About La Canadienne
La Canadienne is a footwear brand founded in Montréal in 1987. It makes waterproof leather and suede boots designed for city winters, when sidewalks turn to slush and salt. The boots aim to keep feet dry while still looking polished enough for the office or a night out.
La Canadienne suits people who walk a lot in winter and want boots that work with both jeans and dressier outfits. It is a sensible purchase to make before the first snowfall. Take care of the leather or suede through the season so your boots stay ready for many Montréal winters.
