SNEAKERS WITH A GREENER FOOTPRINT
The name WODEN stands for Works of Denmark.
WODEN is a Scandinavian sneaker brand with a focus on Scandinavian design values, high-quality natural materials and great value for money. Staying true to our Scandinavian heritage has allowed us to focus on what really matters: creating durable quality sneakers with a simplistic design and a sustainable approach.
With the greatest respect for the environment, WODEN takes a sustainable approach: REDUCE. REUSE. RECYCLE. We want to be more than just a sneaker. We strive to constantly push the boundaries for how shoes can be constructed, focusing on giving our shoes a greener footprint. We have therefore replaced as many synthetic materials as possible with materials such as fish leather as the WODEN DNA, recycled polyester, recycled rubberin our outsoles and eco-friendly cork insoles.
We believe in products and people, which is why our shoes are designed with care and produced by passionate and talented people. Fashion, functionality and anatomy are essential elements of the WODEN DNA, ensuring that our sneakers are meticulously designed for urban life.
WODEN was established in 2013 by Carsten Holm, a shoemaker with along history in the shoe industry. He realized that nature and the Scandinavian design tradition combined with the DNA of the sneaker and high quality at a reasonable price would be the perfect foundation for creating a fashionable Scandinavian sneaker. Today, we call this Scandinavian Simplicity.
