Custom shoes service
For a shoe design that isn't already on the market: JetPrint manufactures it from scratch in our own factory, built to your spec instead of customized from a template.
What is JetPrint's custom shoes service?
JetPrint's custom shoes service is full-scale manufacturing of an entirely original shoe design, not a template pulled from an existing catalog. You send finished 3D files or drawings, our factory builds a production sample for your approval, then manufactures and ships the full order once you confirm materials, colors and quantity.
This service exists for a design that doesn't exist anywhere else: JetPrint only accepts styles that are not already sold on the market, at a 2,000-pair minimum per design. If you want to customize an existing silhouette instead, with no minimum order, browse the print on demand shoes catalog, the same factory behind our custom sneakers dropshipping page, or add your logo to a stock style through custom shoes with logo.

What are the benefits of a custom shoes service?
Higher profits
A shoe nobody else sells earns its own price. Since your design exists only in your store, customers who want it cannot find it cheaper elsewhere, and the quality of a fully manufactured pair supports pricing a mass-market sneaker never could.
Entirely yours
Every part of the shoe, the last, the materials, the fit, is built to your specification instead of picked from an existing template. You are not settling for the closest off-the-shelf option to your vision; you are describing the shoe and we manufacture it.
More brandable
Your logo, colors and materials carry through the whole product, and custom branding options extend to the shoe box itself, so the unboxing tells the same brand story as the shoe.
How does JetPrint manufacture your custom shoes?
Ten production lines, running for 15 years, cover every stage from pattern to finished pair.
Where every design starts
Your 3D files or drawings become a pattern and a last, the foot-shaped mold that decides fit, before a single piece of material is cut. The finished shoe matches your spec sheet, not a stock size chart.
Cut to your spec
Uppers are cut from the leather, canvas or mesh you specify, built on EVA foam insoles and rubber outsoles chosen for the wear the shoe needs to survive, the same material choices behind our custom sneakers line.
Printed, debossed or stitched
Logos and graphics can be printed on the upper, debossed into leather or embroidered onto the tongue and heel. Embroidered branding runs through our custom embroidery line, and small logo runs on stock styles are covered by custom shoes with logo.
Approved before the bulk run
A physical sample is built and shipped to you before production starts, so materials, stitching and fit are approved on a real pair, not a rendering, before 2,000 pairs go into production.
The same factory floor as our full catalog
The factory floor behind our print on demand shoes catalog builds your custom run too, so if 2,000 pairs is more volume than you need right now, you can start smaller there and come back to a fully original design later.
How does the custom shoes service process work?
Send your design
Email us finished 3D files or drawings (email holds file quality better than live chat, which compresses attachments) and confirm materials, colors, sizes and quantity. Minimum order is 2,000 pairs per design.
Approve a sample
We produce a physical sample first, in 3-7 days, and ship it to you so you can check fit, materials and colors on a real pair before committing to the bulk run.
Confirm and start production
Once you approve the sample, a 30% deposit starts the bulk run, produced in 3-7 days on the same factory floor behind our print on demand shoes catalog.
Pay the balance and ship
Settle the remaining 70% and choose your shipping method. Shipping costs are covered by you; standard shipping takes 7-18 days and express shipping 3-7 days.
What does a custom shoes service order cost?
Custom shoes service pricing is built around the manufacturing timeline rather than a flat per-pair rate: a 30% deposit confirms your sample and starts the bulk run, and the remaining 70% is due once your order is ready to ship. Because every pair is manufactured from your own pattern and materials at a 2,000-pair minimum, JetPrint quotes cost per style once your specification is confirmed rather than posting a single public price.
Larger orders qualify for volume pricing: contact our customer service team with your target quantity and materials for a quote. If 2,000 pairs is more than your store needs today, the no-minimum print on demand shoes catalog or the 50-pair minimum on custom shoes with logo may fit better until you are ready to scale.

Choose the custom shoes service when your design isn't on the market anywhere and you can commit to a 2,000-pair run. Choose print on demand shoes when you want to customize an existing silhouette with no minimum, and choose custom shoes with logo when the shoe itself can stay off the shelf and only the branding needs to be yours.
Custom shoes service FAQ
How do I send you the design for custom shoes?
Email us your finished 3D files or drawings rather than sending them through live chat, which compresses attachments and can corrupt the file. Along with the design, confirm materials, colors, sizes, quantity and packaging so our team can quote and schedule your custom shoes service order.
How long does the custom shoes service take from order to delivery?
Production takes 3-7 days, both for your sample and for the bulk run once you approve it. Your sample is shipped to you for approval first, and the finished order is shipped once the bulk run is done. Standard shipping takes 7-18 days, and express shipping takes 3-7 days, depending on the destination.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The minimum is 2,000 pairs per design. That covers a single original silhouette; ordering multiple designs multiplies the minimum accordingly. Contact our customer service team for a discount on larger volumes.
What design files do you accept?
We accept 3D files and hand drawings of your design. A clear technical drawing or 3D model lets our team build an accurate pattern and last on the first attempt, which keeps your sample close to what you approve for bulk production.
How does payment work for a custom shoes service order?
A 30% deposit is due once you approve the sample, which starts bulk production. The remaining 70% is due once your order is ready, at which point you also choose a shipping method; shipping costs are covered by you and billed separately from the deposit and balance.
Is this different from ordering print on demand shoes?
Yes. The custom shoes service manufactures an entirely original design from your own pattern at a 2,000-pair minimum. The print on demand shoes catalog lets you customize an existing style with no minimum order, and custom shoes with logo adds your branding to an existing style from a single pair.
