All VIBAe shoes are handcrafted in Portugal by our long-term partner factories, each specialising in different parts of the process — from shoemaking to footbeds and outsoles.
We collaborate closely with these trusted partners, who ensure fair working conditions and produce key components locally, such as the Carbon Step™ footbed and natural or recycled rubber outsoles.
Our shoes are made responsibly with LWG-certified leather from food industry by-products and Portuguese vegetable-tanned leather that shows unique, natural variations.
By keeping production in Portugal, we support regional craftspeople, reduce transport impact, and maintain a short, transparent supply chain — every pair tells the story of where and how it was made.
