- About Us
PRODUCING COMFORTABLE SHOES, BASED ON FINE LASTS, TOP QUALITY MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP - This is our heritage and purpose.
OUR VISION
Klaveness, a Scandinavian footwear brand with unique solutions that targets specific needs.
OUR MISSION
Providing quality footwear - through innovation and craftsmanship, creating ultimate value for users, customers and employees.
According to our philosophy, footwear should adapt to the foot and not the opposite. Therefore, designers and orthopaedic specialists thoroughly assist our product development, whose collaboration creates products that fulfil both aesthetic and functional criteria. We involve the medical staff in our research to improve the products and to gather feedback from patients.
We also aim to be a total supplier. Our goal is to create a wide diversity of products that will serve most of our customers needs.

MEDICAL ::
This collection is made specifically for those who can't find that particular shoe in standard mass-produced stores or who look for added comfort and flexibility. Medical and Rehabilitation shoes are based on special lasts and made from the finest materials, so your feet can have absolute well-being.
REHABILITATION ::
Specifically for prevention, rehabilitation and treatment, this range includes many styles and different features, so you can find the pair of shoes that matches your needs. Our goal is to give the most comfort, regardless of the medical condition.
CUSTOM-MADE FOOTWEAR ::
With the customer at the very centre of the process, this hand-made personalized footwear category offers the best variety for ones with therapeutic or extensive orthopaedic demands, or those with specific aesthetical desires.
Based on any Klaveness style or customers own designs, we build each shoe(s) according to taste, shape, size or any other particular needs of the wearer's foot, without neglecting style.
We are the most skilled to blend in these modifications so that they are discreet.
If necessary, footbeds can also be customized according to individual needs, to help manage conditions that can cause pain or discomfort during walking, running and everyday activities.

We execute all stages of footwear design and production, from the development of lasts to complete finishing of shoes.
All Klaveness products offer style, endurance, functionality and comfort, from heel to toe. We pay close attention to every design detail, from the selection of lasts to anatomical footbeds, to ensure a perfect fit. High-quality materials are carefully chosen to be both durable and delicate against your skin. Thoroughly handcrafted details often enhance the quality of our products.


Our head office is in Sandefjord (Norway). We have sales offices in Jyväskylä (Finland) and Strömstad (Sweden). The distribution centre is in Porto (Portugal) together with our wholly-owned production facility.
Our most significant success has been Scandinavia, with Norway and Sweden being the main markets. However, more recently, Finland has also grown to become a high-interest market.
We continuously seek to conquer new strategic business fields, markets and target groups.
