tretorn skerry rubber boots were designed for sailing, but are well suited for city adventures - as we've all witnessed in victoria's rainy months (see: september through july). the 100% waterproof natural rubber boots are pvc free with a matte finish, nylon pull tab, microfleece lining, removable eco ortholite insole and a gum rubber outsole. we have exciting spring colour options for our still life ladies in the tretorn skerry and the tall tretorn skerry reslig, and colour options for our still life men in the tretorn skerry and the low tretorn strala.

there are beautiful days in this fair city when barefoot strolls along the warm sandy beaches of dallas road can take up your entire afternoon... and for all the other, significantly wetter days of the year, there's tretorn rubber boots - always available at still life.

a couple of spring styles from the legendary swedish outdoor brand tretorn have arrived at still life this week. additional sizing in both the navy and the yellow skerry rainboot back in stock on the women's side to keep our girls' feet warm & dry. making their triumphant return to still life are both the strala sommar men's shortie rain boot in black with grey and a full men's sizing run in the classic skerry rain boot in olive green. though the styles carried at still life from tretorn are most oft worn during the autumn/winter months, the thinly lined skerry & strala sommar styles arriving this week will keep you dry in the great outdoors right through the spring & summer on the wet west coast.

in 1891 tretorn was founded by henry dunker in helsingborg, sweden, setting the stage for one of the most enduring success stories born from the late industrial revolution. dunker's devotion to both business and his "extended family" of employees is legendary. well ahead of his time, he offered his work force free health care and instituted day-care and a kindergarten on-site. not surprisingly, this foundation of good will and good work continues to bear impressive results.

rich in heritage, tretorn's past is important to what the brand is today. from the early days as a tire maker to its glory days as the shoe of choice for avid tennis players, the past provides an authentic framework for everything that defines tretorn. and it is with this foundation that tretorn ensures its commitment to high quality rubber manufacturing for generations to come.

our sell through on tretorn is always exciting and fast. heading into the last weekend before school starts for 2010 we were thrilled to see boxes & boxes of tretorn boots come through the doors at still life this morning. we're offering our girls two styles to head back to school with: the classic skerry vinter in a sassafrass brown (more burgandy than brown) as well as the beautiful and tall skerry reslig in an autumnal olive. still open until 8pm on fridays we'll be open regular store ours throughout the long weekend.
