Rutz

Uniquely Portuguese, Rutz sells footwear for men and women crafted entirely from cork. Stock is surprisingly eclectic, and includes several varieties of boot, Chelsea and Oxford high heel, classic pointed toe, moccasin, loafer and brogue. Seasonal collections enhance the range. Colours are in keeping with Nature – olive green, cinnamon-brown, black, burgundy and beige, among other earthy hues. Portugal is the largest manufacturer of cork in the world and this versatile raw material, which is light and totally eco-friendly, is also extremely comfortable to "wear". It's also incredibly waterproof. The store, located in the city's trendy LX Factory complex, also sells a selection of cork handbags.
