Three Risks to Control Before Barefoot Shoe Production
MOQ, technical specifications, and project communication all need to be clear before sampling begins.
The MOQ is too high to test whether this will sell.
A high opening quantity can tie up cash before demand is proven. Keytop's confirmed MOQ is 500 pairs per color and style for custom production.
Control point: align colorways and sizes with the first-order quantity before sampling.
Barefoot specifications are easy to lose in translation.
Last shape, toe room, sole geometry, flexibility and materials are set in the product brief and checked at sample approval.
Control point: approve written specifications and the physical sample before bulk production.
Unclear decisions create avoidable delays.
Material substitutions, revision notes, and approval status should be recorded so both teams are working from the same version.
Control point: confirm project contacts, milestones, and approval records at the start.
Keytop's starting points: MOQ 500 pairs per color and style, samples in 10–21 days after design confirmation, and bulk in 45–60 days after sample approval and deposit.
