Background. There are several studies focusing on different issues of innovation, however few of them study the footwear industry. With innovation being a key element for success, and while the Portuguese footwear industry enjoys a period of growth and international recognition (second most expensive in the world) it seems relevant to better understand the engagement of this industry with innovation. Research aims. This paper addresses the issue of innovation in the Portuguese footwear industry. Method. In order to develop this study data from the Community Innovation Survey (CIS) carried out in Portugal during the period 2008 to 2010 was used.

It was also verified that when companies adopt an innovation strategy, it is normally present in more than one dimension
