Custom Sports Accessories Manufacturer
Socks, spare laces and shoe-care items are the small products that complete a footwear range — and the add-on sales a retail customer actually takes home. As an athletic socks manufacturer and sports accessories supplier, we have developed and produced branded accessories for our footwear clients, made in specialist sock and accessories factories, matched to your shoes and packed with your footwear order.

With your footwear order
Why order sports accessories with your shoes
- Spare laces are cut to the right length for each shoe size and colour-matched to the shoe.
- Socks can be sized and coloured to your footwear range for bundles and gift sets.
- Small accessories ship inside the same consolidated shipment as the footwear where possible, avoiding separate small consignments.
Quality control before shipment
- Size and dimensions against the approved sample
- Colour against the approved reference
- Logo and label accuracy
- Lace length, aglet attachment and tip finish
- Packing and barcode check per SKU
Inspection follows the same approach as our footwear — see quality control & AQL.
