Footwear Technical Designer Needed for Premium Slip-On (Design Tweaks & Factory Tech Pack)

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for an experienced Footwear Technical Designer to help me take a completed visual concept for a premium everyday slip-on shoe and make it ready for production. I already have high-quality visual renders, clear design directions, and a clear product identity. I need an expert to help me bridge the gap between design and manufacturing. Your Responsibilities: Design Tweaks: Review my current concept images and make slight adjustments to ensure the lines look perfectly proportioned and clean. Material Recommendations: Provide technical recommendations for premium materials—specifically for a stock injection-molded EVA sole, a highly comfortable anatomical footbed (blend of support and softness), and the engineered knit upper structure. Factory-Ready Tech Pack: Create a complete, professional Tech Pack with all measurement callouts, material specifications, and technical files that a Chinese shoe factory can immediately use for sampling. Requirements: Proven experience in technical footwear design (sneakers, lifestyle shoes, or recovery slides). A portfolio showing real Tech Packs and 2D blueprint drawings, not just beautiful 3D pictures. Knowledge of how footwear factories in Asia operate. If you are interested, please share your portfolio with examples of your technical footwear work. I will share the visual concept images with shortlisted candidates. Thank you!
