Shoemaking for eleven years in Belém

I've worked in shoemaking from 2014 to 2025. I learned from my older brother and passed what I could on to 560 apprentices.
The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 22 years later for another job.
More about João
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
Crafts and trades
What gifts mean to João: A gift would go toward tools for apprentices who can't afford their own.
