Democrata Calçados, founded by businessman Urias Cintra, is one of the biggest brands of men's leather shoes in Brazil. With a passion for shoemaking and an entrepreneurial instinct, Urias started the company in 1983 with less than 10 pairs of shoes. Today, Democrata has two factories in Ceará that produce 12,000 pairs a day, with 30% of them being exported.

Democrata has always been at the forefront of innovation in the footwear industry. They were pioneers in producing men's shoes with comfort soles and developed the exclusive Air technology, which incorporates air bubbles to reduce impact while walking. Their Garage line, which brings a new twist to combat boots and heavy boots, has been a huge success since its launch.

The brand's commitment to quality and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends has made Democrata a reference in the industry. They have been exporting their shoes to over 60 countries since 2006, including Latin America, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. With a dedicated workforce of 2,100 employees, Democrata continues to provide high-quality footwear for consumers worldwide.
