Made to order

Sourcing footwear for over twenty years.

Bennett and Baxter have a wealth of experience designing and sourcing quality men’s and children’s footwear, tailoring the bespoke process to suit the needs of your business and brand image.

We specialise in quality men’s leather formals and have a particular expertise with Goodyear Welted construction having previously owned two Goodyear Welted manufacturing plants.

Over the years our client base has been diverse, with each brand having our services tailored to their needs. Examples of retailers/brands we have worked with on an MTO basis:

Our Process

Step 1. The Brief

To ensure we fully cater to your unique requirements, you will meet with our sales and design team to discuss the technicalities of our collaboration and finalise the brief.

Step 2. The Design Process

Our expert designer with over 20 years of experience in the footwear industry will design and develop your products based on the brief and criteria set by you.

Step 3. Sampling

Samples will be arranged with the right factory partner to ensure the product matches the exact quality and specification required ahead of production. Buying samples will be submitted, and once a PO is raised we will raise fitting and confirmation samples. At this time all branded stamping and packaging will be confirmed.

Step 4. Costing & Sales

During the sampling process price, delivery and terms will be agreed.

Step 5. Production

Our UK  team will place production orders directly with our factory partners. Our India office team will then oversee all factory production to ensure quality standards, labelling, packing  and other specific customer requirements are met.

Step 6. Delivery

Direct shipments to customers will be arranged by our UK logistics team, ensuring that any specific packing requirements are met. We can supply DDP, FOB, or coordinate with a customer’s own shipping if that suits.

Step 7. Invoicing

Once goods have been successfully delivered, invoices will be issued by our finance team and followed up where required, ensuring all payments are made on agreed terms.
