FAQ
Sandals & Slippers — common questions
Why are sandals and slippers cheaper to produce?+
Many styles are made by direct injection or compression-molding EVA into a one-piece footbed and outsole, which removes hand-lasting and stitching labor. That keeps unit cost and tooling lead time low, which is why this category is ideal for high-volume and promotional programs.
Can you do custom logos on slides and flip-flops?+
Yes. We deboss or emboss logos into the footbed and straps, do 3D raised-logo straps, color-match to Pantone, and cut custom strap and outsole tooling for an original look.
Do you offer arch-support / orthopedic footbeds?+
Yes. We mold contoured EVA and PU footbeds with arch support and a heel cup, plus cork-look and memory-foam options, for comfort and wellness positioning.
What's the lead time for a seasonal sandal program?+
Injected EVA styles are among our fastest: samples in 7–12 days and bulk within 30–45 days after sample approval. Plan early so a summer range lands on shelves on time.
Can you supply hotel and spa slippers?+
Yes. We produce disposable and reusable hospitality slippers in terry, waffle, and non-woven materials with EVA or foam soles, custom logos, and individual bag or box packaging.
