About Kamik
Kamik makes winter and rain boots and belongs to Genfoot, a Quebec family firm with roots going back to 1898. The company still makes most of its pairs locally. Kamik boots are a familiar sight in Quebec schoolyards, on snowy sidewalks and at the cottage.
Kamik suits families, outdoor workers and anyone who needs to keep their feet warm and dry through a long Quebec winter or a wet spring. Kids' snow boots are a classic back-to-school or early winter purchase, so shop in the fall before the first snowfall. Rain boots are handy for muddy spring days, gardening and the slushy weeks of the thaw.
