Remediation for imported footwear and apparel

Weeks at sea, a delayed port, a container that warms and cools every day. Mould in imported footwear is a known risk, and it is often not visible until the doors open. We deal with affected consignments in the UK before they reach your customers.

Built on footwear supply chain experience

Re-Store Footwear is a trading name of Elegant Shoes Limited, which has worked in the UK footwear supply chain since 1985. We understand how goods from the Far East are manufactured, packed, containerised and shipped, and where things can go wrong along the way.

That experience shapes how we treat stock: the materials, the constructions and the packaging are all familiar to us.

Why footwear goes mouldy in transit

Whole consignments, handled properly

  • Container volumes.A recent job of 3,800 units of footwear and clothing was completed in 18 days.

  • Mixed stock.Footwear and clothing handled in the same programme.

  • Unit-level records.Labels and identifiers kept, so the consignment reconciles against the packing list.

  • Brand presentation protected.Original boxes remediated wherever possible, so your packaging reaches the shelf as intended.

Discreet by default

Our reports and records are confidential to you. We do not name clients or show their stock without permission.

Set up a remediation partner before you need one

If you import regularly, it makes sense to agree a remediation partner in advance, so that when a container arrives affected you can act the same day. Talk to us about how that would work for your business.
