The name WODEN stands for Works of Denmark. 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. It’s not just about creating another sneaker. We care to meet and match the demands of women and kids on the go. We do that by focusing on craftsmanship, functionality and that perfect fit. WODEN is designed to last and crafted to be worn all day long.
“Ever since WODEN was just a simple idea and some raw sketches made by hand I have known that the brand would be value driven. Some saw it as an obstacle, but for me it has always been a key motivator.
My journey has had its bumps along the way and after almost two decades in the shoemaking business I know that I can always do better. Today, that approach is the essence of WODEN and I am proud to have shown that it works.”
