Everything You Need to Know Before Buying Footwear Wholesale
Step into smart buying decisions with this boutique-friendly guide.
Choosing the right wholesale footwear for your store can make or break your seasonal performance. Whether you're looking to expand your range or just getting started with shoes, here’s a business-focused checklist every boutique owner should keep in mind.
1. Understand Your Customers' Lifestyle
Before placing a wholesale footwear order, take a step back and analyse your current customer base. Are they after chic block heels for events? Versatile flats for daily wear? Or edgy boots that match their urban style? JQ Wholesale makes this easier by offering category filters and flexible sizing options so you can buy footwear that aligns with your audience’s needs.

2. Look for Flexible Packs or Mixed Sizes
Footwear often comes in packs by size range, which can be limiting for smaller retailers. At JQ Wholesale, we work with brands offering flexible sizing or even smaller minimums to help boutiques manage stock more efficiently.

3. Review Seasonality and Delivery Timing
Shoes sell best when launched in line with seasonal buying behaviour. Summer sandals in March, winter boots in September, etc. Our footwear selection at JQ Wholesale is curated to reflect this rhythm, with fresh uploads weekly.

4. Material and Quality Matter More Than Ever

5. Don’t Ignore Visual Merchandising
Shoes are impulse-buy drivers — they need to look great in photos and in-store. JQ Wholesale provides clean, high-resolution lifestyle and e-commerce images you can reuse on your website or socials for better visual selling.

6. Check VAT and Pricing Structures
Are you paying VAT on shoes? What’s the final landed price? With JQ Wholesale, pricing and taxes are clearly displayed, and our accounting team is always here to help. This level of transparency sets us apart from many wholesale platforms.
