Unisa is a Spanish footwear brand internationally renowned. Its designs are mainly known for comfort and for the quality of the materials used, that is the reason why a large amount of women trust and seek for the brand; it’s a company that adapts fashion to modern women’s lifestyle and comfort.

The idea of founding UNISA is born in Spain in the 70’s. Although formerly conceived as only a footwear export company, not too long after the launching, the company evolves into a woman footwear manufacturer company as well, covering Spain and the rest of Europe. This happens thanks to the meeting of two businessmen: Carlos Musso and Antonio Porta. Their experience including footwear factory management in Elda and brands launching and supported also by their familiar background, the two businessmen lay the foundations for exportation in Europe. Elda becomes the cornerstone of all operations.

Musso, Porta and their team begin hiring designers from all over the world, who share their same taste and product philosophy, this contributing to get always a fresh and multicultural collection. The brand, founded on multiculturalism, cares for this aspect as a valued treasure.

In 1989, the opportunity arises to found Unisa Europa as an independent brand from the American one. The first solely European collection is created, more in accordance with the Old World taste. Unisa Europa looks for a more refined and original character. It is first distributed together with other big brands. The product is especially well received by the German and French markets, and begins to be well-known all over Europe. Ever since that moment, the plan for commercial expansion has no limits; the collections, mainly produced in Spain, increase their sales dramatically and find their space in the best European multi-brand boutiques.

Unisa’s main commitment is comfort. Everyday, the company’s lab experiment with shoes to be more comfortable, lighter and with better fitted lasts, to make shoes that are trendy and functional at the same time; a match between footwear technology and fashion.
Unisa designs for a professional, modern woman, who cares for appearance but needs and all-day shoe; a shoe to walk on the street, attend a meeting, get on the subway and end the day at a party or a romantic date. In order to get so, Unisa uses and implements one of the features of high quality sport shoes: TPU soles. Advantages are countless; non- slipping, perfect to walk on rainy weather, light, resistant, flexible in any weather conditions and prevents electrostatic. Even platform shoes are approached as a new concept thanks to the flexibility of Tpu.

QUALITY CONTROL Lots of styles and materials arrive at the “footwear lab” at the head office in Elda continuously, and from this source all shoes are produced. The most important raw material for shoe manufacturers, leather, comes from the best Italian, Spanish and Indian suppliers, and it’s the result of a thorough research on the best quality leather in the world. Prototypes are continuously tested on resistance and flexibility and are not approved until their quality and comfort have been proved.
