Buying footwear wholesale
Kids' footwear is one of the few lines where parents buy several times a year, because feet grow quickly and children wear shoes out on playgrounds. Casual shoes carry the everyday trade, sandals peak in summer and during the monsoon, when parents prefer open footwear, and socks are a reliable add-on at the counter.
Size planning is the hardest part. Children's sizes move in small steps and parents rarely buy more than half a size up, so a size run with no gaps sells better than deep stock in a single size. Keep a foot-measuring scale at the counter and note which sizes sell out first; those are your reorder sizes.
Pink is the lead colour for young girls, but black sandals sell well because they go with school uniforms and festive outfits alike. Add a pack of cotton socks to each shoe sale, and keep a small stock of larger sizes such as the navy casual shoe for teenage girls who have moved past children's sizes.
Selling prices on this page run from ₹399 to ₹1,199. Shop by type: Casual Shoes.

Footwear: questions buyers ask
How many sizes should I keep in kids' casual shoes?
Cover a continuous run across the ages you serve rather than skipping sizes, because a parent who cannot find the right size simply leaves. Start with fewer pairs per size and reorder the sizes that sell out first; for most shops these are the primary school years.
Do kids' sandals sell during the monsoon?
Yes, often more than shoes. Many parents prefer sandals for wet days so closed shoes do not stay damp, and the summer holidays bring a second peak. Black and pink sandals are the easiest to sell to girls, as they match both school and casual clothes.
Is it worth stocking children's socks with footwear?
It is a simple way to add to every sale. Parents buying new shoes often need socks to go with them, and multicolour cotton socks are an easy counter purchase. Keep them right next to the trial bench rather than on a separate shelf.
