Standing with Portugal: Join Us and Support the Cause

In recent weeks, severe storms and flooding have left parts of Portugal deeply affected. Homes were damaged, routines disrupted, and many families were left facing sudden and unexpected loss. It is a reality we cannot ignore.

At Mariano Shoes, how we show up matters — for our community, our people, and the places that shape our story. Craftsmanship is at the heart of what we do, but responsibility is at the heart of who we are.

Step-by-Step: A Pair Donated

Throughout the month of February, for every pair of Mariano Shoes purchased, we commit to donating a new pair of shoes to someone affected by the floods.

This initiative is rooted in solidarity — and in the belief that small, deliberate actions can help restore dignity, comfort, and hope. A pair of shoes may seem simple, but it represents stability, protection, and the possibility to move forward.

Each purchase becomes more than an investment in handcrafted footwear. It becomes a meaningful gesture of support.

Supporting Leiria

Our efforts will focus on the region of Leiria — a place that sits between our Lisbon flagship store on Rua Castilho and our atelier in Oliveira de Azeméis. A region deeply connected to our journey, and one that was severely impacted by the recent storms.

This initiative will be carried out in close coordination with Cáritas Leiria, ensuring that every donation reaches those in need quickly and effectively. Through this partnership, we are able to respond with care, proximity, and responsibility.

A Meaningful Purchase This Month

We invite you to take part in this initiative.

Your support allows us to scale this effort and extend its impact — providing a greater volume of footwear to families rebuilding their lives. Together, we can transform a simple purchase into a powerful act of community.

Explore the collection. Walk with purpose. Help us take meaningful steps toward a new beginning.
