Production & Quality

Inside the Factory

Quality Assurance

Incoming Quality Control

  • Inspect upper materials, unvulcanized rubber compounds, and hardware for appearance defects, specification deviations, and processing issues before production.

First-Pair Approval

  • Our prototyping, production, and quality teams jointly inspect the first finished pair of each SKU against the approved sample and specifications before bulk production proceeds.

In-Process Quality Control

  • Monitor upper preparation, stitching, shoe assembly, adhesive application, and workmanship throughout production.

Pre- and Post- Vulcanization Inspection

  • Check shape, symmetry, alignment, and vulcanization quality; assess deformation and verify bonding strength through pull testing.

Final Quality Control

  • Inspect finished shoes for appearance, workmanship, size and specification compliance, cleanliness, pair matching, labeling, and packaging accuracy.

AQL Pre-Shipment Inspection

  • Conduct a final pre-shipment inspection using the agreed AQL standard and customer-specific requirements before goods are released for shipment.
