Bespoke sole development

Your sole. Your molds. Our engineers.

Bespoke sole development for footwear brands, from last to mass production. You own the tools. We oversee every batch.

The problem

A custom sole is a big bet. Losing control of it is worse.

Developing your own sole means a new last, new molds and months of testing. Too often the factory ends up owning the know-how, and quality problems show up only at delivery.

Stockholm · Dongguan · Ho Chi Minh

European engineering. Hands-on in Asia.

We lead design and strategy from Stockholm, with engineers and QC staff on site in China and Vietnam, and production across China, Vietnam and Cambodia. Decades of combined experience in lasts, molds, materials and quality.

From brief to batch in three stages.

  1. 01

    Brief & design.

    We define performance, fit, standards and target price, then design the sole and last.

  2. 02

    Engineer & test.

    2D/3D engineering, 1:1 prototypes, mold tooling and lab testing.

  3. 03

    Produce with on-site QC.

    Our staff inspect production and report on every batch.
