Four Sandal References for Your Collection
The photographed sandal references offer four visible starting directions: fuller straps, crossing straps, a minimal strap layout and a closed-toe profile. These photographed styles are starting references for development. The buyer’s specification and quantities define the requested materials, construction, fit and manufacturing order.
Navy Platform-Strap Reference
Navy sandal reference with multiple straps and a sculpted sole profile The navy reference shows an open toe, several strap paths and a higher sculpted sole. The brief identifies the intended strap layout, fastening and sole proportions.
Black-Red Cross-Strap Reference
Black and red sandal reference with crossing straps Crossing upper straps and contrasting black-red details distinguish this reference. Strap width, adjustment and heel-hold requirements belong to the chosen design specification.
Yellow Minimal-Strap Reference
Yellow sandal reference with a minimal strap layout The yellow reference has fewer visible straps and a lower-looking sole profile. Color, upper contact and the requested footbed shape give the brief its own direction.
Gray-Pink Closed-Toe Reference
Gray and pink sandal reference with a covered toe profile The gray-pink reference has more toe coverage and a cage-like upper. The development brief defines coverage, openings, heel retention and intended use.

|---|---|---|
| Navy platform strap | Several straps and a higher sculpted sole | Strap route, fastening and sole proportions |
| Black-red cross strap | Crossing straps and contrasting colors | Strap width, adjustment and heel hold |

Sandal Specifications, Samples and Order Terms
The sandal specification connects upper contact, fastening and footbed shape with the wearer’s fit requirements. A drawing, Tech Pack or physical reference can describe that construction.
KEYTOP’s general adult production range is EU 35–47. Children’s EU 22–34 is an overseas inquiry planning reference only; sandal format, last, fit, grading and tooling require review before a model-specific size offer.

Questions Before a Sandal Inquiry
What is the MOQ for sandals?
MOQ is 1,500 pairs for one style, one color and one size. Styles, colors and sizes cannot be mixed to reach that minimum.
Can development begin from a sandal photograph or sample?
An authorized reference image, drawing, physical sample or Tech Pack can be the starting point. The selected sandal brief carries the construction, material and fit requirements.
Which sandal directions are shown here?
The four photographed references show a navy multi-strap profile, black-red crossing straps, yellow minimal straps and a gray-pink covered toe.
Which size information belongs in the inquiry?
The general adult production range is EU 35–47. For children’s overseas inquiries, EU 22–34 serves only as planning guidance; the sandal format, last, fit, grading and tooling require review for the selected model.
How long do sample and production stages take?
Samples typically take 7–15 days after sample requirements and usable specifications are confirmed. Standard production typically takes 35–45 days after specifications, sample approval, material assumptions, packaging and the production slot are confirmed.
Who pays the sample charge?
The buyer pays the sample charge and courier. A bulk order provides the basis for a sample-charge refund; sample payment is made in full before dispatch.
Can my brand appear on the footwear and packing?
KEYTOP supports logo and insole branding, outsole branding, and box and carton branding. Authorized artwork, placement and packing requirements belong to the selected design brief.
What terms apply to bulk payment and shipping?
Bulk payment is by T/T with a deposit of at least 30% and the balance before shipment. Orders usually use FOB or CIF through Xiamen or Shenzhen; the port, Incoterm and destination are set out in the quotation.
What fit details can I include?
The brief can include footbed length, width and contour targets, instep clearance, strap adjustment and heel-hold requirements, with a fit reference or requested last direction.
What should I send for a sandal quotation?
An inquiry identifies the sandal reference, company and market, quantities by style/color/size, construction and fit targets, branding, packing, sample need and delivery target. KEYTOP reviews the brief for sample development and quotation. Send your sandal brief.
