Independent Checks for Safety and Fashion Footwear
Footwear inspection services in India for safety shoes, boots and fashion footwear, carried out by independent inspectors before your goods ship.
Integrated Overseas provides footwear inspection services in India for brands, PPE distributors and importers. Our inspectors check safety and fashion footwear at three stages: before production, during production and before shipment.
Footwear defects such as weak sole bonding, poor lasting, wrong sizing or missing safety marks are expensive once goods reach your warehouse. We find them at the factory, while they can still be fixed.

Three Checks
How We Inspect Footwear
Pre-Production Check
Leather, components, toe caps, midsoles and approved samples checked before cutting starts.
Inline Inspection
Cutting, stitching, lasting and sole attachment checked during production to stop defects spreading.
Final AQL Inspection
A random sample of finished, packed pairs checked using ISO 2859-1 AQL sampling.
Construction & Bonding
Sole adhesion, stitching strength, lasting quality and symmetry between left and right shoes.
Safety Features
Toe-cap fit, anti-penetration midsole presence and EN ISO 20345 marking checked on safety models.
Packing & Labelling
Size labels, CE and standards marking, box labels, barcodes and carton contents verified.

Footwear Inspection FAQs
Answers for footwear brands and PPE distributors.
Our footwear inspection services include pre-production checks of materials and samples, inline inspection during stitching and lasting, and final AQL inspection of packed pairs, covering construction, sizing, function, marking and packing.
We check safety features on site, such as toe-cap fit, midsole presence and EN ISO 20345 marking, against the certified model. Laboratory tests such as impact and compression are carried out by accredited labs, which we can coordinate.
Common defects include weak sole bonding, poor lasting, uneven stitching, colour variation, size mismatches between pairs, and incorrect labels or markings.
We inspect footwear across India, including the major footwear clusters, and in our other sourcing countries in Bangladesh, Vietnam and Laos.
Results are shared as digital reports with photos and GPS verification through our digital quality platform.
