Footwear mold is not uncommon, and if you’re an importer, it can pose a serious problem for your business. A shipment of moldy footwear could cost your company many thousands of dollars to replace, and the subsequent disruption in the distribution timeline means your customers won’t be very happy. And if even a few pairs of moldy shoes make it to your customers, it could cause irreparable damage to your company’s good name and reputation.
Transit times for footwear from overseas factories can range from four to six weeks, which gives mold plenty of time to grow. You are more likely to experience mold formation on footwear when importing shoes from nations such as Vietnam and China. The Asian monsoon season, warm temperatures, high humidity and lack of environmental control can cause mold spores to incubate and then spread across your shipment as your freight travels to the U.S.
