Experience the Evolution of Women's Footwear
At Madre, we stand for shoes that let women step forward with confidence, elegance, and most importantly, comfort. Since 2013, our collections have grown from humble beginnings in a packed photography studio to a trusted brand across Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore.
Founder Adha Izhan started Madre with just RM4,000 and a studio overflowing with stock. Navigating sizing challenges, DIY parcel drops around Seri Kembangan, and packing each order by hand sometimes up to 50 parcels a day he found strength in every setback.
The brand name “Madre” (Spanish for “mother”) is not just a name, it is a tribute to Adha’s mother, who urged him to pivot from photography into a scalable product business. Her unwavering belief kept him going when doubts rose.

At Madre, we’re not just selling shoes, we’re empowering women to stand tall with comfort and purpose.
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. It’s hard to balance everything. It’s always challenging. My relationships with producers or photographers – these are relationships that took years. I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass. My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don’t need to do that any more. I don’t really know how to do casual clothes.
