HIGH QUALITY AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
Wayz sneakers are crafted with a strong commitment to sustainability, using high-quality, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced and local materials:
- Locally Sourced Vegetable tanned leather – Responsibly sourced leather from certified suppliers for a lower carbon footprint.
- Recycled Rubber Soles - Durable, flexible, great traction and repairable.
- Vegetable tanned leather lining and insoles – Made from breathable, hypoallergenic and very comfortable crust leather.
Every material is carefully chosen to ensure durability, comfort, and style—without compromising on ethics or the planet.
LOCAL SUPPLIERS AND GREAT KNOW HOW
At Wayz, we keep it close to home—designing, sourcing, and producing our sneakers locally. Every component is sourced and crafted within a 70 km radius of Porto, Portugal.
This proximity gives us a unique advantage. We maintain strong relationships with our suppliers, collaborate closely to refine materials and designs, and ensure the highest quality in every pair we make.
More than that, it significantly reduces our ecological footprint. By keeping production local, we eliminate the need for unnecessary global transportation, ensuring our sneakers reach you with minimal environmental impact.

DESIGNED TO BE REPAIRABLE
Wayz sneakers are designed with repairability in mind, extending their lifespan and reducing waste. Here’s how:
- Durable, replaceable Outsoles – The stitched construction allows worn-out soles to be replaced, keeping your sneakers functional for years.
- High-Quality Materials – We use premium, long-lasting materials that can withstand wear and be refreshed over time.
- Repair & Refurbishment Program – Through our Wayz 2nd Life initiative, we offer repair services to give sneakers a second life, whether it’s resoling, reinforcing, or deep cleaning.
- Sustainable Mindset – Instead of discarding worn sneakers, we encourage conscious ownership—repairing and reusing to minimize waste and make the most of every pair.
By designing for repairability, Wayz sneakers aren’t just made to last they’re made to evolve with you.
