Founded in 2007, 1 Hundred Shoes was built on a simple yet powerful vision: to create footwear that balances craftsmanship, innovation, and commercial intelligence.

What began as a family-driven initiative has evolved into a trusted footwear partner for international brands, combining Portuguese manufacturing excellence with a deep understanding of global market demands.

We do not simply produce shoes.
We build long-term partnerships grounded in quality, transparency, and performance.

Our Journey

The Beginning

In 2007, Fernando Leite established 1 Hundred Shoes with a clear ambition: to bring structure, precision, and elevated craftsmanship to the footwear industry. From day one, the focus was on detail from material selection to final inspection.

Over the years, we have grown steadily and sustainably, expanding our technical capabilities while preserving the agility and care of a family-led business.

Today, 1 Hundred Shoes operates with a prevention-driven quality system, structured development processes, and a strong commitment to continuous improvement.
