Our Legacy

In 1945, Manuel de Almeida Jorge founded Mariano Shoes in São João da Madeira, a village in northern Portugal renowned for its rich shoemaking heritage. His designs quickly earned recognition for their exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary style.

Nearly 80 years later, Mariano continues to honor this legacy. Now based in nearby Oliveira de Azeméis, we remain dedicated to crafting premium, handcrafted shoes for a global community. Our skilled artisans meticulously create each pair, blending timeless techniques with modern elegance.

Each pair of Mariano reflects our commitment to Portuguese shoemaking tradition. From the initial leather cut to the final polish, our footwear is entirely handmade, emphasizing quality and detail.

We invite you to experience the heritage, artistry, and contemporary design of Mariano Shoes.
