Shanghai International Shoe Expo 2026
About the Exhibition
As a major producer, trader, consumer and the world's largest exporter of footwear, China makes over 12 billion pairs of shoes a year — more than 80% of global output. The Shanghai International Shoe Expo is one of the world's four largest international footwear fairs and a leader of the shoe market in China and across Asia. Under the theme 'New shoes, new retail and new fashion,' it brings together domestic and international footwear brands, manufacturers, traders, suppliers of shoe materials and equipment, and professional buyers to advance China's footwear industry through new-product displays, order placement and high-level forums. Each year over 800 renowned manufacturers and traders from more than 20 countries take part across 1,500+ stands and 1,000+ brands on more than 30,000 sq m, drawing tens of thousands of professional buyers — retailers, department stores, specialty shops, wholesalers, e-commerce players and brand owners.

Dates: 26–28 June 2026. City: Shanghai. Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). Dates are set by the organizer and can be revised, so check them against the official source before booking travel.

Most stands work in Chinese and only some teams speak English. We arrange a Chinese interpreter in Shanghai: at the stands, in supplier negotiations and on factory visits.
Hotels near the venue sell out months ahead, so start planning well before 26–28 June 2026. Entry requires a visa: we explain the document requirements, and the Chinese consulate decides on issuance.
