How much does it cost to start a shoe line?

Thousands really. When I started mine I had to sell everything for very little profit. For the first few months I didn't sell much, so I spent about 2,700 dollars for advertising online which only kinda helped. All in all, if you don't have a lot of money to start, you'll not get very far. Like it literally takes about $15,000-$25,000 to start.
