Publishing Shoes on Marketplace​

Publishing Shoes on Marketplace is a great way for creators to build a unique virtual fashion brand and connect with users shopping for creative ways to express their identity on Roblox. Previously, creators could only publish Shoes in an adjacent category (such as Pants).





Here’s how it works:

1. In Studio, select Import 3D under Avatar in the Toolbar and select the files for the shoes you would like to import.
   • Each individual shoe has a maximum budget of 4000 triangles.
2. Use the Accessory Fitting toolfor each left and right shoe. Each shoe should be their own accessory object.
3. Name the respective shoe accessories LeftShoeAccessory and RightShoeAccessory
4. Select both shoe accessories and right-click and select Group as a Model.
5. Right-click the model and select Save to Roblox.
6. Select Shoesas the asset category.
7. Press Submitto upload your shoes to the Marketplace.

Shoes can be published from individual creator accounts, as well as from Communities.

Going forward, non-Limited Shoes will have a publishing advance of 600 Robux, while Limited Shoes will have an advance of 5000 Robux. All paid Shoes will be subject to a dynamic price floor.

Improving How Shoes are Merchandised​

We’ve also made a cosmetic change to how Shoes are displayed on Marketplace to improve visibility and showcase unique design elements. Now, both Shoes in the pair will be displayed from above.






All Shoes must now be published in the Shoes category going forward. We plan to automatically migrate existing Shoes to the new category in the near future and will have more information on timing to share soon.
