The sales agency
working for Europe's
comfort footwear brands.
MSA Shoes is the trade name of Martin Shoe Agency S.L., a Spanish sales agency founded in 1998 in Elche, in the province of Alicante. We represent a select network of Spanish footwear factories on behalf of international brands: a single office, four languages, four product lines.
We are the link between your buying department and the Spanish workshops.
Martin Shoe Agency S.L., trading as MSA Shoes, is a sales agency — neither a factory nor a design studio. We represent Spanish footwear manufacturers commercially, we maintain our own catalogue of ready-to-manufacture models, and we take charge of relaying each of your developments and requirements to the factories, from launch through to final shipment. Our customers are footwear brands, retail chains and importers across more than 20 countries. All of our factories are located in Spain.
What we do
We represent Spanish footwear factories to international buying departments. We select the catalogue of ready-to-manufacture models (comfort, barefoot, BIOS sandals and winter footwear). We take charge of commercial negotiation, sample logistics, production-calendar management and freight booking. We charge no intermediary margin: our commission is already built into the FOB price quoted to you.
What we do not do
We do not design collections under our own label. We do not produce outside Spain. We handle neither fast-fashion footwear nor high-performance athletic footwear.
The team
Sales managers who are native-level in English, German, French and Spanish, based in Elche, steering product development and the monitoring of sampling across every partner workshop.
Why an agency rather than a factory directly
A factory shows you its own production capacity; an agency gives you access to the combined offering of several factories. For a buyer building a comfort or barefoot range, the right answer rarely lies with a single supplier: more often it calls for several workshops with complementary specialisations. Our role is to connect you, efficiently, with the ones that fit — across distance and language alike.
Find us at the trade fairs.
Two international trade fairs a year — and for the rest of the year, we are in Elche, ready to welcome you into our partners' workshops. If you are a buyer in comfort, barefoot or wellness footwear, there is genuinely no good reason why we have not yet met in person.
