ABOUT ONIX

Born in 1991.
Built for the future.

Our family has been connected to footwear since the 1960s. ONIX was founded in 1991 in Friande, Felgueiras, with a straightforward purpose: make quality footwear with honesty, commitment and respect.

We grew from a strong heritage in water-resistant snow boots and evolved to manufacture different categories of footwear for clients around the world.
