Synthetic Leather for Shoes
PU and microfiber synthetic leather rolls for shoe factories and footwear brands, matched to your sample.
Where the Material Goes in a Shoe
A shoe uses synthetic leather in several places, and each place asks for something different. Fuzhou Leather supplies PU and microfiber rolls to shoe factories and footwear brands.

The Three Tests That Matter for Shoes
Shoes bend thousands of times, rub against the ground, and stay in the sun and the rain. Three tests speak to that, and we run all three on finished rolls.
- 01
Flex durability
Shows how the coating holds up under repeated bending, as at the toe flex.
- 02
Abrasion resistance
Shows resistance to scuffing at the toe and heel.
- 03
Colorfastness
Shows whether the color stays stable in use.
Cutting and Lasting on Your Line
Lasting pulls the upper tight over the shoe last, so the backing has to stretch the way your process expects. Tell us how your upper is cut, lasted, and stitched. We adjust backing stiffness and surface slip, and we can advise on thickness for uppers and linings.
Texture, Perforation, and Print
Custom embossing, perforation, and digital printing are available for uppers and trims. Send a reference sample or artwork, and we will make a counter-sample for your approval.

Building a seasonal color card?
Send a color reference for each color. Repeat orders use the recorded specification, so a restocked color matches the first run.
Running Seasonal Colors
500–800 mMOQ per color
MOQ is 500–800 meters per color, so plan the number of colors per season in advance. Send a color reference for each. Repeat orders use the recorded specification, so a restocked color matches the first run.
