Made In Midtown's Footwear Development and Production
Create Your Custom Shoe Line
USA Based Manufacturing & Sampling
In an era when fashion production has largely departed from American shores, Made in Midtown is a testament to innovation and cutting edge design that once defined the industry.
Our facility is not just a factory—it is a creative haven where ideas flourish and craftsmanship thrives.
Made in USA
Nestled in the vibrant heart of New York City's garment district, Made in Midtown stands as a beacon of innovation and tradition.
It is a unique symbiosis of creativity and craftsmanship, where the worlds of shoe design, development, production, digital content, and web services converge, offering unparalleled support to brands of any size—all under a single, iconic roof.
While most remaining U.S. footwear manufacturers specialize in a single style—be it workwear, athletic, or casual—Made in Midtown is a rare gem. We pride ourselves on our ability to develop a full spectrum of styles, from A to Z, embodying versatility and adaptability. This makes us the go-to destination for designers seeking a partner that can match their diverse and dynamic creative ambitions.
In every stitch and every step, Made in Midtown exemplifies the harmonious blend of modern technology and traditional craftsmanship. We invite you to visit and experience firsthand the meticulous attention to detail and innovative spirit that define our offerings. Here, in the bustling heart of New York, we redefine what is possible in footwear design and production, one sole at a time.

Our Team.
The craftsmen in our factory are all masters in the art of shoemaking, including some that have worked 30+ years making shoes. Since the decline of the fashion production industry throughout North America, qualified shoemakers have flocked to MIM to get reliable work. Thus, we have a congregation of some of the best shoemaking talent in the world.
In addition to our New York City factory, we also have spent many years strategically cultivating relationships with exceptional and trusted factories and suppliers in Italy, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Mexico, China, and Taiwan. This is one way we can cover such a wide variety of needs and services.
We visit our overseas factories up to six times a year, as well as our partners frequently visiting us, in order to maintain our supplies, see new and upcoming trends and products that have not yet reached the US market and always be on the same page with our partners.
