Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Tretorn.
Founded by Henry Dunker at the end of the 19th century in Sweden, Tretorn was an innovator in footwear from the moment it was launched. Having built up a reputation for dependability and discreet luxury with its iconic rubber boots, Tretorn was also the first company to launch the pressureless tennis ball.

The company's association with life on and off court rapidly created something of a cult following surrounding the brand, a status which was firmly secured when Wimbledon winners took to the grass in Tretorn in the 1970s. Inspired by the high profile and success of the brand, Tretorn's canvas and leather Nylites were the only shoe in which to be seen wearing on North American campuses throughout the 1980s. Lean and understated, the Tretorn sneaker was the first luxury sports shoe on the market.

Tretorn’s expertise in rubber-made products demonstrates a consistent commitment to quality and brand over hype, offering a collection most appreciated by those with a practical sensibility and a lifestyle largely enjoyed outside. Because Tretorn celebrates a lifestyle, largely lived outside, Tretorn ensures that labor is not exploited and the production methods are continuously revised for the good of the consumers and the environment. This commitment to sustainability and safe products is embodied in their PVC-Free policy for all of Tretorn men's shoes and Tretorn women's shoes. It is a business practice for which Tretorn is widely recognized as industry leaders.

I've been wearing these shoes for more than 30 years! Love the comfort and the fact that you can toss them into the wash and they come out clean without losing their shape. Caution, I wear a 9 in everything, but a 9.5 in this shoe. You may need a half size larger, particularly if you plan to wash and dry them.

Really disappointing. I loved these as a kid, and they are nothing like they used to be. Run extremely small. But the really disappointing part is how cheaply made they now are. Gone is the wonderful terry cloth lining and substantial fabric of the shoe. Returned right away.

I have worn Tretorns since the early 70s. At the time they were the absolute best for comfort, padding and durability. Now, I still wear them because, unfortunately, they are the best available. Interior padding is very lacking, and I miss the terry collar around the top of the shoe. They are still comfortable for knock around shoes, and look okay. Shame that even the really good companies have to cut corners. I would pay more to have the originals back.

I wore these as a kid, and then for many years wore the major tennis shoe brands. I've recently gone back to these to solve some support issues with my foot and ankle muscles. Wearing these along with the 5-finger shoes fixed my foot issues in a matter of weeks. It did the trick. These are so comfortable too. Good all-around soft tennis sneaker. Great for walking too. Love the classic design as well. Thanks for carrying these!

This Tretorn canvas shoe is the classiest sneaker around today. It isn't clunky yet it has all the comforts one would expect in a sneaker. I would suggest ordering your normal size. It is a true-to-fit sneaker.

I'd also recommend: Asics

I always loved the fit and feel of these tennis shoes. They are impossible to find until Zappos. Thanks for keeping my 80 year old feet comfortable!
