Inventing New Products/Inventions - Shoe prototype manufacturer

Expert: Penny Ballou - 11/4/2009

Question
Penny,

I am looking to obtain a sport shoe prototype.

I have 2D drawings and a list of the necessary materials for the shoes.

I have ran across numerous prototyping manufacturers for fashion heels, but have not been able to find a decent company to produce my sport shoe prototype.

Can you offer any assistance?

Answer
Hello there,

I just had a shoe proto built for a client. It looks so marvelous and it's only a proto. My client has now found an investor in the shoe field willing to put up his money to take it to market. It's a case of being in the right place at the right time with the right proto. The client has a patent pending so that may have spurred the investor on.

You'll have to contact me off-line so I can get the two of you networked to see if what you have his equipment can produce. I suspect so but don't know for sure.

Regards,
