Viking is a Norwegian brand specializing in outdoor footwear, particularly known for its durable and innovative boots designed for various outdoor activities. Founded on January 17, 1920, by Peter Mathias Røwde, the company initially produced galoshes to protect shoes from mud and water. Over the decades, Viking expanded its product range to include rubber boots, hiking boots, hunting boots, and more, catering to both children and adults. The brand has a strong presence in Norway and several other countries, offering products that combine quality, comfort, and modern design. In 2020, Viking celebrated its 100th anniversary, marking a century of contributing to Norwegian industrial history. The brand's commitment to innovation is evident in its use of advanced materials and technologies, such as GORE-TEX, to enhance product performance. Today, Viking operates under the ownership of Bertel O. Steen Holding, a Norwegian conglomerate with diverse business interests, including automotive, real estate, and technology sectors. Despite changes in ownership, Viking remains dedicated to enabling an active outdoor lifestyle for its customers, reflecting its enduring legacy in the footwear industry.
