In today’s footwear industry, the demand for custom soles in small batches is constantly growing. Independent designers, emerging brands, and established manufacturers are increasingly seeking agile production solutions that provide variety and originality, even in reduced volumes. The traditional model of mass production is giving way to more frequent, focused collections, with greater attention to customization and experimentation.
In this context, the sole is no longer just a functional component but a defining element of the final product, capable of expressing identity, innovation, and attention to detail. The ability to develop tailor-made soles, even in small series, allows unique ideas to take shape, aligned with the aesthetic and functional requirements of modern collections.
The minimum order quantity required for each production is 400 pieces.

Strategic Advantages of Small Batches
Producing custom soles in small batches is also a strategic choice. It allows testing new ideas with more flexibility and less risk, responding quickly to market changes, creating limited editions with high perceived value, and developing specific products for selected retail channels or premium lines.
