About Pajar

Pajar is a winter boot and jacket brand started in Montréal in 1963 by shoemaker Paul Golbert. It grew from a shoemaking background into a name known for footwear and outerwear built for cold weather.

Pajar suits anyone facing slushy sidewalks, icy mornings and long waits at the bus stop. A good pair of winter boots is one of the most useful things you can own in Montréal. Shop in the fall, and try boots on with the socks you will actually wear. The brand has been part of Montréal winters for six decades.
