If you’re looking for a footwear material supplier and manufacturer in Vietnam, FX Footwear runs two Vietnam production bases for shoe components, with 41 million pairs of combined annual designed capacity. The network makes SCF, EVA, and PU insoles; footbeds; heel counters; upper components; and other molded footwear components for footwear brands and shoe assemblers.
Footwear Material Supplier in Vietnam
FX Footwear supplies components, not finished shoes. That distinction matters when your team needs control over hardness, density, compression set, fit tolerance, top-cover selection, test documentation, and production allocation.
A finished-shoe factory can manage the full bill of materials for simple programs. A component supplier fits better when the insole, footbed, heel counter, upper component, or molded part carries a defined performance requirement. If sourcing problems keep repeating before bulk production, compare specifications, testing responsibilities, and tooling assumptions before choosing a component partner.
Across the full FX Footwear group, eight factories provide 130 million pairs of annual designed component capacity. For buyers comparing a footwear OEM supplier, that group-wide scope means you can discuss insoles, midsoles, uppers, heel counters, eyelets, and molded parts with one component manufacturing partner.
Two Vietnam Production Bases
FX Footwear runs two Vietnam production companies: Fuxiang Vietnam New Material Technology Co., Ltd. in Tay Ninh Province and Fuxiang Sports Materials Technology Co., Ltd. in Ninh Binh Province.
| Production company | Location | Area | Staff | Annual designed capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fuxiang Vietnam New Material Technology Co., Ltd. | Tan Do Industrial Park, Duc Hoa, Tay Ninh Province | 12,000 m² | About 250 | 21 million pairs |
| Fuxiang Sports Materials Technology Co., Ltd. | Hoa Cong Industrial Zone, Ninh Binh Province | 9,000 m² | About 300 | 20 million pairs |
Together, the two bases provide 41 million pairs of annual designed capacity: 21 million pairs in the south and 20 million pairs in the north.
The Tay Ninh base serves programs near southern Vietnam’s shoe-assembly clusters, while the Ninh Binh base serves customers working with factories in the north. If a program moves between qualified bases, our team transfers the molds, confirms the schedule, and checks the process setup before production continues.
What FX Makes in Vietnam
FX’s Vietnam production bases manufacture SCF, EVA, and PU insoles; footbeds; heel counters; upper components; and other molded footwear components. They also run the process work that procurement teams need to verify: supercritical foam compression molding for finished SCF insoles, PU foaming, EVA compression molding, heat-press forming, cold-press forming, die cutting, and heel-counter forming.
Supercritical fluid foaming (SCF) can produce lightweight foam with high rebound potential. In Vietnam, FX makes finished SCF insoles through precision compression molding and downstream conversion. For brand teams, the practical questions are concrete: Can the material hit the target density? Does rebound stay stable by batch? Does the top cover bond cleanly? Does the part hold shape after repeated wear?
EVA remains the workhorse for cost-efficient cushioning. FX’s EVA insole programs typically use 20–45 Asker C hardness with a tolerance of ±3, depending on construction. Compression-molded and die-cut EVA designs fit athletic, casual, and workwear programs where predictable cost, fast development, and stable fit matter more than chasing the highest rebound number.
PU plays a different role. Open-cell PU gives soft step-in comfort, breathability, compression resistance, and long-term shape retention. Conventional PU works best for cushioning stability rather than maximum energy return, although higher-rebound PU systems can fit briefs that require more responsiveness.
A footbed is rarely just foam. It may combine a textile top cover, molded base, arch support, heel cup, gel or PORON insert, and printed logo. For deeper product-development detail, see our footbed manufacturer guide.
Commercial Terms and Factory Checks
FX uses the following reference points for standard programs. Actual timing depends on the construction, tooling, and approval status.
| Commercial item | FX reference point |
|---|---|
| Initial quotation | Within 48 hours for standard constructions with existing tooling and materials |
| Die-cut sample | About 3 days with an existing knife-cut setup |
| New-tooling sample | About 10 business days after specification and material approval |
| Standard production | Typically 20-35 days after order confirmation |
| SCF insole production | Typically 30-45 days |
| Custom bulk production | About 30-40 days after sample approval |
| Payment terms | FX and the buyer agree on terms during quotation |
Factory checks should be direct. Confirm the legal company name, production address, process list, tooling plan, incoming inspection, in-process control, final inspection, material traceability, current test reports, and payment beneficiary before you place a production order.
This is where low quotes become easy to read. One quote may include a single-density EVA part. Another may include a molded multi-density footbed with top cloth and insert. A third may leave out testing. Align the specification first, then compare price.
For compliance, ask for documents that match the project. A recycled-material program may need GRS documentation tied to the specific recycled content and supply-chain scope. For therapeutic or orthotic footwear programs, confirm whether ISO 13485:2016 applies. Chemical, physical, aging, bonding, and traceability reports should match the destination market and the customer’s test package.
Prepare a Clear RFQ
A good RFQ starts with the part, not the country. Send the drawing, size range, material target, hardness, density, top-cover requirement, color standard, logo method, test requirement, annual forecast, and requested delivery term before you ask for final pricing.
| RFQ item | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Component type | Insole, footbed, heel counter, upper component, or molded part |
| Material | SCF foam, EVA, PU, recycled EVA compound, sugarcane EVA, algae-based foam, or requested formulation |
| Physical targets | Hardness, density, compression set, rebound, thickness, and tolerance |
| Construction | Die cut, compression molded, heat pressed, cold pressed, laminated, assembled, or PU poured |
| Finish | Top cover, color standard, print method, emboss or deboss area, packaging |
| Testing | Chemical, physical, aging, bonding, traceability, or customer-specific test package |
| Commercial data | Size run, MOQ target, forecast volume, tooling status, delivery location, quotation deadline |
Sustainability claims need the same discipline as performance claims. Selected programs can use recycled EVA compounds, sugarcane EVA, algae-based foam that reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials, or Susterra®-based bio-PU formulations. GRS applies only when the recycled material, recycled-content threshold, certified supply-chain scope, and project documentation match the requirement.
