We create a world where everyone can be an explorer.
At Viking we are proud of our long tradition and heritage. With more than 100 years of history we have gained solid knowledge, expertise and craftsmanship in developing high quality and functional shoes. It all dates back to 1920 when our founding father, Peter Mathias Røwde, started making rubber products to combat the harsh Norwegian climate. A few years later Viking boots were used by fishermen, foresters and all kinds of explorers. Since the beginning of time we have pushed through boundaries, discovered new paths and taken steps into unknown territories. Our product range has grown to satisfy more needs, while we still stay true to our founder’s initial idea.
Today you’ll find our products on both the highest mountains and in kindergartens. New materials and production methods have allowed us to create footwear that takes you even further. Our shoes are built to last. Quality is essential in everything we do. We aim to be your most trusted friend, and create a world where everyone can be an explorer.
Since the glamorous heyday of the 60's, and the opening of the first boutique in the legendary St Germain des Pres district in Paris in 1969, MAUD FRIZON has created sexy, unpredictable shoes, with heaps of personality.
Always feminine, often eccentric, MAUD FRIZON designs are recognizable by their coquettish extravagance. The woman who wears MAUD FRIZON revels in the knowledge that each pair of exquisite, dream-inspired stilettos, or exotic, bejewelled pumps, distinguishes her as a connoisseur of footwear.
MAUD FRIZON is also the brand worn by movie stars such as Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bardot and Sophie Marceau, and has created shoes for fashion designers AZZEDINE ALAIA, CLAUDE MONTANA and SONIA RYKIEL.
For all the women you are
Meet the MAUD FRIZON woman, a chic, feminine and mischievous personality, her feet elegantly wrapped in a pair of finely crafted high heel pumps. Watch her confidently stroll down the streets of Paris, Milan or New York. She does not follow style. She creates it.
