Product reliability and competitive pricing policy has led one of its brand – Shoes to the sky. SAF footwear products are warmly welcomed by the customers in the markets due to its attractive designs, colors and comfort etc.
Recently, the management of SAF has decided to enter into manufacture and market sports shoes for men athletes running in the Regional Olympics. The new brand has been given the name of “Boots”. Although, there are so many companies in the World crafting shoes for professional athletes running in many Olympics in the world. SAF has a totally new system of crafting this proposed shoe in a unique style.

Also, the customer is given the choice to select any design out of 260 fabricated shoes. In the last phase, all these specs are fed into a highly Automated Boot Manufacturing Machine (ABMM) to develop a prototype. This takes only 2 hours to finish. After this, the customer is invited to try this prototype and a test-run is offered to him on the SAF’s especially developed running track. Various goods or bads are recorded at the time by SAF’s especial teams. Later, upon formal approval from the customer, these findings are again fed into the machine. After 5 days, the ordered shoes are shipped to the customers
