Enjoy a guided tour of the Aurland Shoe factory in Aurland town centre and see how the original penny loafer is made. During the audio guided tour, you will learn about the tradition and craftsmanship of the Aurland Shoe and see the shoemakers in action.
The Aurland Shoe Économusée has attracted visitors who want to learn more about one of the few remaining Norwegian shoe manufacturers for years. Here you can hear (or read) the story behind the shoe factory, walk through the production premises where the shoemakers are at work and, not least, get an opportunity to shop for shoes or other great leather products to take home with you.
A visit to Aurland Shoe Factory is a great experience that stands out from what the traditional tourist asks for. You are guaranteed to have an interesting and unique experience!
Aurlands produces more than just shoes. Bags, belts and other accessories can today be found in the factory outlet. The products have a timeless design and are all of high quality.
