Buying footwear wholesale
Men's footwear in this section leans formal. Genuine leather shoes in black are the backbone, worn to the office, interviews, weddings and family functions, while the maroon leather pair gives buyers who want something different an option. Brown leather sandals cover casual and semi-formal wear in warm weather and are a steady seller in summer and the monsoon months.
A shoe shop or a menswear store adding footwear should start with black formal shoes in the common sizes, since that is the pair most men need at least once a year. Add sandals for daily wear, and keep the socks close by. A pack of three white running socks is an easy add-on for anyone buying sports shoes or casual footwear.
Leather needs some care in stock. Keep pairs in their boxes, store them away from damp walls during the monsoon, and polish display pairs regularly so they look new. Men's shoe sizes cluster in the middle of the range, so buy most pairs there and fewer at the ends.
Selling prices on this page run from ₹299 to ₹1,899. Shop by type: Formal Shoes, Sandals, Socks.

Footwear: questions buyers ask
Which men's shoe sizes should I order most?
In most Indian markets, men's sizes 7 to 9 move the fastest, with 6 and 10 selling more slowly. Start with that pattern for black formal shoes, then adjust based on what your customers actually buy over the first few weeks.
How should I store leather shoes during the monsoon?
Keep them boxed in a dry, ventilated area away from walls and the floor. Silica gel packets inside boxes help absorb moisture. Check display pairs for white spots or mould every week and wipe them with a dry cloth if needed.
Is it worth stocking socks in a men's footwear shop?
Yes. Socks cost little shelf space and many buyers need a pair to try shoes or to wear them right away. Packs of running socks sit well near the trial seat and add a small amount to most bills.
