Bota de Vilão

These boots were worn for many years by a large part of the Madeiran population due to their durability, resistance and being waterproof. This allowed them to travel long distances.

Nowadays the “villain boot” is more used by folk groups, however, there are several creative versions that give it a more contemporary and modern look.

Its production is becoming increasingly scarce, however, you can witness this process in one of the existing factories in the city of Funchal.
