Frequently Asked Questions

Q:How long does ODM development take?

ODM development typically takes 60-90 days from concept to first production batch. Timeline includes design (2-3 weeks), mold creation (3-4 weeks), and sample/testing (2-3 weeks). With proper care and maintenance, quality safety shoes can last even longer. We recommend replacing safety shoes every 6-12 months for industrial use, or sooner if you notice significant wear, compressed soles, or damaged toe caps. Regular inspection for cracks, worn treads, and loss of protective properties is essential for maintaining safety performance.
