Felmini
Portugal · Est. 1973 · Mid-range
Felmini is a Portuguese footwear brand founded by Joaquim Moreira in Felgueiras in 1973. It began with children’s shoes, the name combines “Fel” from Felgueiras and “mini” for children, before moving into women’s footwear in 1975. Today, its collections include boots, ankle boots, sandals, sneakers and other casual shoes, with wide-fit and barefoot options appearing in its online shop.
Colour and leather finishing give Felmini its recognisable look. The company hand dip-dyes shoes at its factory using its own pigment blends, creating variations in tone and a worn-in effect. Its designs pair that craft with contemporary, often relaxed silhouettes. The brand is produced by J. Moreira, the Portuguese footwear company behind Felmini, and is sold through its own shop and retailers in several countries.
Shoppers outside Portugal should check delivery eligibility before ordering: Felmini’s online shop currently accepts delivery addresses in European Union member countries. Its product pages are the best place to confirm the fit and materials of a particular style.
Zouri
Portugal · Est. 2017 · Mid-range
Zouri is a Portuguese vegan footwear brand developed from Adriana Mano’s idea of turning plastic collected on the country’s beaches into shoe components. The project began in 2017. It works with local institutions, volunteers and environmental groups on coastal cleanups, then combines recovered plastic with other materials in its footwear.
The range includes sneakers, sandals and espadrilles. Materials depend on the model and can include organic cotton, linen, hemp, cork or plant-based alternatives. Zouri’s official site describes production in Portugal and says a pair comes with information about its materials, the collected plastic and the people involved in making it. That product-level detail is useful for shoppers assessing the brand’s environmental claims.
Zouri sells directly through its website, where shoppers can filter styles by footwear type and material. Check the listing for the composition and properties of a specific pair: a sneaker described as water-resistant, for example, should not be assumed to make the entire range suitable for wet weather. The company’s website lists its contact location in Braga, Portugal.
Kumi Sneakers
Spain · Est. 2020 · Mid-range
KUMI Sneakers is a Spanish vegan footwear brand started in 2020 by Alexandra Pardo and Sergio Carvajal. Alexandra is from Mallorca and Sergio from Veracruz, Mexico; they developed the project together after settling in Barcelona. Their aim was to make casual sneakers without animal-derived materials, using recycled components and Spanish footwear production.
KUMI’s sneakers are handcrafted in small batches by a family-run factory in Elche. The brand identifies recycled materials in its shoes and describes its range as animal-free. It also lists PETA-Approved Vegan and Global Recycled Standard among its credentials. These details make KUMI relevant to shoppers comparing vegan sneakers who want to know where a pair is made and what materials it uses. Its Hygge/22 model is designed as an everyday sneaker.
The official website currently advertises a final clearance sale and says those purchases cannot be returned or exchanged. It also warns that Hygge/22 runs small and recommends going up one size. Shoppers should check current stock and the terms shown at checkout before ordering.
