About Aliveshoes

Our mission

AliveShoes gives talented and creative people all over the world the professional resources to design their own custom shoes and launch a shoe line from scratch.

Our vision

For too long, the footwear industry has been fraught with barriers, making it difficult, if not impossible, for creatives, marketers, entrepreneurs, and influencers to launch small fashion and lifestyle shoe brands.

AliveShoes was created to pave a new path for anyone to design and produce quality footwear. Using our unique fashion-tech platform, individuals and small companies are easily able to start shoe lines for free, online, and in little time.
By eliminating the need for understanding supply chain and e-commerce, knowing a reputable network of producers, and spending six-figure start-up amounts, AliveShoes allows you to design and sell your own shoes with little risk but plenty of profits and rewards.

Shoes are indeed our main core, but we also aim to further expand our supply chain in the future, and offer our community of creators the opportunity to design multiple kinds of top quality design objects and fashion products; think special clothing, bags, fashion accessories, jewelry, sunglasses, leather objects, and more.

Fashion is an amazing medium of expression, and we are excited to offer talented creators the ability to share their new, beautiful products with the world.
