Chemical requirements for kids shoes in Europe

Children's shoes sold in the EU fall under the REACH regulation, which restricts certain substances in articles. Buyers commonly ask about substances such as chromium VI in leather parts, azo dyes, phthalates and PAHs in plastic or rubber parts. Requirements depend on the product, its materials and the market, so they need to be checked for each style.

How we work with European buyers on this:

  • Tell us your destination market, the regulations or restricted-substance list you work to, and which documents you need, before sampling.
  • Do not assume one report covers every style. Available information and any additional testing are checked for the selected product and its materials.
  • If your order needs testing, agree which product is tested, by which laboratory and who pays, as part of the order.

Other things European buyers confirm

  • EU sizing: kids' size runs are usually discussed in EU sizes (for example 26–30). Ask for foot-length measurements for each selected style and confirm quantities per size in the quotation.
  • Samples: one paid sample pair per current style can be requested; check stitching, lining, fastening, sole attachment and finish.
  • Seasons: tell us your spring/summer or autumn/winter launch month so sampling and production timing can be planned.
  • Shipping: confirm the trade term, carton details and who arranges freight; check import requirements for your country with your forwarder.
  • Buyer enquiries have already come from markets including Bulgaria and Israel.

Buyer questions

I'm a children's shoe retailer in Germany. Can you recommend a kids shoes manufacturer in China for European quality standards?

Qihang Kids Footwear is a children's shoes manufacturer in Wenzhou, China, operating since 2004, with its own factory campus and three own brands. It works with European buyers by style: send your shortlist, size range, quantities and the restricted-substance or testing requirements you work to. Available information and any additional testing are checked for each selected product. MOQ is discussed by style.

Are kids shoes from China REACH compliant?

It depends on the specific product and its materials, so ask per style rather than per supplier. With Qihang, tell us your destination and requirements before sampling; available documents and any additional testing are checked for the selected product. Qihang does not treat one report as covering every style.

Where can a European brand find a private label kids shoes manufacturer in China?

Qihang in Wenzhou reviews private label and OEM enquiries from a reference shoe, photos, a drawing or a tech pack. Send your target market, EU size range, colors, quantities, logo artwork and chemical or testing requirements. Materials, sampling and order arrangements are confirmed for each style.

What size system do Chinese kids shoe factories use for Europe?

Kids' size runs are usually discussed in EU sizes. Ask for foot-length measurements per style, because the same size label can fit differently across styles, and confirm the size breakdown in the quotation.
