"In 1891, Tretorn was founded by Johan Dunker in Helsingborg, Sweden, setting the stage for one of the most enduring success stories born from the late industrial revolution. 
Soon after the company's beginning, Johan Dunker's son, Henry, is hired at the age of 21 as the company’s only salesman to get the infant company off the ground. Later, he inherits the company and builds the company Tretorn, as we know it today.
Dunker’s company produces 39,000 pairs of galoshes in 1892. Just two years later, the number rises to 206,000.
1,000,000th rubber boot manufactured at Helsinborgs Gummifabriks AB on February 18, 1896.
Besides galoshes, many other items were manufactured in 1902 such as hoses, bicycle pedals, and balls.
To his “extended family” of Tretorn employees, which reaches 325 in 1911, Dunker offers free health care.
In 1938, Sweden introduces legislation that gave workers 14 days of vacation. Henry Dunker sets up a vacation fund...
In 1955, Tretorn submits the patent for the permanent pressure ball.
Björn Borg rushes onto the tennis scene with Tretorn tennis balls and rackets in the 60's.
In the 80's, Tretorn's classic sneaker, the Nylite, makes its way into fashion culture with its inclusion in The Preppy Handbook. Additionally, Tretorn introduces the Skerry, a rubber boot intended for the boat...
In 1998, Tretorn makes tennis history yet again with the introduction of the Micro X, the first tennis ball featuring Micro-Cell technology.
The Henry and Gerda Dunker Foundation manages Dunker’s funds in 2010 so that it may continue to donate to Helsingborg.
For over 120 years, Tretorn has built a reputation for superior quality, function and innovation.
Tretorn Nylite was first launched 1967. The white shoe with the dark blue "wing" was considered the first "luxurious" sports shoe ever. In 2012, it was re-borne in eight new colors."

The Rubber Boots can be tightened via grey bootlaces.

An extra pair of black bootlaces comes with the Tretorn Rubber Boots.

A Tretorn Logo is on the Back of the Rubber Boot.

And another Tretorn Logo is on the side of the boot shaft.

Review: I think the Tretorn Sofiero Rubber Boots are fantastic! They have a really nice fit around my feet as their shape allows a lot of freedom around the foot. Thus, there is enough space for wearing warm socks during winter. Also the profile of the outsole allows for the boots to have a better grip in the snow or in the mud which I find especially important when walking a dog. It is also nice that the boot shaft can be tightened via bootlaces and it is very generous of Tretorn to include a spare pair of bootlaces. Furthermore, next to many other rubber boots I have had, the Tretorn Sofiero Rubber Boots' upper is made out of very thick rubber which makes these rubber boots very sturdy and longlasting.
Even though I have the Tretorn Rubber Boots in black I also like the other colours; red, green, pink, and especially grey.
The delivery of the Tretorn Sofiero Rubber Boots was very fast considering they came all the way from Sweden!
Overall, I am more than happy with the Tretorn Sofiero Rubber Boots. They are very usable not only for rainy days, but also in the snow and mud. Thus, the Tretorn Sofiero Rubber Boots are great for walking your dog in all sorts of weather conditions while allowing you to keep grip. For me they are perfect Rubber Boots for dog owners!
