Our Commitment to Social Responsibility:

At Sampla, we believe that true craftsmanship begins with respect for the people, the process, and the planet. Our shoes are not just designed in Ireland, they are crafted and brought to life in Europe by skilled artisans working in workshops, not sweatshops.

We are proud to partner with a small, family-owned workshop nestled in the suburbs of Braga, Portugal. Here, traditional craftsmanship is honoured, and each pair of shoes is a testament to the artistry that has been passed down through generations.

For us, social responsibility isn’t just a value, it’s a promise. We ensure that everyone involved in the creation of our shoes earns a fair wage and works in a comfortable, respectful environment with humane working hours. The intimacy of our small-scale production allows us to forge personal relationships with the artisans, ensuring that each pair of shoes is crafted with care, precision, and a dedication to quality.

At Sampla, we are not only creating shoes that last, we are supporting the communities and traditions that make them possible. This is our commitment to you, and to the world we share.
