Indetexx supplies wholesale new shoes from China to importers and wholesalers across 110+ countries. The product is straightforward: brand-new, never-worn footwear — men’s, women’s, children’s, and baby — packed into 20ft or 40ft containers with mixed styles per shipment. What follows is a detailed breakdown of what each category contains, what container configurations are available, and how the economics work for a container buyer.
Who This Supply Is For
This product line serves importers and wholesalers who need consistent container supply of new footwear. The typical buyer operates in one of these scenarios:
- Existing used-shoe importers expanding into new inventory. You already have distribution channels for used footwear and want to add a new-product line without changing your logistics chain. Adding new shoes to an existing used-shoe container order consolidates shipping and reduces per-unit costs.
- Market-specific footwear wholesalers. You serve a regional market (West Africa, East Africa, Southeast Asia, Middle East, South America) and need mixed-style containers — not single-SKU pallets — because your buyers expect variety within each purchase.
- Retail chains sourcing directly. You operate multiple retail locations and need consistent container supply at factory-adjacent pricing, not wholesale markups from intermediary distributors.
If you are in one of these categories, the sections below cover exactly what you get per category, per container size, and per packaging choice.
Product Categories — Four Lines, One Supply Chain
Indetexx’s new shoe inventory spans four categories. Each has distinct size ranges, bale compositions, and container yield profiles. The table below provides a summary; detailed breakdowns follow.
| Category | Size Range | Pairs per Bale | Bale Composition | Styles per Shipment |
| Men’s New Shoes | 40–44 | 40 | 10 skate + 30 athletic | 70–80 |
| Women’s New Shoes | 36–39 | 40 | 10 skate + 30 athletic | 70–80 |
| Children’s Sports Shoes | ≤35 | 50 | 10 skate + 40 athletic | 100+ |
| Baby & Toddler Shoes | 20–28 | 50 | 80% velcro/rotation + 20% lace-up | 60–80 |
Men’s New Shoes — Sizes 40–44
The men’s category covers the most common export size range for adult male footwear. Each bale contains 40 pairs: 10 skate-style shoes and 30 athletic performance shoes. Canvas shoes, pure skate shoes, and velcro/rotation shoes are excluded from this category — these items carry lower retail margins and are removed to maintain a consistent quality mix that performs well at market.
Style variety within a single men’s shipment runs to 70–80 distinct designs, with the full container shipment including duplicates of popular designs in different colorways. This mixed-style structure means retailers receive a range of product without the inventory concentration risk of a single-style pallet.
Container yield: A 40HQ container holds approximately 20,000 pairs in standard bagged packaging. Adding shoeboxes reduces yield to approximately 18,000 pairs due to volume displacement. A 20GP holds approximately 9,000 pairs bagged, or 7,000 with boxes.
Women’s New Shoes — Sizes 36–39
The women’s category follows the same structural logic as men’s: 40 pairs per bale, 10 skate-style and 30 athletic-style. The size range 36–39 covers the most common women’s export sizes for African, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern markets.
Canvas and velcro-heavy styles are excluded. The result is a mix weighted toward lace-up athletic and casual sports designs — the styles that move consistently in target export markets. Total style variety is 70–80 designs per shipment, with color variation within those designs.
Container yield: 40HQ accommodates approximately 22,000 pairs bagged, or 20,000 with shoeboxes. A 20GP fits approximately 11,000 pairs bagged, or 8,000 with boxes.
Children’s Sports Shoes — Size 35 and Below
Children’s sports shoes cover the school-age range up to size 35. Bale composition shifts to 50 pairs per bale: 10 skate-style and 40 athletic-style. Velcro and rotation shoes are included but capped at 20 pairs per bale to prevent over-representation of this lower-margin subcategory.
This category delivers the highest style count: 100+ distinct designs in a full container, making it particularly attractive to retailers serving children’s markets where parents buy multiple pairs and style variety drives repeat purchases.
Container yield: 40HQ fits approximately 30,000 pairs bagged, or 26,000 with boxes. A 20GP accommodates 13,000–15,000 pairs bagged depending on size distribution within the 35-and-below range.
Baby & Toddler Shoes — Sizes 20–28
For the youngest market segment, sizes run from 20 to 28 (approximately age 0–4 years). Bale composition is 50 pairs: velcro and rotation designs account for 80% of the mix, with lace-up styles making up the remaining 20%. The velcro-dominant structure reflects what actually sells — parents and caregivers prioritize easy dressing over style differentiation at this age point.
This category has the highest container density due to smaller product dimensions.
Container yield: A 40HQ holds approximately 33,000 pairs bagged, or 29,000 with boxes. A 20GP accommodates 16,000 pairs bagged, or 12,000 with boxes.
Container Configuration and Packaging Options
Two container sizes are standard: 20GP and 40HQ. The choice between them is driven by your working capital, destination market demand, and storage capacity at your warehouse.
Bagged packaging is the default — each pair in a protective bag, bales compressed for container efficiency. This maximizes pair count per container and minimizes cost per pair. Shoebox packaging is available as a paid add-on. Boxes improve retail display but reduce total pair volume by 8–12% per container, which increases your effective cost per pair. Custom box branding (your logo or label) is available above minimum order quantities.
| Category | Size Range | 40HQ Bagged | 40HQ Boxed | 20GP Bagged | 20GP Boxed |
| Men’s New Shoes | 40–44 | ~20,000 pairs | ~18,000 pairs | ~9,000 pairs | ~7,000 pairs |
| Women’s New Shoes | 36–39 | ~22,000 pairs | ~20,000 pairs | ~11,000 pairs | ~8,000 pairs |
| Children’s Sports | ≤35 | ~30,000 pairs | ~26,000 pairs | ~13K–15K pairs | — |
| Baby & Toddler | 20–28 | ~33,000 pairs | ~29,000 pairs | ~16,000 pairs | ~12,000 pairs |
The economics of bagged vs. boxed matter most at the per-unit level. For a women’s 40HQ, bagged yields 22,000 pairs; boxed yields 20,000. If your total container cost is $50,000, the per-pair cost is $2.27 bagged versus $2.50 boxed — a 10% difference that compounds across repeat orders. Boxed only makes sense when your retail market demands individual packaging and customers pay a premium for it.
Market Suitability by Category
Not every category performs equally across export markets. The table below maps each category to its best-fit regions based on observed sell-through patterns:
| Category | Best Markets | Price Position | Why It Works |
| Men’s (40–44) | East Africa, West Africa, Southeast Asia | Mid-range resale, sports retail, work-wear | Broad size demand; athletic styles match market preference for sportswear; 40–44 covers majority of adult male feet in these regions |
| Women’s (36–39) | South Africa, Middle East, South America | Women’s sports resale, casual retail, school uniform suppliers | Athletic-focused mix aligns with growing women’s sport participation; 36–39 covers primary size demand in target markets |
| Children’s (≤35) | East Africa, West Africa, Southeast Asia | Family retail, multi-pair buyers, uniform suppliers | 100+ styles drive multi-pair purchases by parents; highest repeat-buyer potential of all categories |
| Baby (20–28) | All regions | High-turnover, repeat-buyer category, gift markets | Velcro-dominant design sells consistently across all markets; parents prioritize convenience; highest container density gives best per-unit cost |
Quality Assurance and Product Standards
All shoes in this category are 100% brand new. They have never been worn, have no visible defects, and are not second-hand or overstock from retail returns. The new shoe supply chain operates separately from Indetexx’s used shoe sorting operation — new inventory is sourced directly from factory production, brand overruns, and manufacturing surplus, not from donation recovery.
Quality checks are performed at three points: (1) at factory source before acceptance into warehouse inventory, (2) during bale assembly when pairs are counted and inspected for visible defects, and (3) during container loading when a final count and condition check is performed. These checks apply to all four categories.
Export documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin — is handled by the Indetexx logistics team as standard procedure, not as an add-on service. The same team that handles 110+ containers per month across all product lines manages new shoe export documentation, which means the process is standardized and repeatable rather than arranged per order.
Ordering Process — From Inquiry to Container
The ordering process follows a standard sequence that applies to first-time and repeat buyers alike:
- Inquiry. Tell us your target category (or categories), container size preference (20GP or 40HQ), destination country, and packaging preference (bagged or boxed). If you are unsure which category fits your market, Indetexx can recommend based on your buyer profile.
- Quote. You receive a CIF quote (Cost, Insurance, Freight) to your destination port, including the per-pair pricing based on your chosen configuration.
- Sample bale (optional). Qualified buyers can request a sample bale to verify actual product quality, size distribution, and style mix before committing to a full container.
- Order confirmation. Deposit payment (standard 30–50%), production slot reserved.
- Loading and shipping. Indetexx handles production coordination, QC, container loading, and export documentation. You track the shipment to your port.
- Delivery. You clear customs at destination and arrange last-mile delivery. Indetexx provides documentation support if questions arise.
Lead time from order confirmation to container ready is typically 2–4 weeks, depending on current warehouse stock positioning and any special requirements (custom box branding, category mix adjustments). Ocean transit time varies by destination and is included in the quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard minimum is one 20-foot container (20GP). Trial orders below full-container quantity can be discussed — contact Indetexx with your requirements. Bale quantities are fixed per category: 40 pairs per bale for Men’s and Women’s, 50 pairs per bale for Children’s and Baby.
Are the shoes brand new or seconds?
All shoes in this category are 100% brand new. They have never been worn, have no visible defects, and are not seconds, overstock, or retail returns. They come in standard bagged packaging — not original retail boxes unless boxes are purchased as an add-on.
Can I mix categories in one container?
Yes. If you also source other products from Indetexx — used clothing, used shoes, bags — you can consolidate shipments. One container, multiple product lines, one logistics partner, one invoice. This mixed-container option is a structural advantage over single-category suppliers.
How do I know the quality matches the specification?
Sample bales are available for qualified buyers. A sample bale lets you verify actual product quality, size distribution, and style mix before committing to a full container. Contact Indetexx to request samples and discuss shipping options.
Which countries do you ship to?
Indetexx exports to 60+ countries across Africa (East, West, North, Central, and Southern), Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America (Chile, Peru, Colombia), and Oceania. The logistics and documentation teams are experienced with customs requirements across these regions. Tell Indetexx your destination and they will confirm coverage and documentation needs.
