Leira celebrates 25 years in footwear with new website launch

Marking 25 years in the business, Portuguese footwear brand Leira has unveiled a new website—developed with Felgueiras Magazine Soluções Web—to showcase its craftsmanship, values, and growing global presence.

Based in Felgueiras, a city renowned as one of Portugal’s leading footwear manufacturing hubs, Leira has established a reputation over the past two decades for its commitment to craftsmanship, tradition, and sustainable practices. The new platform—available at Leira.pt—aims to reflect the company’s core values while showcasing its evolution and ambition to expand further in international markets.

“With an elegant design, intuitive navigation, and carefully crafted content, the website aims to strengthen the connection between the brand and its customers, partners, and wider community,” Felgueiras Magazine said in a statement.

Leira’s CEO, Isabel Teixeira, described the digital launch as a significant milestone.

“We wanted a website that truly reflects who we are—simple, genuine, and crafted with care,” said CEO Isabel Teixeira. “It needed to mirror our approach: thoughtful, responsible, and rooted in a deep respect for craftsmanship.”

She added, “After 25 years, this platform lets us present who we are today while remaining open to new ideas and challenges. It’s our way of welcoming others and sharing what drives us.”

The website outlines Leira’s mission: to deliver strong footwear collections that meet current market demands while upholding the company’s values of precision, confidentiality, and fair pricing. At its foundation is a long-term vision rooted in trust-based partnerships and collaborative growth.

With a skilled team, modern production facilities, and a commitment to detail, Leira has grown into a trusted partner for global brands. Today, more than 95% of its production is exported, underscoring its ability to consistently deliver international-quality footwear.
