About Us
We are a Scandinavian family-owned footwear company with unique solutions that target specific needs.
Our mission is to provide quality footwear through innovation and craftsmanship, creating ultimate value for users, customers and employees.
According to our philosophy, footwear should adapt to the foot, not the other way around. Therefore, designers and orthopaedic specialists thoroughly assist our product development, thereby creating products that fulfil both aesthetic and functional criteria. We also involve the medical staff in our research to improve the products and gather patient feedback.
In addition, we aim to be a total supplier, creating a wide range of products that meet most of our customers' needs.
KLAVENESS BOARD MEMBERS
Klaveness board is constituted by Bjarte Røyrvik (Chairman), Bjørn Klaveness and Mina Klaveness.
We develop, produce and distribute the following collections:
INDIVIDUAL
This collection offers fully custom-made footwear for anyone with therapeutic needs, orthopaedic requirements, or unique style preferences. Whether you choose from our designs or bring your own ideas, we'll build each shoe to perfectly match your foot shape, size, and specific requirements. Our craftsmanship ensures all modifications blend seamlessly for a discreet appearance.
MEDICAL
This collection uses specially designed lasts to accommodate wider feet and provide superior comfort. If you struggle to find shoes in regular stores or want footwear that feels better throughout your day, this collection is for you.
REHABILITATION
Designed specifically for prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment, this collection helps you regain or maintain mobility safely and comfortably.
FOLKLORE
For years, we've crafted high-quality bunadsko (traditional Norwegian costume shoes) for discerning customers who value authenticity. Our folklore shoes are the perfect complement to any bunad or festive dress, combining the beauty of national costume with exceptional foot comfort.
COMFORT
This collection brings together everything that matters for daily wear: perfect fit, lasting comfort, and timeless style. We combine premium materials with expert craftsmanship to create shoes you'll reach for every day.
SLIPPERS
Inspired by Nordic traditions and crafted from natural materials like wool felt, fur, and leather, our slippers feature a unique construction that delivers unmatched cosiness.
FOOT ORTHOTICS
We offer a complete range of custom-made foot orthotics, each tailored to your specific needs and designed to provide precise support that works in harmony with your shoes.
IF YOUR FEET HAD A CHOICE!
We execute all stages of footwear design and production, from the development of lasts to the 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 last selection to anatomical footbeds, to ensure a perfect fit. High-quality materials are carefully chosen to be 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 and our fully-owned production facility are in Porto (Portugal).
Our most significant success has been in 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.
