Viking^® Company was founded by Peter Mathias Rowde on January 17, 1920: on that day he opened a rubber factory in the small Norwegian city of Askim. From the first day, the Viking brand began to work in accordance with its mission – “promoting an active lifestyle”, making rubber shoes that can withstand the dampness and high humidity, which Norway’s climate is famous for.

These shoes became a bestseller, and in the 1930s, Viking^® became one of Norway's major shoe manufacturers.

After they had modernized the production and assembly lines in the 1940s and 50s, Viking^® opened several factories in the country. In 1992, Viking^® became the first shoe manufacturer to use one of the newest technologies – the GORE-TEX^® membrane. This opened up a whole new direction in the footwear production; Viking^® keeps using this technology today, being the largest buyer of GORE-TEX^® membranes.

Viking^®, a brand from Norway, is primarily focused on making reliable, fashionable, and functional footwear that should be both warm and as comfortable as possible.

The technologies used are: Gore-Tex^® membrane, UGC^® outsole tread designs, EVA insoles, etc. For 100 years, Viking^® has been a leader in quality and innovation, and is Norway's largest manufacturer of high-quality active lifestyle shoes providing comfort in difficult climatic conditions all around the world.
