KAMIK

Kamik makes waterproof winter and rain boots with more than a century of Canadian cold weather experience behind them. The company began in 1898 in Contrecoeur, Quebec, as a work boot maker, and the Cook family has owned it since 1932. It is still family run through its Montreal based parent company, Genfoot. The name Kamik comes from an Inuit word for a foot covering, and it was adopted in the 1970s. At Sole Provisions, the Kamik collection covers insulated winter boots for women and men plus simple rain boots for kids, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's waterproof and men's waterproof selections.

Built in Canada, for Canadian Winters

Kamik designs its boots around a simple belief: there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad footwear. About 70 percent of production happens in North America, mainly in Quebec and New Hampshire, so the boots are built close to the cold conditions they are meant for. That focus shows in the construction, which prioritizes insulation, waterproofing, and traction for snow, slush, and ice.

Sustainability Built Into Manufacturing

Kamik has used eco-conscious practices since 1991. The company reportedly recycles about 90 percent of its production water, reuses rubber offcuts to make new boots (around 360,000 a year), and uses 98 to 100 percent recycled materials in its winter linings. If sustainability matters when you choose footwear, that history makes Kamik a thoughtful option.

Winter Boots Built for Real Cold

The Sienna 3 and Sienna F 2 are insulated for deep snow and cold, making them dependable choices for shoveling, commuting, and long days outdoors. The Alborg Plus and Nation Plus bring similar cold weather construction to a more casual style that works for everyday wear. If you want to compare other cold weather options, browse our women's boots and men's boots.

Simple, Durable Rain Boots for Kids

The Kid's Raindrops is a pull-on rain boot that children can put on by themselves, which makes busy school mornings easier. It is priced below the adult lines and made to handle puddles, mud, and wet playgrounds. For more options, explore our kids' waterproof and kids' boots collections.

Fit and Care Tips

Insulated Kamik styles run true to size but need room for thick socks, so check fit notes and think about the socks you will wear. Our men's socks, women's socks, and kids' socks are good companions for winter boots. Rubber and recycled material boots rinse clean easily, and our shoe care products help extend their life. If you use orthotics or need extra comfort, look at our shoe inserts.
