Hi, I am fairly new to this business and I am looking to buy ladies, men's and children's shoes.

Would like to view stock in person.

Hi Karen,

Welcome to Wholesale Forum

Have a look at the following UK trade suppliers of ladies, men's and children's shoes:

• Wembley Footwear LTD - Specialist Suppliers in Wholesale Men’s, Women’s and Children’s Shoes, Boots and Footwear
• UKD - UK Distributors (Footwear Distributors) Ltd - UK, & Export
• Unze London :: A shoe brand of UK by Shalimar shoes

To find many more verified trade suppliers of ladies, men's and children's shoes from the UK and the rest of the EU, try the two largest UK online trade directories of verified wholesale suppliers eSources and Wholesale Deals. Both list tens of thousands of verified wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers and drop shippers.

Have a look at the following results:

UK Suppliers of Ladies, Men's and Children's Shoes

• Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers in UK - Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory
• Ladies Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers in UK - Ladies Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory
• Kids Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers in UK - Kids Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory

EU Suppliers of Ladies, Men's and Children's Shoes

• EU Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers - Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory
• EU Ladies Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers - Ladies Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory
• EU Kids Footwear and Shoes Wholesale Suppliers - Kids Wholesale Footwear & Shoes Directory

If you need to inspect the stock personally, consider visiting wholesale areas like Commercial Road, Barking and Wimbledon in London and Cheetham Hill in Manchester, where you will find a high concentration of wholesalers that you can visit in person to inspect their shoes. Also ask suppliers if they have a showroom or if you can visit their premises to check stock personally.

Another avenue is to visit footwear industry trade shows to meet with suppliers and check their stock firsthand. The UK's best known footwear industry trade magazine Footwear Today lists a number of upcoming footwear trade shows, have a look at the following link:

• Footwear Trade Shows - Footwear Today

If you want to distinguish yourself from other shoe retailers, consider offering a more complete range of shoes to diversify and fit all sizes, from smallest to largest, baby shoes, and off sizes for people with two different shoe sizes. This will show customers that they are dealing with an all round retailer of footwear who supplies solutions for all different sizes and shapes.

Approaching shoes designers directly can be a great way of obtaining exclusive shoes, this is a good avenue especially for sourcing fashionable ladies footwear. Have a look at the following London designers who sell their shoes at wholesale:

• Lacey's London: Trade Partners
• Esska Shoes | London urban footwear brand
