An outdoor shoe really fits when it does more than feel comfortable. It should support the way you move naturally. Women’s feet are not simply smaller versions of men’s feet. They often have a narrower heel, a different overall shape and, due to anatomy and movement patterns, specific requirements when it comes to hold, stability and comfort. This is exactly where the Viking Her Collection comes in. The women’s shoes from Viking were developed specifically for women and tested by women, so they feel more natural when walking, fit more precisely and support you just as reliably in everyday life as they do on easy outdoor adventures.
In this article, we show you what makes the Viking Her Collection special and which technologies are behind it.

What is the Viking Her Collection?
The Viking Her Collection is an outdoor footwear collection specifically tailored to the needs of women. The focus is on a precise fit, reliable support and a natural walking feel. Instead of simply offering existing models in smaller sizes, Viking developed the collection from the ground up for women. Female foot shapes, typical movement patterns and real feedback from field testing were all taken into account. The result is a range of Viking women’s shoes that combines comfort and stability, taking you from everyday life to your next outdoor adventure.
Developed using data and real-world testing
To make sure the Viking Her Collection fits women’s feet not only in theory, Viking based the development process on concrete data and real feedback. This included more than 200,000 foot scans from women in Northern Europe. These scans show how differently women’s feet can be shaped and what this means for fit, heel hold and stability.
At the same time, the models were tested by women in real everyday situations. Not just on paper or in the lab, but where outdoor shoes really need to perform: on longer walks, in changing weather, during everyday wear and on easy terrain. This allowed practical experience to flow directly into the development process.
Why women-specific outdoor shoes make sense
Women’s feet often differ from men’s feet not only in size, but also in shape, volume and proportions. Many women have a narrower heel, a lower instep or a different relationship between the heel area and forefoot. If a shoe is simply scaled down, this is exactly where problems can arise: the heel may not sit securely, the foot may slide inside the shoe or pressure points may develop because the volume and cut do not match the shape of the foot.
Movement also plays an important role. Due to anatomical differences in the pelvis, leg axis and gait, forces can act differently on the foot, knee and hip when walking. Especially on uneven ground, over longer distances or in wet conditions, the foot needs reliable support without the shoe feeling stiff or restrictive. An outdoor shoe developed specifically for women can take these requirements into account more precisely: it provides stability where guidance is needed, while still allowing enough flexibility for a natural rolling motion. This turns fit into more than just a question of comfort. It becomes an important factor for security, surefootedness and long-term well-being.
Motion Control: Targeted support for women’s feet
The Motion Control technology in the Viking Her Collection is specifically tailored to women and is designed to help counteract overpronation. The aim is to create a more balanced gait, with targeted support for the foot without making the shoe feel unnecessarily stiff.
This includes:
- Additional support in the heel area: Provides more stability and a secure, confident step.
- Split sole construction: Helps create a more balanced and controlled stride.
- Combined midsole: Soft cushioning is paired with firmer zones to bring comfort and balance together.
- Asymmetrical design: Tailored to the needs of women, offering precise support and functionality.
Material choice in the Her Collection
When it comes to materials, Viking uses recycled components in the Her Collection. According to the manufacturer, the laces and upper contain a total recycled content of 51 percent.
For you, this means the Viking Her Collection combines a women-specific fit with functional materials, while staying focused on what matters outdoors: comfort, support and reliable function in everyday life and on easy outdoor routes.
The Viking Her Collection models at a glance
All three models in the Viking Her Collection were developed for women, tested by women and feature a low-cut, sporty design with targeted support. They all share the Motion Control technology, which is designed to provide more stability and contribute to a more balanced gait. The EVA midsole, reinforced TPU heel counter and robust rubber outsole are also part of the collection’s technical concept. The main differences are in weather protection and intended use:
Viking Her Momentum GTX
The Viking Her Momentum GTX is a waterproof sneaker with a GORE-TEX membrane and was developed for active days and changing weather conditions. This makes it a great choice if you are regularly outdoors and the weather is not always predictable. Everyday wear, longer walks, travel or easy outdoor routes: the Momentum GTX combines sporty sneaker style with weather protection, stability and comfort.
The breathable Airflow insole adds to the comfortable feel, while the robust rubber outsole provides grip on different surfaces.
Viking Her Boost WP
The Viking Her Boost WP is a versatile waterproof shoe with Viking’s Watershield membrane. It is ideal for varied everyday use. This makes it a good choice if you are looking for a stable women’s shoe that supports you through active days and also performs reliably in wet weather.
The Boost WP brings together weather protection, support and a secure walking feel. It is especially suitable for everyday wear, walks, errands and easy routes where comfort and stability are the priority.
Viking Her Sense
The Viking Her Sense is the lighter option in the collection and comes without a waterproof membrane. According to Viking, it was developed for warm days and the summer season. This makes it particularly interesting if you are out in drier conditions and want a light, sporty feel.
Whether for walks, errands, leisure time or active summer days, the Sense is an uncomplicated Viking women’s shoe for anyone looking for support and comfort without the need for additional weather protection.
How to care for the Viking Her Collection
To help your shoes from the Viking Her Collection perform well for as long as possible, regular and gentle care is worthwhile. Remove coarse dirt after wearing them, ideally with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Lukewarm water and mild care products suitable for the respective upper material are usually enough for cleaning.
Avoid machine washing, harsh cleaning products and direct heat. Instead, let the shoes dry at room temperature and remove the insoles if needed. This helps preserve the materials, fit and function for longer. For waterproof models, a suitable waterproofing treatment can also help support the water-repellent properties of the upper.
Conclusion: A well-designed fit for women
The Viking Her Collection shows just how much difference a carefully considered fit can make. With this collection, Viking focuses specifically on the requirements of women’s feet: with adapted support, stabilising elements and a natural feel for everyday wear, walks and easy outdoor routes. Whether you need a waterproof companion for changeable weather, a versatile everyday shoe with weather protection or a lighter option for warm days, the Momentum GTX, Boost WP and Sense offer different choices for different needs. So you can find the shoe that not only suits your intended use, but also feels right with every step.
