I bought this book, followed exactly what Wade said to do, and started my own brand! Just recently I ran into Wade in LA and it was awesome to meet him in person. Great guy and highly recommend all his books and courses. No doubt the tips we learned saved us lots of time and money when starting up. Check out Ponto Footwear!

I love this book!
I am a high-heel designer and started my business in 2013. I struggled a lot with some of the start-up details. This book answers all my questions and more. Great read and very informative. I suggest it to anyone starting out in the shoe world.

A must read for anyone thinking of getting into footwear!
A brilliant book from a great series of books. I founded a footwear company with no experience of the footwear industry and this along with Wade’s other books were invaluable in helping me get up to speed and understanding what needed to be done. A must read for anyone thinking about getting into the footwear industry.

Unbeatable value for aspiring shoe person.
This is a must-read for any student or entrepreneur who aspires to work at a shoe company or start one. It gives you the low-down on how shoe companies work, the people and processes involved, and what you need to consider before starting your own. Ideas on how you can get a factory to make your shoe, how long things should take, how much things should cost, and how to factor that into your own business and marketing plan. The value is unbeatable. The book is also extremely readable.
