Tarvas

Tarvas is a footwear label founded in Helsinki in 2017. Everything is designed in the city and made locally in Finland, and the brand ships worldwide. The idea is functional shoes and boots that suit the Nordic climate, with weather resistance and durability built in alongside a clean, refined look. The Explorer is the signature silhouette. Tarvas describes its footwear as suited to both city streets and natural landscapes, and stockists talk about a balance between rugged utility and refined minimalism. Look for the durable natural rubber mudguards and the premium European materials, all handcrafted with an eye on local quality and longevity. A sensible pick if you want boots that cope with weather without looking overly technical.
