What to know about Tretorn
Tretorn is a Swedish footwear label that started in Helsingborg in 1891 making rubber galoshes for farmers working in wet weather. Its signature model is the Nylite, a low-profile canvas tennis shoe introduced in 1967 and identified by the brand's arrow emblem, worn on court by professionals and later adopted as a preppy wardrobe staple. Rubber rain boots and weatherproof outerwear round out the range. Since a 2019 rework, sneakers use locally sourced canvas, recycled ocean-net fabric and plant-based materials.
How Tretorn fits
Overall fit
true to size
Tretorn canvas sneakers generally fit true to size with a slim, low-profile last that runs narrow, so wide-footed wearers may find them snug.
Tip: Order your normal size, but if you're between sizes or have wider feet consider sizing up half a size.
