Welcome to ShoeTemp Associates

What is ShoeTemp Associates?

ShoeTemp Associates is, as the name implies, temporary help in all of the areas, from development through shipping, primarily for the footwear trade, but also other industries.  This is offered through the services of a group of consultants with decades of experience in Shoe Factories in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Who is ShoeTemp Associates?

ShoeTemp Associates is an association of independent multinational footwear consultants that are looking forward to using our experience to help solve problems for your company on a temporary basis.

While all of ShoeTemp Associates consultants are experienced in the footwear industry, in the past we have applied many of the same principles in other industries.

Where does ShoeTemp Associates Operate?

As ShoeTemp Associates has consultants located in North America and South East Asia, we can provide coverage in most manufacturing centers in the Northern Hemisphere without major travel and the loss of efficiency that goes with it.  All of our associates have experienced living and working in many Southeast Asian countries, which helps to avoid the problems usually connected with inexperienced people working in a new culture.

What are your advantages in using ShoeTemp Associates?

The Main advantage to clients is the access to extensive experience on a short notice and a temporary basis.  All of our associates have at least three decades experience, (and generally more) in all aspects of footwear development, commercialization, technical, production and quality, but are not necessarily looking for long term employment

An additional advantage is that ShoeTemp Associates allows for a fixed cost solution, as associates work for for a fixed rate plus travel expenses. With ShoeTemp Associates, there are none of the additional costs normally associated with the average "overseas expat packages".

What types of footwear are ShoeTemp Associates experienced in?

ShoeTemp Associates consultants are experienced in all footwear constructions and genders.

Experience with footwear constructions include "cold " Cement, Slip Lasted ("Strobel") Goodyear Welt, Hand Sewn (pre-punched and "on the last"), "California" (wrapped platform, wrapped insole), tru-mocc and "Stitch and Turn".

This experience covers all genders from men's through pre-walkers
