Mónica
My name is Mónica and I am 17 years old. I like to think that I am friendly and fun to be around. I grew up with my family in the Chelas neighbourhood, more specifically in the parish of Marvila, in Lisbon. Ever since I was a little girl, I had the drive to grow up fast and become independent. So, given my love of animals, I had this big dream of becoming a veterinarian one day. However, as I have grown older, I have discovered I really like to work with children so now my goal in life is to open a day care institution with my Aunt to help kids with their studies. I witnessed first hand that a bit of support can go a long way and I want to have that kind of impact in children's lives.
Co-creating my own sneakers was definitely a challenge. Once I decided on the style, my intention was to choose colours that illustrate negative and positive elements of my life. The black simbolizes the fear we all feel of losing someone close (unfortunately, I felt it already) and the blue simbolizes both the sea and the sky, the two things that calm me down the most when I am stressed.

Price Transparency
Transparency matters.That’s why we openly share the costs behind every pair of sneakers. While some elements -like design, testing, office rent and our team’s dedication— aren’t easy to put a number on, we believe you deserve a clear view of what goes into the sneakers you wear.

Returns are not possible if you choose to order two pairs or more in your order. In those cases, we reserve the right to only offer you one free exchange per pair or, at least, charge you for the return of the sneakers you have ordered and wish to return. As a brand that wants to try to produce only what it sells to have a minimal impact in the environment, we want to disincentivize those who order several pairs to see which one they like the most but always planned to keep only one.

I received a defective product. What should I do?
We guarantee the satisfaction of our customers. Therefore, if you feel that we have sent you a defective product, please notify us regarding the defect through support@diverge-
CARE:
Plain Leather: Apply a thin layer of leather balm and once it’s dry, gently brush to keep the finish of the leather always in good conditions. Opt for softer hog bristles to make sure you don’t damage your sneakers. A leather protector spray is also an option to consider.
Suede: Use a brush to gently remove any dirt or dust. Brush in the direction of the fabric’s grain to avoid damaging it. Dry stains can be removed by using a white or brown gum eraser. If it doesn't work we advise you to visit your local cobbler and get additional advice.
Nubuck: Nubuck cloths are the best option to remove dirt and shiny spots. Wipe in several directions using circular motions and make sure you cover the entire nap area.
Rubber Soles: Clean the dirt with a dampened cloth and carefully soak the sole in a mixture of water and dishwashing soap. Make sure you don’t soak the upper part! Use a toothbrush with the mixture to scrub your soles. Once it’s done, dry the sneakers using a cloth.
