We are using Same Porto Theme.

I recommend do not make changes in Porto Theme. Because they are upgrading their Versions. Once you upgrade to their latest version, your changes will be given.

So create your theme, by setting Porto as Parent.

magento\app\design\frontend\My\ThemeName\web\css\source\header.less
magento\app\design\frontend\My\ThemeName\web\css\source\footer.less

Magento 2: How to override Luma Theme Home Page

magento\app\design\frontend\My\theme_name\theme.xml

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>My Porto Child</title>
    <parent>Smartwave/porto</parent>
    <media>
        <preview_image>media/preview.png</preview_image>
    </media>
</theme>

At the End Run below commands

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:flush
chmod -R 777 var pub

    Actually you don't need to static-content:deploy content if you are in developer mode. Just clear the following directories and you'll be fine to go. Note: first website call will be slow: $ rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/* var/cache/* var/page_cache/* pub/static/*. NEVER forget the *, otherwise the important .htaccess gets deleted.

To override LUMA consider as parent theme you need to change theme.xml file in folllowing location :

app\design\frontend\vendor_name\theme_name\theme.xml

using below code

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
     <title>Your Theme name</title> <!-- your theme's name -->
     <parent>Magento/luma</parent> <!-- the parent theme, in case your theme inherits from an existing theme -->
     <media>
         <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image> <!-- the path to your theme's preview image -->
     </media>
 </theme>
