A Norwegian student is strolling the rainy streets of Manhattan wearing grandpa’s old galoshes. That's where it started...

SWIMS is a modern Scandinavian brand that was founded in Oslo, Norway in 2006 and breathed new life into the almost-forgotten galosh.

The SWIMS DNA is built on the idea of redefining and improving. We approach the world with optimism and confidence. Influenced by our Scandinavian heritage we believe that its fully possible to enjoy life while acting and creating responsibly. We strongly believe we should respect each other, all things living and our blue planet.
