What we do
We don’t just make shoes. We develop them.
OPL International is a footwear manufacturer in Agra, India, working across leather and PU construction for men's, women's and kids' ranges. A programme can begin at any point — a sketch, a reference pair, a moodboard or a completed tech pack — and the same team carries it through material selection, pattern and last work, prototyping, fit correction, buyer sampling and quality-controlled bulk production.

About
The product comes first.
OPL International Shoes Pvt. Ltd. is a footwear manufacturing company based in Agra, Uttar Pradesh — India's oldest and largest footwear cluster — producing leather and PU footwear for men, women and kids across two manufacturing units.
The work starts at the product rather than at the order. Before a style reaches a production line it has been through last selection, pattern and grading, material trials and a fit-corrected sample, because those decisions determine what a pair costs to make and how consistently it can be repeated at volume.
Design and development run in-house alongside production. A brand can arrive with a reference photograph, a moodboard or a finished technical package, and leave with a buyer-ready sample and a costed route into bulk — with OEM, ODM and private-label programmes handled the same way.
Who we work with
Built for different kinds of brands.
What a programme needs depends on what you arrive with. A retailer developing an own-label range works differently from a brand sending a completed tech pack, and both work differently from a founder with a single reference pair.

Collections
Built around the product.
Six core categories across men's, women's and kids' footwear — sneakers, boots, casuals, loafers and open footwear in leather, suede, nubuck and PU. Any style can be produced as shown, reworked for a market and price point, or used as a reference for something developed from scratch.
Design & development
Designed before it is produced.
Development happens in-house. 33+ original designs have been taken from concept through to a sample a buyer can hold, and the same route is open to a brand arriving with its own idea.

Materials
What the product is made of.
Upper, lining, sole and components are selected against the construction, the target landed cost and the market a pair is going to. Leather, suede, nubuck, textile and PU uppers are combined with EVA, TPR, PU and rubber soling depending on the weight, flex and wear the style needs. Sourcing is arranged per programme rather than held as fixed stock.
- Leather Full-grain and corrected-grain leathers selected per construction and finish.
- Nubuck Sanded leather with a soft surface, used across boots and casuals.
- Suede Split leather with a napped finish, common in seasonal and casual ranges.
- Textile Woven and knitted uppers, linings and reinforcements.
- PU Synthetic uppers and components for price-led and vegan ranges.
- EVA Lightweight midsole and footbed material.
- TPR Durable outsole compound for casual and everyday footwear.
- Rubber Outsoles where grip and wear resistance are the priority.
- Components Laces, eyelets, zips, buckles, insoles, shanks and reinforcements.
Quality
Quality, built into the process.
Inspection sits inside production rather than at the end of it. Material is checked before it is cut, and the pair is assessed again at each stage it passes through, because a fault found at closing costs a component and a fault found at final inspection costs a finished pair.
The reference for every check is the buyer-approved sample. Inspection records can be shared on request, and where a customer runs its own or a third-party inspection programme, we work alongside it.

Questions
Before you enquire.
Can you develop custom designs?
Yes. Designs can be developed from a brief, a reference, a tech pack or a sketch, and adapted to the target market and price point.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on the construction, material and colourway. Share the product and quantity you have in mind and we will confirm against the specific style.
Can you work from our tech pack?
Yes. We can work to a supplied tech pack, or build one with you if the product is still at concept stage.
Can you produce under our own brand?
Yes. Private-label production covers branding on the product, packaging and labelling to your specification.
What quality checks are carried out?
Material is inspected on arrival, and the product is checked at cutting, stitching, assembly and finishing, then again on the finished pair before packing.
Which markets do you supply?
Regions we currently serve are listed on the Global markets section. Tell us your destination market and we will confirm what is involved.

Product category, destination market and target quantity are enough to begin. We will come back on construction, material options and what development and production would involve — and we will ask before quoting rather than guess.
