About the brand

Tretorn is a Swedish heritage brand founded in 1891 in Helsingborg by the Dunker family, originally as a rubber factory producing galoshes for Scandinavian farmers. What began as functional footwear to protect against harsh Nordic weather evolved into a globally recognized lifestyle brand. Tretorn holds the distinction of being the second-oldest sneaker manufacturer in the world, launching their first rubber-soled sneaker in 1900. The brand pioneered innovations including the world's first luxury tennis sneakers and has been supplying the Swedish Royal Court since 1915. Today, Tretorn embodies Scandinavian design principles where functionality meets timeless style, creating durable products that withstand Nordic conditions without compromising aesthetics. The brand maintains strong sustainability commitments through their Eco Essentials Initiative launched in 2016, using responsibly sourced materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. From classic canvas sneakers to iconic rubber boots, Tretorn continues to blend over 130 years of craftsmanship with contemporary innovation, staying true to their Scandinavian roots.

The Mom Edit

Tretorn sneakers were founded in Sweden in 1891, and it shows…they're pure Scandinavian simplicity. Like Stan Smiths, Tretorn's tennis sneakers have that clean, simple shape with a pop of color that just works with so much more than you might think. It's such a timeless style, yet they still sit somewhere between retro and modern-looking with a bit of preppy thrown in... The price point and comfort is great, too.

Comfy from day one! Lots of style detail, and top notch materials. They will be easy to keep clean with the smooth leather and the rubber gum base. Perfect shoes for almost every occasion.

These boots are great quality. I ordered my usual size 4 and can wear them with lovely thick winter socks. I have a slightly wide foot but these boots are roomy with great arch support, cushioned and comfy.

A really beautifully made and versatile pair of boots that feel great quality, and that they'll last. I have awkward feet and these are really comfortable, perfect for throwing on to go out in the garden or for the nursery run on wet days as they don't look like wellies.

The Tretorns I have are the absolute best sneakers/tennis shoes I've ever had. I like that they're low profile, and I've worn them for 8+ hours walking 25,000+ steps at amusement parks and Comic-Cons with absolutely ZERO pain in my feet/legs.

I bounced around Disneyland for eight hours, taking 20,000 steps... without aches, pains, or dreaded blisters. Because my feet were happy, I was able to shop, run, and play to the fullest. Best of all, it didn't take countless wears to break them in. Instead, the Tretorn Rawlins Sneakers were comfortable from the moment I put them on.

These aren't the same quality Tretorns from the 80s and 90s. The current version feels like a cheaper reproduction of the original design. While they look great and work fine for casual, short-term wear, I wouldn't recommend them for serious walking or if you need good foot support.

Sizing problems: They run large and wide. I had to return my first pair and go down half a size.

Costco Wholesale

Purchased in store and have worn less than 5 times. I noticed today that the shoe is extremely poorly made and the heel is separating. I will be returning on my next Costco trip.

The shoes look great, but the toe box is pretty narrow. I ordered a half size up and it's still a little tight. Also, on the second wear, I noticed and odd hard spot on the inner sole, near the ball of the foot.

Today I noticed that the tops of them are cracking right where my foot bends and I can see through to my sock, meaning they're no longer waterproof. My husband had the same problem with his Tretorn rain boots, but after only a couple of months. While the style is nice, they apparently are not very good quality.

When I bought them again, I'm pretty sure I got either knockoffs or the production quality significantly decreased since the first time because the two times I've been able to get a second pair, they were women's sizes and they were HORRIBLE.
