Which group suits you
This page is useful if you want to try on shoes while you are in the city centre anyway, are looking for a size or a type of shoe that few shops stock, or prefer a shopping centre with long opening hours.
| If you need | What to look at | Which group fits | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Everyday or dress shoes while you are in the centre | An address by Jernbanetorget, in Kirkegata, in Lille Grensen or in Karl Johans gate | City centre | Closing time: the shops in shopping centres stay open longer than the street shops |
| Sneakers | The word sneakers in the card description | City centre and outside the centre | Opening time: the sneaker shop in the centre opens at 11:00 |
| Shoes in large sizes, mountain boots or welted shoes | The speciality named in the card description | Specialist shops | Opening days: two of the shops have shorter hours than usual |
| Children's shoes, and help finding the right size | A mention of children in the card description | Specialist shops, and the shopping centre at Lilleaker outside the centre | Whether the shop has the size in stock: call and ask |
| A shoe shop that is open after work | An address in a shopping centre | City centre and outside the centre | Saturday hours: they are shorter than on weekdays |
Where the shops are, and what they stock
- City centre: four shops lie between Jernbanetorget and Karl Johans gate, two of them in shopping centres.
- Three of the specialist shops are in Grünerløkka, the fourth in Josefines gate between the centre and Majorstuen.
- Outside the centre, the shops are in the shopping street Bogstadveien and in shopping centres at Lilleaker and Lambertseter.
- This page is a selection: the directory lists 77 shoe shops.
In central Oslo the four shops are less than a kilometre apart. One is on the 2nd floor of the Byporten shopping centre at Jernbanetorget and is a single-brand shop with women's and men's shoes, and one is in Paleet in Karl Johans gate and sells shoes, bags and belts made in Italy. Between them are a sneaker shop in Kirkegata and a shop with women's shoes in Lille Grensen.
The specialist shops are away from the busiest shopping streets. In Grünerløkka you will find a shop for women's and men's shoes in large sizes, a family business from 1943 in Sannergata that stocks children's shoes alongside women's and men's, and a Norwegian brand that sells mountain boots from its own shop in Dælenenggata. In Josefines gate, a shop with a shoemaker's background sells classic welted shoes.
Outside the centre there is a shoe shop with around a hundred years of history in Bogstadveien, and two shops in shopping centres: in CC Vest at Lilleaker and in the centre at Lambertseter. The rest of the city's shoe shops are in the category Shoe Stores, and guides on other topics are collected in the ratings section.
Opening hours: shopping centre, street shop and specialist
- The shops in shopping centres are open until 20:00 or 21:00 on weekdays.
- The street shops usually close at 18:00, and most stay open an hour longer on Thursdays.
- Two specialist shops keep their own hours: one closes early in the afternoon, the other has fixed opening hours only from Thursday to Saturday.
- Shoe shops are closed on Sundays.
According to the websites of the shops and shopping centres in October 2026, the shops in Byporten, CC Vest and at Lambertseter are open from 10:00 to 21:00 on weekdays, and the shop in Paleet until 20:00. On Saturdays they close between 18:00 and 20:00.
The street shops have shorter days: they close at 18:00 on weekdays, and most stay open until 19:00 on Thursdays. The sneaker shop in Kirkegata and the shop in Josefines gate do not open until 11:00. On Saturdays the street shops close between 17:00 and 19:00.
The shop for large sizes in Grünerløkka gives 10:00 to 15:00 on its website, on weekdays and Saturdays alike, while the card in the directory shows a later closing time on weekdays. The boot shop in Dælenenggata is open on Thursday and Friday from 12:00 to 18:00 and on Saturday until 16:00, and sees customers by appointment from Monday to Wednesday. Call before you go to these two: the phone number is in the card.
On Sundays shoe shops are closed, like other ordinary shops in Norway. The exception is the last three Sundays before Christmas Eve, when they may open between 14:00 and 20:00: the rules are explained in the article on shops open on Sundays.
Exchanges, complaints and shoe repair
- Click and collect: two of the shops let you order online and pick up the pair in the shop.
- Exchanging in a shop is not a legal right, but something the shop itself offers.
- Complaints about faults: two years, and five years for shoes meant to last considerably longer, such as mountain boots and winter shoes.
- Repairs: the one shop that has a workshop is not taking new repairs at present.
If the pair does not fit, the shop's own rules decide whether you can exchange it. The family shop in Sannergata says on its website that you can order with click and collect, and that returns are free when you hand the shoes in at the shop. The chain with a shop at Lambertseter states click and collect within 30 minutes, 30 days to return a purchase and free returns in the shop. The shop in Lille Grensen has, according to its website, closed its online shop until further notice, so you need to drop in to see the range.
A fault in the shoes is a different matter from changing your mind. If the heel comes loose or breaks, or the shoes wear out unusually quickly, you can make a complaint. The time limit is two years, and five years for goods meant to last considerably longer: the examples given by the Norwegian Consumer Council (Forbrukerrådet) include mountain boots and winter shoes. Complain to the shop first, and if you cannot agree, you can take the case to the Norwegian Consumer Authority (Forbrukertilsynet).
Repair is a trade of its own. The shop in Josefines gate has a shoemaker's background, but says on its website in October 2026 that the workshop is not taking new repairs until further notice. The boot brand in Dælenenggata describes its boots as easy to repair: ask in the shop how that works.
Questions and answers
The shops in the shopping centres: in Byporten, in CC Vest and at Lambertseter they are open until 21:00 on weekdays, according to the websites in October 2026. Shoe shops are closed on Sundays.
In Grünerløkka there is a specialist shop with women's and men's shoes in large sizes. Its opening hours are shorter than at the others: the website gives 10:00 to 15:00.
At the family shop in Sannergata in Grünerløkka: it stocks children's shoes, and according to its website the staff measure the feet and find shoes that fit. Next to the shop in CC Vest at Lilleaker there is also a separate children's shoe shop from the same chain.
That is up to the shop, because exchange is not a legal right. Ask about exchanges and the return period before you pay, and keep the receipt.
Two years, and five years for shoes meant to last considerably longer. The Norwegian Consumer Council names mountain boots and winter shoes as examples of the latter.
