What We Do
We buy raw and mixed used footwear, sort and grade it in Houston, pack it into export-ready bags, and supply wholesale buyers by container or by category.
In-House Grading
Paired, inspected, and separated into categories, then graded against one internal standard.
Export Bag Packing
Graded categories packed for export, normally in 50 lb bags, with heavier bags on request.
Container Supply
40-foot and 20-foot loads built to the buyer's category mix, or single-category bag orders.

Three grade tiers, one standard
Grade describes condition, not product type. Every category we sort is graded against the same definitions.
Grade A / #1
Higher-quality footwear with stronger resale value and customer demand.
Higher Grade B / Intermediate
Commercially saleable footwear below Grade A but generally above standard Grade B.
Grade B / #2
Lower-grade but commercially saleable footwear for price-sensitive markets.
