Custom-made Footwear
Custom-made Footwear Freight
About this Product
Custom-made footwear requires specialized shipping to preserve its delicate construction. Ship each pair individually padded with bubble wrap or foam to prevent damage during transit. Avoid palletizing due to fragility and ensure dry, well-ventilated packaging. Storage conditions must include dust-free environments and secure, raised pallet systems to minimize floor contact.
