S-King can support a staged development process covering product requirements, material selection, sampling, customization, production, quality control, and shipment. The objective is to help buyers work backward from their selling season instead of waiting until the season has already started.
The answer involves more than choosing EVA or PU. Buyers need to consider the work environment, boot construction, standing versus walking demands, cushioning, support, thickness, durability, materials, and production consistency.
