About Pajar: A Legacy of Canadian Footwear & Outerwear Craftsmanship 

Our core philosophy is the development of Canadian premium performance fashion footwear and outerwear, drawing from our extensive knowledge and expertise acquired through our rich handcrafted shoemaking history.

The History of Pajar

Based in Montreal, Pajar Canada is a five-generation, family-owned footwear and outerwear company with deep roots in Canadian craftsmanship. Paul Golbert founded the brand in 1963, creating the name from the first letters of his family members: Paul, Jacques, and Rachel. 

For over 60 years, Pajar Canada has evolved as a global leader in the design and manufacture of performance fashion footwear and winter boots. Our rich Canadian heritage inspires our ready-to-wear footwear and outerwear collections, blending tradition with modern innovation.

Our Mission 

Pajar Canada aims to provide the ultimate in performance and comfort by fusing innovative technology and the latest in high-end design. With a collection crafted in the finest waterproof leather and textiles, we are always finding new ways to blend modern practical design with old-world craftsmanship.

The Pajar Heritage Collection, proudly handcrafted in Montreal, Quebec, embodies our main mission and represents classic Canadian luxury footwear.

Performance Collections

Our Heritage boots, made in Canada, feature 100% waterproof leather and genuine sheepskin lining, providing exceptional warmth in temperatures as low as -40°C.

The Pajar Sport collection combines urban performance with casual streetwear, manufactured in our facilities across Italy, Portugal, and Asia. Each piece features seam-sealed premium waterproof construction and our innovative Pajar-Tex membrane, ensuring comfort in temperatures down to -30°C.

Signature Design Elements

Our distinctive ice-gripping soles provide confident footing on winter streets, while premium materials - from waxy nubuck to velvet suede, full-grain leather, and ballistic nylon - deliver lasting quality. The Italian-crafted Oslo Après-Ski Collection showcases genuine fur uppers, including fox, rabbit, and goat fur, enhanced with hydro-repellent leather and seam-sealed construction.
