"If your shoes sell well, don't forget to try Israel." This sentence has recently begun to circulate in many cross-border merchants who export footwear products. As a country with a population of only more than 9 million, Israel's market may not be large, but it is "hot enough". Especially in recent years, with the rapid penetration of e-commerce and the increasing recognition of Chinese brands among local consumers, the sales of footwear products, especially medium and high cost-effective casual shoes, sports shoes, slippers, and sandals in Israel have continued to rise.

However, to truly enter this market, understanding the shoe-buying habits of Israelis is only the first step. Whether the shoes can be sent smoothly and how long it takes to reach the hands of customers is the key to determining repurchase and profit.

Israeli footwear market: niche but not stingy

Israel is not the kind of country that looks "suitable for selling shoes" at first glance, but if you dig deep into this market, you will find many unexpected surprises.

On the one hand, Israel is a country that attaches great importance to the comfort of daily wear. Due to the hot summer, the breathability and lightness of shoes are highly concerned. On the other hand, Israelis particularly favor foreign products, especially designer shoes from Europe and Asia, which also opens up market space for cost-effective shoes made in China.

According to data from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, the annual growth rate of online footwear consumption has remained above 13% over the past three years. At the same time, the number of footwear searches on platforms such as AliExpress, SHEIN, and Amazon IL has remained stable, and many shoe stores that focus on Chinese-made products have entered the ranks of "monthly sales of over 1,000".

It is particularly worth noting that although the tradition of favoring boys over girls still exists in the Middle East, Israel is an exception. Female consumers are more willing to spend money on shoes, and the demand for children's shoes and maternity shoes has also increased significantly, which has allowed many domestic brands of shoes to find a precise entry point.

So, how long will it take for shoes to arrive in Israel?

Back to cross-border logistics, footwear products belong to the "medium difficulty category" of cross-border e-commerce due to their moderate size and weight: larger than mobile phone accessories, but not as heavy as household products. However, the integrity of the packaging is extremely high. Once the transportation, customs clearance and delivery are slow, the probability of consumer returns and bad reviews will increase significantly.

Israel is also a country with "high logistics difficulty":

Local customs control is relatively strict, and sellers with insufficient customs clearance experience are prone to stepping on thunder;

The cost of full-country delivery is high, and there is a risk of unstable timeliness in the last-mile service;

Consumers have high requirements for logistics transparency, and package inquiries must be timely.

This is why more and more sellers are beginning to choose U-Speed Israel dedicated line service as the first choice for delivery.

Local inventory is more suitable for the delivery rhythm of "multiple sizes and colors" of shoes

A realistic problem is that the SKU of shoes is very small - a single style often has to be matched with 6-10 sizes and 3-4 colors. The traditional direct delivery method from China is obviously struggling in terms of stocking efficiency and return and exchange response speed.
