Hello everyone! Me and my wife have an idea for some specialized boots, but we have no clue where to begin. Does anyone know of resources or have any pointers? Thank you!

    The issue with shoe manufacturing is that its extremely costly because of the size ranges + the Minimum quantities you have to order. It also takes up a ton of space.

    Recommendation: Hand make your shoes until you can’t keep up with the demand.

    refine your prototype until you’re sure your target market wants to buy them. Then find a manufacturing partner once you research the supply chain and volume you’re capable of producing with the funds you have. depending on where you live, seek resources/programs available to new start ups.
