Nestled in the heart of Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Sepatu Timur Sdn. Bhd. is a footwear brand made by Malaysians, for Malaysians. Established in 1983, the company specialises in the production and supply of leather footwear for Malaysia’s defence, security, and law enforcement agencies.

​

Sepatu Timur has built its reputation as a trusted name in uniform footwear. The Royal Malaysian Police and Malaysian Armed Forces are no strangers to the company. Its shoes are worn daily by the personnel. Sepatu Timur’s product range includes combat boots, drill boots, oxfords, brogues, Chelsea boots and chukka boots. Every pair is designed to meet rigorous standards of performance, comfort, and durability.
Sepatu Timur also caters to women’s uniform needs, with products like ankle boots, slip-ons, and work shoes, ensuring  functionality and comfort. They are worn by female officers across multiple agencies like the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency and Royal Malaysian Police.

​

The company’s manufacturing facility in Pengkalan Chepa is equipped with advanced machinery and staffed by local professionals. Capable of producing up to 375,000 pairs annually,  Sepatu Timur stands as Malaysia’s only mass producer of Goodyear welted drill boots — the hardest method to date but with a construction technique prized for its strength, flexibility, and longevity.
 

Sepatu Timur’s products have been part of critical moments in the Malaysian history. Worn by Malaysia’s security forces during the Lahad Datu standoff in 2013, the company also continued production to support frontline enforcement teams, promising operational readiness while sustaining jobs for its local workers during COVID-19.
 

Most of the company’s contracts are awarded directly by the Malaysian government, reflecting trust and proven capability. Long-standing relationships with these ministries have led to major supply projects for the army, police, customs, and immigration departments. As an active member of MIDES, Sepatu Timur also provides technical guidance to agencies, further cementing its role as the pioneer in uniform footwear.

​

Celebrating its 42nd anniversary this September, Sepatu Timur remains committed to one mission: making quality footwear for those who serve the nation.
