In the global footwear industry, change is constant – trends evolve, materials shift and consumer expectations rise year after year. Yet, some fundamentals remain timeless: craftsmanship, trust, and the relationships built between brands and the people who bring their products to life.
This is the story of Amadois – a Portuguese footwear manufacturer rooted in tradition and guided by a forward-thinking vision.
Yet, some fundamentals remain timeless: craftsmanship, trust, and the relationships built between brands and the people who bring their products to life.
The Journey of Amadois
The journey of Amadois began in 1990 in Carregosa, Portugal, but its true foundation dates back much earlier. With more than thirty years of collective industry experience, the company was born from a family heritage of shoemaking – one that valued skill, patience and responsibility.


From the beginning, the mission was clear: produce high-quality footwear while building long-lasting relationships with brands around the world.
Not simply a manufacturer, but a partner.
Over time, the company evolved from a local operation into an export driven production hub, trusted by international brands across multiple markets. Yet one thing never changed – the belief that quality and collaboration must always come first.
Our Vision: Turning Brand Ideas Into Successful Shoes
Footwear doesn’t begin on the factory floor – it begins with a vision.
Today, Amadois sees its role not simply as a producer, but as a bridge between creative concepts and commercial market success.
Our vision is to empower brands by providing:
- Reliable development and sampling
- Technical and material guidance
- Flexible quantities from small runs to full collections
- Consistent production quality at scale
Whether the client is an emerging label or a well-established global brand, the objective is the same:
help them bring exceptional shoes to life – efficiently, responsibly and without compromise.
