Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about MOQ, lead time, OEM, semi-finished materials, technology export and used equipment from SoR Shoe.
What is SoR Shoe's main product?
+
We focus on affordable sports and casual footwear — flyknit, fabric, canvas and PU uppers with PVC, PU, EVA and rubber sole options. We also supply semi-finished uppers, shoe materials, sole materials and accessories for factories that assemble locally.
Is SoR Shoe a factory or a trading company?
+
We are a founder-led footwear export studio — we do not own a single factory. Instead, founder Zoe brings nearly 20 years of manufacturing experience and works with 30+ vetted partner factories. For buyers this means flexible MOQs across styles, honest QC by people who know production, and a backup factory whenever one is full.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
+
For finished shoes, MOQ is typically 600–1,200 pairs per style depending on customization. For uppers and sole materials, MOQ is negotiable and can start from one carton per size run. Contact us with your target style for an exact figure.
Do you support OEM/ODM orders?
+
Yes. We support OEM (your logo, packing and labeling on our designs) and ODM (custom designs developed from your samples or tech packs). Sample lead time is usually 7–15 days.
What is the lead time for wholesale orders?
+
Standard lead time is 25–40 days after sample confirmation and deposit, depending on order volume and season. Repeat orders ship faster because materials and lasts are already prepared.
Which sole materials can you work with?
+
PU (polyurethane) injection is our signature process, and we also cover vulcanized rubber, EVA and TPR soles. PU soles are light, flex-bonded without glue failure and cost-effective for daily casual and sports shoes; for oil-resistant or anti-slip needs we recommend rubber. Tell us your target market and we will suggest the right sole.
What does your technology export service include?
+
Four parts: on-site technical guidance at your factory, complete production line setup (layout, sourcing, commissioning), structured training for operators and QC staff, and supply of inspected used footwear equipment with spare parts.
Can you help build a shoe factory in my country?
+
Yes. Together with our partner network, we have helped set up production lines overseas. A typical project: we confirm your target product and output, propose a line plan and equipment list, ship the machines, dispatch technicians for installation and training, and stay with you until output stabilizes.
Is your used equipment reliable?
+
Every used machine is inspected and test-run before shipment, and we ship spare parts and consumables with it. Loading is supervised and photographed, and export documentation is handled by our team.
Which payment and shipping terms do you accept?
+
We commonly work with T/T (30% deposit, 70% before shipment) and accept L/C for larger orders. Shipping terms: FOB, CIF or EXW depending on your forwarder arrangement.
