Canada West Boots

Canada West Boots is a 100% Canadian owned family business, started in 1978 by William Moorby. Graham Moorby is a third-generation shoe maker who has recently taken over from his father Ted, who was president of the company for the past 15 years. Graham’s Uncle Paul, Aunt Lisa, and Grandmother Donna Moorby have all been part of the company’s success over the past 40 years.

All production takes place in their Winnipeg, Manitoba factory using Goodyear Welt construction. This traditional and handcrafted way of shoemaking is uniquely durable in that all the upper and sole components are attached by stitching. The upper and welt are sewn to the insole and the sole is then sewn to the welt creating a high quality, durable boot. Canada West uses premium leathers and most of their collection uses Vibram soles.
