Start Your Research
Choose a Guide for Your Current Sourcing Decision
Choose the resource that matches the decision still open in your footwear project. These guides help buyers move from early research toward a more complete supplier discussion covering materials, RFQ details, samples, quantities and delivery responsibilities.
Compare TPR, RB rubber, MD Phylon, PU and ETPU combined routes against your design and production brief.
Assemble the product, quantity, specification and delivery information needed for a relevant project review and quotation.
Distinguish an existing-mould sample route from a new-mould development route before requesting approval samples.
Start with the standard order quantity and review whether the selected product may suit a trial order.
Prepare a clearer discussion of transport, destination and handover responsibilities under EXW, FOB or DAP.
Material Selection
Compare Outsole Materials Before You Choose a Route
Material selection should follow the footwear design, construction, production process and required tests. Record the required appearance, development route, colours, sizes, mould status and test items before comparing TPR, RB rubber, MD Phylon, PU or ETPU combined outsole options.
TPR:
Review the material alongside the proposed design, mould status, colour requirements and injection process.
Consider the product reference, construction information, mould route and testing requirements.
MD Phylon:
Connect the material choice with the footwear style, size run, reference and sample approval needs.
PU:
Define the outsole design and project requirements without assuming performance results that have not been specified.
State the intended material combination, structure, interface details and development requirements.
RFQ Preparation
Prepare the Information for a Useful Footwear RFQ
A quotation discussion is more productive when the supplier can review the product, quantity and delivery context together. Jinjiang WENCHANG asks buyers to provide the following information for an accurate quotation and project-specific review.

Sample Planning
Plan Samples Around Mould Status and Approval
Outsole sample planning depends on whether the required mould is already available. Existing-mould and new-mould routes have different development conditions, so identify the route rather than assuming one timing applies to every project.
01
Existing Mould:
Samples may be available in five days, subject to the relevant product and project review.
02
New Mould:
Samples may be available within one month when a new mould is required, with the final route depending on the design and development requirements.
Quantity Planning
Understand Standard MOQ and Conditional Trial Orders
The standard minimum order quantity is 1,000 pieces per style. This is the starting point for quantity planning, while the final commercial decision remains product-specific. A 600-piece trial order may be accepted for selected products, subject to design or process requirements and project review.
Shipment Planning
Review EXW, FOB and DAP Before Shipment Planning
Jinjiang WENCHANG supports EXW, FOB and DAP. These terms create different discussions about handover, transport and destination responsibilities. The suitable choice depends on the order, destination, transport plan and commercial arrangement.
Record the Destination, Required Schedule and Preferred Transport Method.
Transport May Use International Express, Air, Sea or Rail.
Confirm the Specific Cost, Handover Point, Transport Arrangement and Destination Details for Each Order.
