Wayz is a sneaker brand born in Porto, Portugal, but its true roots run deeper—into a belief that every step can be a conscious one. Founded by Pedro Maçana and Daniel Gonçalves, Wayz was crowdfunded into existence by a community of sneaker lovers who wanted more than just style: they wanted substance. Every pair is designed, sourced, and crafted within 70 kilometers of Porto, using vegetable-tanned leather, recycled rubber, and recycled cotton—materials that speak to both quality and responsibility. Wayz partners with local, family-owned ateliers, ensuring fair wages, safe conditions, and a human touch in every stitch. Transparency isn’t a buzzword here: from price breakdowns to life cycle analyses, Wayz opens its process for all to see. The result is a sneaker that feels timeless—built to last, repairable, and made for journeys long after trends fade. For those who want to walk their own way, Wayz offers more than shoes; it offers a path toward a more authentic, sustainable life.
