The story of Nokian Footwear began in 1898 with a simple but ambitious idea: to create high-quality rubber boots built specifically for the harsh realities of northern conditions. More than a century later, that same path guides us today. Our mission is to give people the freedom to enjoy the outdoors in any weather, without compromise.
Each pair of Nokian boots brings together generations of craftsmanship and the clean, purposeful lines of Finnish design. But what truly sets them apart is the unmatched experience we’ve gained from enduring Nordic weather—ensuring every boot delivers the durability, comfort, and usability you can rely on.
In North America, Revolution Supply is proud to be the official seller of Nokian Footwear, making this legacy of Finnish quality available to outdoor enthusiasts across the continent.
At the close of the 19th century, Finland’s weather was as unforgiving as it is today: cold, wet, and unpredictable. To meet the challenge, a group of entrepreneurs founded Suomen Gummitehdas Oy (Finnish Rubber Works Ltd) in Helsinki with a vision to create durable rubber footwear built for northern conditions. Their boots quickly won the hearts of Finns, and production later moved to the town of Nokia. Soon, the simple name Nokia became synonymous with trusted quality.
Over the decades, the product range expanded well beyond traditional boots — even into ski, bowling, and disco shoes. But as cheaper imports flooded the market in the 1990s, the company returned to its core strength: high-quality rubber boots. Nokian Tyres became its own company in 1988, and in 1990 Nokian Footwear Ltd was officially established. Meanwhile, the Nokia parent brand turned its focus to telecommunications, becoming a global leader.
In 2005, Nokian Footwear found a new home with Berner Ltd, a family-owned Finnish company. To this day, design, product development, and sales remain in Finnish hands, while manufacturing is carried out by trusted international partners. This seamless blend of local innovation and global craftsmanship has resulted in boots that are at once functional, stylish, and built to last.
Today, Nokian Footwear exports to 15 countries worldwide — from professional-grade boots and children’s wear to urban lifestyle collections — all carrying the unmistakable spirit of Finnish design and durability.
