Develop Your Idea
You don't need to have every detail figured out. Share your sketches, references, or requirements, and we'll help shape them into practical, producible footwear.
Your Partner for Custom Footwear
You bring the idea. We work with you to turn it into a real shoe. With 30+ years of footwear experience, LANCI supports you from development and sampling to production — with flexible quantities, practical solutions, and reliable quality.
LANCI At A Glance
Founded in 1992, LANCI has grown from a small footwear workshop into a team that works alongside brands and businesses to bring footwear ideas to life.
You may come to us with a finished design, a rough sketch, a few reference images, or simply an idea you want to explore. Wherever you start, our role is to help you move forward.

Our Mission: Supporting Your
Footwear Journey From Idea
to Production
You don't have to figure out every step alone.
From developing an idea and choosing materials to creating samples, refining details, producing in small batches, and checking quality, we work alongside you to solve problems, make decisions, and keep your project moving forward.
How We Can Help You
More than a manufacturer, we work as your footwear partner — developing ideas, solving challenges, and bringing the right products to life.
Build the Right Solution
Not sure which material, colour, construction, or finishing will work best? We'll work through the options with you and find a solution that fits your product.
Solve Challenges Together
Not everything works perfectly the first time. When a design, material, or construction creates a problem, we'll work through it with you, adjust where needed, and keep the project moving.
From Sample to Production
The first sample is only the beginning. As you review, adjust, and refine the product, we stay involved through each step — helping you move from a sample you like to a product you're ready to produce.
The People Behind Your Shoes
Behind every pair is a team of people working together to move your project from an idea to a finished product.
You’re Not Just Working With a Factory.You’re working with the people behind your project — the designers, developers, production teams, and quality specialists who help turn your ideas into shoes that are ready for your market.
We care about getting the details right because your product carries your brand.
Our Journey
More than 30 years of footwear experience — built one project, one customer, and one pair at a time.
1992 — Where It Started
LANCI began as a small footwear workshop, built on a simple belief: good shoes start with good craftsmanship.
2001 — Growing With Demand
As more international buyers came to us, we expanded our production capacity while continuing to focus on the craftsmanship behind every pair.
2009 — Looking Beyond China
We began expanding into international markets and building relationships with customers overseas — many of which grew into long-term partnerships.
2018 — A New Chapter
LANCI officially became Chongqing LANCI Shoes Co., Ltd., marking a new stage in our development and reinforcing our commitment to people, quality, integrity, and dedication.
Today — Growing With You
Today, LANCI brings together footwear development, flexible production, and quality control to help brands and businesses turn ideas into products they can take to market — and keep developing what comes next.
Trusted By Brands
You can learn a lot about a manufacturer from the shoes they make. But the real story is in the projects, people, and relationships behind them.
