School shoes wholesale in Kenya

Wholesale school shoes: how it works

Wholesale school shoes work best when the sizes match what your customers buy. Tell us the quantity you want by size, and we quote a wholesale price for the run. Because school shoes sell in a seasonal rush at the start of each term, we suggest ordering before the term opens, then topping up the sizes that sell fastest. Reordering is a message, not a restart.

Planning your size run

For a shop, stock more of the sizes most children wear in lower and upper primary and fewer of the extremes. For a school, base the run on enrolment by class. We help you build the split, and adjust it after your first order using what actually sold.

Stocking school shoes: what shops and schools should plan for

School shoes are a seasonal product. Most sales happen in the two weeks before a term opens, and a shop that runs out of the popular sizes loses customers to the next shop. A school that orders too late finds children turning up in the wrong shoes. Planning the order is more important than finding the lowest price.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based business that supplies school shoes wholesale to bookshops, uniform retailers, resellers and schools. For current standard prices and how they work, see the school uniform price list.

How to build a size run for a shop

1. Look at last term's sales by size, if you have the records.
2. Put the heaviest stock in the middle of the run, where most children fall.
3. Hold fewer pairs at the smallest and largest ends, but do not skip them.
4. Split lace-up and velcro-strap, with more velcro in the smaller sizes.
5. Order before term opens, then top up the sizes that sell fastest.

If you are new to stocking shoes, tell us your shop's location and the schools nearby. We help you build a first split, then adjust it using what actually sold.
