For a better planet, we stand for sustainable footwear production

Placing people & the planet first

Since we have been in the fashion market for a long time, we are continuously working towards becoming a more sustainable company. When it comes to find the best for our business, customers, manufacturers, and the planet there is no finish line – we choose sustainable footwear production.

We stand for ethical shoes

Developing fair shoes for the best sustainable shoe brands.

Our shoes are the foundation on which our steps rest. They lead us to the most beautiful places, no matter how long the path is. They can say a lot about who we are. Shoes give us the right amount of comfort we need, never letting apart confident, style and affirmation. That's why we love shoes.

Being placed at Felgueiras, the heart of the shoe industry in Portugal, and a town with a strong connection to the environment, made us more aware of the importance of protecting our community. Locally and globally.



We are proud of our origins and, of course, share these values. Portugal Shoes places environmental and social responsibility at the core of our process.



We implement good practices by working closely to our manufacturing partners, using eco-friendly shoe materials, and ensuring safe, fair and equal working environment to all the people involved. That way we are contributing to the dignity of the local community and the world.

We are committed to the SDG – Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations

We take actions to advance societal goals.

Portugal Shoes is committed to align strategies and operations with these goals during all the processes of our business. That way, we aim to preserve the human rights, equality, decent work, our industry, and the environment. Here you can see some of the goals that we prioritize during our activity.
