Wayz

The Portuguese brand Wayz designs gender-neutral, seasonless and versatile sneakers with transparency and ethical practices. Their shoes are made from high-quality vegetable tanned leathers and recycled materials, most of which are sourced and produced within a 70 km radius in Porto, Portugal. 

Deeply proud of its roots, the brand prioritizes local design, sourcing and manufacturing. Wayz partners with local family-owned businesses that have decades of expertise in shoemaking. These skilled artisans are paid fairly, work in good conditions, and are protected by labor laws. 

Being close to the producers and suppliers gives Wayz many major advantages: frequent visits, fostering strong relationships, collaborating directly, testing new materials and designs, and continually enhancing the quality of their sneakers. It also significantly reduces the environmental impact of their products. 

Wayz believes that in addition to being practical, footwear should also honor individuals, embrace diversity, promote authenticity and celebrate uniqueness. That’s why all of Wayz’s thoughtfully crafted sneaker collections pay tribute to the many different personalities that make our world richer, more diverse, and full of life. 

Wayz sneakers are built to last, and hope to be a long part of the lives and memories of conscious consumers.
