50 Years of Excellence
The Art of Shoemaking in Heyuan
The QHCCID Standard
Craftsmanship since 1975
At QHCCID, we believe quality takes time. Rooted in Heyuan, Guangdong, our factory has adhered to traditional hand-stitching processes for half a century. While the world rushed toward automation, we preserved the human touch.
Our Heritage
A journey through half a century of dedication
"I craft each shoe not just to cover a foot, but to travel where I never could. My dream is to see QHCCID footprints on the highest peaks of the world and in its deepest valleys. Through my craft, I touch every corner of the earth."
Jiaming's Workshop
In a humble brick room in Xinshi District, Jiaming stitched the first pair. With no electricity, he relied on awls and beeswax thread, driven by a simple wish: to make shoes that could endure any journey on Earth.
The Choice of Quality
During the industrial boom, QHCCID made a pivotal choice: to refuse cheap glue construction. We preserved Jiaming's hand-welted techniques, becoming a hidden gem for boutique brands valuing integrity.
To The Peaks
We integrated modern Italian lasting technology, achieving ISO certifications. QHCCID shoes began exporting globally, literally climbing mountains and crossing oceans, fulfilling the founder's lifelong dream.
Leaving Footprints
Led by the second generation, Allen Wang, we continue the legacy. From Heyuan to the world, every pair of shoes carries Jiaming's spirit—ready to walk the highest and lowest paths of your life.
Slow Fashion, Hard Steps
"They said no one cares about the stitches you can't see. We disagreed."
A typical factory produces a glued shoe in 18 minutes. At QHCCID, we spend 10 days on a single pair. Why?
It's not just the hours of hand-stitching; it's the waiting. We let the leather rest on the last for days to memorize the shape, ensuring the fit remains perfect for decades. We don't rush nature.

The Decision of 1998
By the late 1990s, the "Fast Fashion" wave hit Guangdong. Factories were tearing out their stitching machines and replacing them with glue assembly lines. The promise was simple: make it cheaper, make it faster, make it disposable.
QHCCID stood at a crossroads. We had a massive order from a European client on the table, contingent on us lowering our costs by switching to cement construction (glue). It would have been the easy path to profit.
Our founder refused the order. It was a dark winter for the factory; machines sat silent, and uncertainty loomed. But six months later, that same European client returned. The cheaper shoes they sourced elsewhere had fallen apart in the rain. They realized that price is what you pay, but value is what you get.
Since that day, we have never compromised. That difficult winter defined who we are today: Stubbornly traditional, unapologetically durable.
