Quality, testing & compliance

How we control quality on every running shoe order

Materials and finished shoes are built to documented physical-testing and QC standards — aligned to Chinese national (GB) and international norms — with a 6-stage quality process and final AQL inspection before shipment.

Physical testing

Midsole compression set & rebound, outsole DIN abrasion and whole-shoe flex are tested so the ride and durability hold up over distance.

Testing & standards →

AQL inspection

Final inspection uses random, non-consecutive AQL sampling with a three-tier defect grade — Class A inspected to a strict AQL 0.065. Any Class A defect rejects the batch.

Factory & QC →

Chemical compliance

Built to EU REACH and your own RSL, with accredited third-party lab reports (SGS, Intertek, BV-type) on request — so you import with confidence.

FAQ

Running Shoes — buyer questions

What is your MOQ?

Our MOQ is 300–600 pairs per colour and 1,000 pairs per style. Low-MOQ sampling is available so you can validate a running shoe design before committing to a production run.

How long do samples and production take?

Samples take 2–4 weeks; bulk production takes 30–60 days depending on materials and quantity.

Do you offer OEM and ODM?

Both. With OEM we build to your design and specs; with ODM we develop new designs with you from concept. We also do private-label branding, labels and packaging.

Are you a factory or a trading company?

We are a footwear trading & manufacturing partner — our own factory plus a selected partner-factory network, with product development, quality control and export handled in-house. You get factory pricing with the service of a sourcing partner.

Case study

Making real carbon-plate marathon shoes for a Korean brand — after the plates on offer elsewhere did not hold up

A Korean buyer supplying professional marathon teams and serious runners could not get a genuine carbon plate — what was on offer was either not really carbon, or a generic plate that raced nothing like one. They tested ours, chose us, and got their runners into real marathon shoes in time to compete.
