM Selection

Defined market

Share the target customer, season, silhouette, color direction, quantity and launch timing to narrow a suitable development direction.

03

Private-Label Details

Authorized brand

Logo placement, color, labels and packing instructions belong in the product discussion before sample approval.

Compare OEM and ODM Development

Connect sample approval to the bulk order

The accepted product and file version should stay connected to the quote, allocation and order-specific controls.

Brief

Review the program

Bring the product family, intended market, size range, branding, quantity, destination and target date into one discussion.

Sample

Define the sample check

Agree which visible decisions need approval, including shape, fit reference, color, logo and outsole direction.

Approval

Name the accepted version

Comments should point to the exact sample or file version that carries into the production handoff.

Bulk

Confirm order controls

The quotation states the commercial scope and allocation. Inspection and document needs are confirmed for the order.

Why the version matters: an unapproved change can move into production and create sample-to-bulk rework.

Order fit

What is Keytop’s minimum order quantity?

Standard manufacturing orders start at 1,000 pairs per style, per color and per size (1,500 for sandals, slippers and slides). Styles, colors and sizes are not mixed to reach that figure, and the quotation confirms the run for the selected construction and program.

Does Keytop accept orders below 1,000 pairs per size?

No. Keytop focuses on B2B manufacturing programs starting at 1,000 pairs per style, color and size, not single-pair retail or small trial orders below that level.

Development and product fit

Can I send a Tech Pack for OEM development?

Yes. Include drawings or reference images, construction notes, size range, material direction, colorways, branding files, quantity, destination and any sample or document requirements.

What if I do not have a Tech Pack?

Start with an ODM brief. Share the target customer, market position, footwear family, silhouette, color direction, quantity and launch timing so suitable development references can be discussed.

Which footwear categories are the priority?

Casual sneakers, casual shoes and boots are the priority families. Outdoor footwear, sandals, slippers and slides are also included in the active range.

Can Keytop support private-label footwear?

Yes, for authorized private-label programs. Branding position, artwork, color, labels, packing and market requirements should be included in the development brief.

Can I request a sample before a bulk order?

Sample needs are reviewed with the product brief. The sample should confirm the visible and construction decisions that will be carried into the quotation and bulk handoff.

How long will sampling and production take?

Timing depends on the product direction, sample revisions, material and component availability, order allocation, packing requirements and destination. A project schedule is confirmed after the brief is reviewed.

Which size ranges are available?

Size range and grading need to be confirmed for the selected style and intended market. Send the target size run and fit reference with the inquiry.

Documents and market scope

What documents can I request?

Share the destination market and the exact document, audit or test requirement. Applicability and scope are confirmed for the selected product, material and order before any document claim is made.

Does Keytop make professional performance running shoes?

Professional performance running footwear is not a target program. The current focus is casual and lifestyle footwear, general outdoor footwear, sandals, slippers and slides.

Which markets does Keytop serve?

Keytop reviews B2B footwear programs for global markets. Include the destination country or market in the brief so packing, labeling and document needs can be discussed.
