Men's Shoe MOQ & Pricing Guide
Men's shoe MOQ and quotation pricing depend on the selected style, materials, colours, size run, branding, packaging and total order mix. LIDO Shoes confirms these commercial details for each programme rather than publishing one set of terms for every shoe. A useful request identifies the target market, categories, expected quantity, colour allocation, construction direction and required delivery timing. Standard orders use FOB terms; other arrangements are discussed according to destination and order requirements.

What changes MOQ and quotation pricing
Style complexity, upper and lining materials, outsole choice, colour allocation, size run, branding, packaging and total programme mix are reviewed together.
How do per-style MOQ, colour allocation and total programme mix differ?
Per-style MOQ is the quantity considered for one selected style.
Colour allocation is how that proposed style quantity is divided among colours.
Total programme mix is the combined proposal across selected styles and colours.
The three levels are reviewed together and confirmed in the buyer quotation; a proposed combination is not automatically accepted.
What to include in a quotation request
Share the target market, buyer type, product categories, reference styles, expected quantity, colour plan, size range, branding scope and requested timing.
Is there one MOQ for every men’s shoe?
No. MOQ is confirmed by style, material, colour and total order mix.
Can colours and styles be combined?
The proposed mix is reviewed with the selected materials, colour allocation and production requirements before it is confirmed in the buyer quotation.
