Mariano
It all began in 1945, the year in which Manuel de Almeida Jorge, master craftsman in footwear, started producing Mariano quality shoes in the small village of São João da Madeira, the heart of traditional Portuguese footwear. His creations would soon earn renown across the country, both for the quality of the craftsmanship and their contemporary design.
We are passionate about shoes. We think about you, the customer – your comfort, your elegance, your individuality.
More than 70 years have passed since Manuel started out and his original workshop has grown apace with the growth of the brand. Still working from the original site at Rua Jaime Afreixo, Mariano now produces footwear which reach discerning customers around the world. Manuel’s family, now into their 4th generation, keeps his artisan spirit alive by staying true to his commitment to produce high quality, handcrafted footwear. From conception to design and beyond, skilled and gifted hands transform dreams into masterpieces, one pair at a time. From cut to shine, our shoes are entirely handmade. Each pair of Mariano shoes tells a personal story.More than 70 years have passed since Manuel started out and his original workshop has grown apace with the growth of the brand.
