The Paw Collection is designed to honour threatened species and raise awareness of their vulnerability. With playful, vibrant animal prints on their feet, little explorers can support at-risk creatures while running off to their next adventure.

The Perfect Fit

At Viking, our priority is crafting products of the highest quality, using the best available technologies. In footwear, achieving the perfect fit is at the heart of our work, and we’re proud to bring in new insights that set a higher standard for Viking shoes.

Collaboration with Volumental

Through a partnership with Swedish 3D foot-scanning technology Volumental, we back our fit development with real data from Scandinavian children’s feet. This data-driven approach allows us to fine-tune widths and grading across sizes, bringing every new Viking style closer to a truly perfect fit.

Feel the exploration

The Paw Collection styles are all crafted With Viking's Barefoot-fit, mimicking the natural feeling of walking barefoot. With a flexible, thin, and flat outsole these shoes let kids feel the ground beneath their feet. An extra-wide toe box allows the toes to spread without restriction, while soft, flexible materials ensure all-day comfort.

Inspired by nature

The collection draws inspiration from nature and celebrate the beauty of wildlife, with designs aimed at raising awareness of endangered species.

With this collection the kids can explore the unknown with their favourite animal on their feet.

ATLANTIC PUFFIN

It might shock some people to hear that the Atlantic puffin may soon be completely gone from Norway considering the fact that they appear to be everywhere you look when visiting Svalbard. However, the rate at which they are disappearing has earned them a spot on the endangered list.
Although there are still approximately 10 million adult Atlantic puffins in the world, they are expected to lose over half of their population by the year 2065. That is why various groups are looking at ways to try and slow the decline of the population by fighting off the biggest threats of industrial pollution and hunting.

POOL FROG

The very southern tip of Norway is home to the last few pool frogs which once covered a large portion of Southern Norway. They have now been reduced to only three small spawning sites in Aust-Agder county, with less than 70 adult pool frogs present in the area. In order to try to counteract the declining population of pool frogs in Norway, international organizations are slowly introducing frogs from other countries to the remaining population to grow their numbers.

GOOSE

Although the lesser white-fronted goose tends to breed in Northern Asia, there used to be a significant population scattered throughout northern Europe as well. While there used to be hundreds of them in Norway alone, there is now estimated to be only around 500 adult lesser white-fronted geese in all of Europe. Thankfully, they are being bred in captivity and then selectively reintroduced throughout Europe to grow the population.

FLAMINGO

The Andean Flamingo is endemic to the Andes Mountains and is among the rarest waterbird species on the planet. Although seemingly out of place in the barren landscape of the high Andes, three of the six flamingo species on the planet (Andean, Puna, and Chilean Flamingos) breed exclusively in high Andean lakes. In particular, the Andean Flamingo (Phoenicoparrus andinus) is among the rarest of all flamingo species and listed as Vulnerable (i.e., with a “high risk of endangerment in the wild”) by the IUCN Species Survival Commission.
