Are you a private label footwear manufacturer?
Yes. Manhattan Shoe Company is a private label footwear manufacturer with more than 20 years in the footwear industry. We make footwear under your brand name, starting from a proven style or a fully custom design.
What is your minimum order?
Production starts at 300 pairs per style. Development options are flexible, and minimums for custom projects are set based on the design and materials.
Do you charge for samples?
Yes. Sample development is a paid step, quoted per project based on the style, materials and complexity. You approve the quote before any work begins.
How long does it take to make footwear?
Samples take about 4 weeks for private label styles and 4 to 6 weeks for custom development. Production takes 60 to 90 days after sample approval, depending on materials and complexity.
What is the difference between private label and custom footwear development?
Private label starts from a shoe already in production, finished with your branding, colors and materials. It is the fastest and most affordable way to launch. Custom footwear development builds a new shoe from your idea, including your own outsole and construction.
What types of footwear can you make?
Sneakers, golf and pickleball shoes, sandals, slides, slippers, jellies, boots and rain boots.
Do I need my own designs?
No. Bring your brand, your customer and an idea of what you want to make, and we will recommend styles and materials that fit.
