I've had a few businesses contact me about shoe store supplies. There are many back room items that shoe stores need, but there aren't many places they can buy them any more. Common items include:
- Try-On Socks
- Knee-Hi FootSox
- Shoe Stretchers
- Shoe Stretch (liquid or spray)
- Halters
- Foam Insoles
- Heel Grips
- Foam Taps
- Cork Taps
- Tongue Pads
- No-Slip Pads
- Instant Shine Spray
- Shoe Polish
- Shoe Cream
- Professional Shoe Horns
- Brannock Devices
These are all items common to shoe boutiques. Try-on socks are necessary for health code reasons (people come in the store without socks on and want to try on shoes). Bulk Halters, Tongue Pads, Heel Grips, Foam Insoles, Shoe Stretch, Stretcers, Foam and Cork Taps are used to help adjust shoes to fit the individual. Shoe Horns and Brannock measuring devices are for measuring and trying on shoes. Shoe polish, shoe cream and instant shine spray help spruce up shoes that were scuffed in shipping.
All of these products are used by shoe stores and boutiques everyday and there are not many suppliers out there for this type of stuff. The best wholesaler by far is Burten Distribution. They've been supplying shoe stores for over 25 years and are the largest shoe store supply company in the United States. Call them and get your shoe store supplies today.
