Raised-Sole Sandal Factory — 8UW01

Raised sole edge with a heel strap for brand collections

Raised-Sole Sandal Factory — model 8UW01, developed for footwear brands, wholesalers and importers.

A raised sole sidewall gives 8UW01 a stronger side profile than a low-set backstrap sandal. Two buckled front straps and a rear strap keep the upper visibly structured. Men’s brand buyers can use the model as a more substantial-looking option within a coordinated sandal selection.

Develop a bolder side silhouette while keeping the two-buckle and backstrap arrangement clearly defined.

Construction review: raised sole edge with a heel strap

Assess the upper from the side as well as above. The front buckles should look proportionate to the raised sole edge, and the rear strap should align with the intended heel position. Sole height in an image is a visual feature; request dimensions and a fit sample for the production specification.

Material specification for 8UW01

8UW01 is specified with a cow split leather upper. The exposed strap areas make surface and edge finish important approval points. Compare the material where it bends, overlaps or meets hardware, then retain the chosen finished panel with the colour reference. Any proposed material change should be checked on the strap layout rather than accepted from a small swatch alone. Outsole specification: rubber. Specify the required surface treatment; a split-leather grade does not itself establish a suede finish.

Colours and variant specifications

8UW01 is listed in Grey, Brown. Choose the colour SKUs for your sample request and keep each material specification attached to its own code. Physical swatches and the approved sample establish the final colour reference.

EU / US sizing and custom development

Size reference: BGL8UW01DP1BL5, BGL8UW01DS1BL5

US sizes are approximate; confirm fit with samples.

Need EU 45, 46, 47 or another size outside the listed range? Shark Imperator supports custom size development, including new lasts and outsole moulds where required. We can adjust last shape, width, instep volume and toe allowance to your target market’s fit requirements. Send your size chart, foot measurements or reference last for assessment. Extended sizes are custom development options, not existing stock; tooling cost and development timing are quoted separately.

Private-label development for 8UW01

When developing from 8UW01, consider buckle size against the raised sole profile rather than in isolation. We can review upper colours and proposed branding with that proportion in mind, then discuss how the selected sample fits your wider collection and packaging presentation.

Shark Imperator works with footwear brands, wholesalers and importers on OEM, ODM and private-label projects. Send your technical drawing or marked-up reference with the changes you want to this model. Logo method and placement, hardware, material substitutions and packaging are reviewed against the selected construction before the sample specification is agreed.

Order planning and production terms

Confirm the agreed specification and schedule with your quotation. Delivery terms, freight, packaging requirements and any buyer-requested inspection or testing should be stated in the enquiry. Production timing does not include international transit.

Discuss your 8UW01 project

To develop 8UW01, send the selected colour SKUs, quantities by size, destination market and a marked-up reference showing your proposed changes. Use raised sole edge with a heel strap as the design reference when describing the revision. Include logo artwork and packaging references where available. Our team can review the brief, arrange sample development and prepare an OEM/ODM quotation.
