Overview of Tretorn

It all started back in 1891 when the Dunker’s founded the Tretorn rubber factory and began to make rubber boots. Tretorn translates to “three towers,” named after the castle-like factory the brand originally used. 

Throughout the next century, the Scandinavian company swiftly adjusted to the times, moving from boots, to sneakers, to protective workwear, and eventually to rain apparel. 

As sports rose in popularity, the company created their first sneakers in 1900. With tennis now on the agenda, tennis balls followed suit in 1902. 

In the 1950s, Tretorn was making 7 million boots a year, and over the next five decades would work with various designers and organizations like Katja of Sweden. The brand even created the official sneaker of the Swedish Olympic team. 

Fast forward to today, the brand has collaborated with the likes of Acne, Andre 3000, and Comme des Garçon. 

Now that you know more about the quality behind the Tretorn 3 towers logo, this Tretorn shoes review will take a quick look at their highlights: 

Highlights

• Wide variety of trendy outdoor apparel, shoes, and bags
• Backed by 130 years of experience
• Celebrity-loved (notably by Reese Witherspoon and Kanye West)
• The brand has collaborated with top designers for trendy, modern pieces
• Carries an outerwear collection of raincoats made from recycled fishing nets to bring awareness to ghost nets in the ocean
• Positive customer reviews on quality

What Are Tretorn Shoes?

Tretorn shoes have a long history. As a rubber company, the brand started by making rubber boots for Scandinavian farmers in 1896. They soon began to dabble in sneakers, tennis balls, and protective workwear boots. Today, the brand makes stylish, comfortable shoes.

Are Tretorns Good For Walking?

Over the years Tretorn has developed many different types of shoes. Their tennis shoes are particularly good for movement on the court, and the brand has created a variety of active shoes suitable for casual everyday wear. 

Tretorn sneakers are cushioned and light, a combination that makes them the perfect walking shoe. 

The brand started as a shoe company, but they’ve become a well-known name in the world of fashion. With their outdoorsy vibe, Tretorn’s apparel is true to their roots, as the brand specializes in raincoats and other outdoor gear.

Tretorn Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

You’ve read about the many jacket options that the brand has for men and women, but now you’re wondering what they’re really like. Fear not, for this Tretorn shoes review will showcase helpful customer reviews to shed some light on the matter. 

Ahead, you’ll find feedback sourced from Outdoor Gear Lab, Zappos, and Amazon, all highlighting a range of Tretorn shoes and apparel. We do note that the official Tretorn website does not offer customer reviews.

Outdoor Gear Lab rated the Tretorn Strala Boot 3.9/5 stars.

The author noted that these Tretorn boots are loved by many for their fashion-forward approach, writing that the “sleek look is complemented by significant comfort.” So far, so good, looks and comfort are a match made in heaven. 

He went on to say that though comfortable and lightweight, the Strala Boot has little in terms of “traction and water resistance metrics.” 

The water resistance score is so low because of the ankle height of these boots, but this type of boot is perfect for shallow city puddles. 

The Tretorn Nylite women’s sneakers have a 4.5/5 stars rating awarded by 223 customers on Zappos. 

74% of Zappos reviews gave the sneakers a perfect 5/5 stars rating.

Happy buyers write about the comfort of these Tretorn women’s sneakers and note that they run true to size. One comment reads, “The support is nice, the interior soft (still lined with terrycloth), and they look great.” Sounds like a good, all-around shoe. 

The Tretorn Wings Rainjacket has a 4/5 stars rating from 44 customers on Amazon. For the most part, women love the style and quality of this jacket, as well as its price on Amazon. 

One commenter puts it simply: “it’s great, just what I needed and excellent price!” The Wings Rainjacket is a fairly simple coat with smart features that get the job done, so this review is not surprising.

According to reviews, quality and comfort are never a question with this brand. Things like fit and style are personal preferences, but there was nothing that this Tretorn shoes review will treat as a real complaint. 

Is Tretorn Worth It?

Tretorn has been around a long time. Some say the acquisition by Puma changed the way things were done, but according to customers, the quality never failed. This may be because Puma themselves are a quality shoe company and know how to make a good-looking sneaker. 

Is Tretorn a good brand? We think so, and we appreciate that it has made a shift to use recycled materials in their apparel, as well as raising awareness of cruel fishing practices. 

They also have quality products and good-looking styles, two other reasons why Tretorn is a good brand and their products are worth the buy.
