Wholesale Italian Shoes Direct from the Factory
Women's, men's and children's footwear from manufacturers in Italy's shoemaking districts.
Italian footwear comes from a handful of traditional districts. Marche is home to many shoe factories, Tuscany is strong in leather production and in shoes for fashion brands, and Veneto makes both classic and sports footwear. Our office is in Florence, so we visit Tuscan manufacturers in person, work with factories in other regions by video and travel there when an order calls for it. We help you choose styles, agree lasts and sizes, inspect the batch and ship it together with your other purchases.

Women's shoes
Pumps, ankle boots, knee boots, loafers and sandals in leather and suede.

Samples and lasts
We order samples and check fit and size chart before the batch goes into production.
Shoes for your brand
Private label factories: your logo on the insole, box and dust bag.
Packed for transit
Boxes, dust bags and shape inserts so every pair arrives without creases.
What we check
Upper and lining
We confirm which parts are genuine leather and which are synthetic, and compare with the description.
Sizes in the batch
We check that sizes are consistent within a size run and across different styles.
Bonding and stitching
During inspection we look at sole attachment, stitching and pair symmetry.
Origin
Made in Italy appears only on shoes that were actually produced in Italy.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum order for shoes?
Yes, factories often set a minimum per style or colour and sell size runs by the carton. Showrooms with stock are more flexible. Our minimum order is €500.
How is import duty on shoes calculated?
The rate depends on the HS code, which is determined by the upper and sole materials, and on the import country. Check current rates with a customs broker before you order.
Can shoes ship together with clothing?
Yes. We consolidate orders from different factories and ship them as one consignment with a single set of documents.
Do you travel to factories outside Tuscany?
For large orders and inspections, yes. Smaller purchases we usually handle by video with suppliers we have already worked with.
