Why dropship shoes?

As long as people continue being born with feet, there will continue to be a massive market for shoes. The online shoe sales industry in the United States alone has grown by 10.4% over the past five years to $14 billion. Like other clothing items, shoes are viewed by many as a necessity and a luxury. While the industry is dominated by a lot of big brands, there are many opportunities for small businesses to tap into the shoe market.

That’s because there are so many niches within the shoe industry for you to choose from. To name just a few, there are running shoes, tramping shoes, dress shoes, high heels, canvas sneakers, leather boots. The list goes on! The evolving nature of the fashion industry means you may be able to ride the wave of new trends. Shoes are also typically lightweight, durable, and fit within a shoe box, which makes them perfect products for dropshipping.

How to dropship shoes?

The first step to dropshipping shoes is deciding which types of shoes you’re going to sell. It’s a highly-competitive market so it’s important that you focus on a specific niche. You might want to sell women’s formal footwear, or weightlifting shoes, or children’s shoes. The more refined your niche is, the better chance you will have of being successful.

You should also think about what end of the market you want to be in - high-end/expensive, low-end/cheap, or somewhere in between? Once you know what niche you want to focus on and you’ve done your market research, follow these three steps to get your dropshipping journey underway:

  1. Use SaleHoo Labs to find the best shoes products to dropship
  2. Browse the SaleHoo Directory to find trusted shoes dropship suppliers
  3. Start selling shoes products on your chosen online marketplace

Best shoes to dropship

SaleHoo’s powerful market research tool will help you to find profitable shoes with high sell-rates and low competition.

Top-selling shoe niches include:

Women’s dress shoes

Women have a reputation when it comes to shoes. They typically buy more of them than men for all different occasions. Women’s dress shoes are for formal occasions or nights out on the town. Even within this niche, there are many different styles to choose from, including heels, loafers, pumps, wedges, boots, and more.

Sneakers

Sneakers are the ultimate sports and leisure shoes. Everyone has a pair (or five!). There are all kinds of sneakers from made from a variety of different materials. There seems to be a trend towards sneakers made from sustainable fabrics as consumers become more conscious of the impact they’re having.

Sports shoes

While sneakers are a crossover shoe, sports shoes are more activity-specific. You can buy tennis shoes, running shoes, climbing shoes, boxing shoes, basketball shoes, football boots etc. Again, the options are almost limitless.
