Features

We Lead The Way In Footwear Innovation
Retailers and wholesalers need to meet customer demand for the next level of footwear. Before we adopt any new material or design feature, we do expansive research to fully understand and demonstrate the benefits.
Our footwear development research and proficiency for implementing a product often results in us being first adopters of newly vetted trends.

Quality And Compliance Materials Testing
Plenty of shoes are a sight to behold, but they must also provide long-lasting comfort. Shoe design is nothing without a development process that’s centered on testing materials for quality and compliance regulations.
That’s why Mercury combines a creative, efficient shoe design process with a testing mechanism to identify the best, most functional materials – making the footwear development process complete.

We Monitor Working Conditions To Proliferate Social Principles
We believe firmly in maintaining a safe workplace, promoting fundamental human rights for workers and materials sourcing while upholding the most stringent requirements in the footwear development industry.
We have an in-house team that regularly monitors the working conditions of our global facilities to sustain equality and social compliance. We also provide training for our manufacturing partners to help them ensure labor rights throughout their facilities.
Design Dash:
Quick, Quality Shoe Samples In A Flash
Mercury’s Design Dash service is a rapid footwear design process with a prototype turnaround within 7-10 days – the fastest design cycle on the market. This allows you to provide a quality prototype to a retailer quicker than your competitors so you close the deal.
