Kamik (named after the Inuit word for “foot covering”) has been keeping feet warm and dry for over a century. This Canadian heritage brand started in 1898 and remains family-run, still based near Montreal where it began. Kamik made its name crafting tough winter boots built to withstand brutal snowstorms and muddy spring thaws alike. Generations of adventurers have relied on Kamik for no-nonsense quality – the kind of durable, cozy boots you’d trust on a winter camping trip or a walk to school in a blizzard. The brand’s ethos has always been about reliability and local production, with many of its boots made in Canada or the USA, ensuring they’re made for North American weather by the folks who know it best.
Sustainability is a big part of Kamik’s story, too. Long before “eco-friendly” was a buzzword, Kamik was finding innovative ways to reduce waste. Their factories are powered by hydroelectric energy and use a special water recycling system in production. Even the boots come full circle – worn-out rubber boots and scraps get ground up and reincarnated into new boot soles and liners instead of ending up in landfills. So when you pull on a pair of Kamiks, you’re not just gearing up for the outdoors; you’re supporting a brand that’s walking the talk on sustainability and has been for decades.
