Best shoe brands in Canada
Poppy Barley
Poppy Barley is an Edmonton-based footwear and accessory brand, and they offer gorgeous pieces for both women and men.
Their shoes are ethically-produced using responsible materials, and 90% of their packaging uses environmentally-friendly materials.
All of the leather they use are a by-product of food production, and they’re tanned using vegetables!
They also have a line of vegan accessories made with cactus leather, which is pretty cool.
They’re also a certified B Corp, which means they do great for the environment and for people who work for them.
La Canadienne
La Canadienne is a Montreal-based women’s luxury footwear company that started out back in the 80’s, and they’ve been around for over 3 decades now.
They handcraft their trendy yet timeless shoes in Canada, Italy, and Spain using Italian leathers and suedes, and they’re made for all seasons (definitely a must for Canadian weather).
Their footwear is ethically made in their Montreal factory, one of the last family-owned Canadian shoe factories!
They’ve even got stylish outerwear and accessories, similar to Rudsak (an awesome Canadian outerwear brand).
L’Intervalle
L’Intervalle was founded in Montreal by a husband-and-wife team, and they’re all about filling the space between high-end and low-end footwear.
They make trendy, modern, and high-quality pieces at affordable prices, and all their footwear is handcrafted in limited quantities in Spain, Italy, and Brazil.
I love that they offer their styles in tons of different colours, and I adore the Centro sandals, Giligan heeled sandals, and Clarabelle heeled sandals.
Matt & Nat
Matt & Nat is a well-known Montreal-based company that’s dedicated to producing vegan products, and they’ve been around since the 90’s.
They’re also working towards more sustainable practices, and have used all kinds of different recycled materials in their products over the years.
They actually started out just making bags and accessories, but they now offer shoes as well!
You can find everything from sandals to boots, though they have a lot more women’s shoes than men’s.
I adore these OLAYA sandals, these AAHANA sneakers, and these ZUKE Chelsea boots.
John Fluevog Shoes
This Vancouver-based footwear brand started out as Fox and Fluevog back in 1970, and became John Fluevog Shoes in 1980.
They’ve been producing high-quality footwear for over 50 years, and they have locations around the world!
You’ll find colourful, funky, and eclectic footwear, and I especially love their Jueves leather shoes and Razzle platform sandals.
Most of their footwear is made in Portugal, and they also use some recycled materials!
WANT Les Essentiels
WANT Les Essentiels is a Montreal-based leather goods company, and they’ve got a gorgeous selection of footwear.
Bags are the main thing they offer, but they also have clothing, accessories, and shoes.
All of their pieces are made to be gender-neutral, which is really cool!
I’m obsessed with their Evers sneakers, their Graves loafer, and their Wellington Chelsea boot.
Aldo Shoes
We all know and love our beloved Aldo Shoes, a Montreal-based footwear and accessory brand that’s in pretty much every major mall in Canada.
They started out in Montreal back in the 70’s, and now they’re all over the world.
From chic sandals to sleek tall boots, they’ve got plenty of trendy and timeless styles at affordable prices for both women and men.
Plus, their shoes are great quality, and last for literally years!
My mom has been shopping Aldo shoes for as long as I can remember, so naturally I’ve been shopping there since I was a teenager as well.
Aldo is also the first fashion footwear and accessories company in the world to be certified climate neutral, and they’re working towards becoming more sustainable!
Call It Spring
Call It Spring is actually a sister brand to Aldo, and they’re more geared towards the gen Z crowd.
They’ve also got trendy and affordable footwear and accessories for women and men, at a little more of an affordable price point than Aldo.
All of their footwear and accessories are vegan and sustainable, plus they’re also climate neutral!
Vessi
Vessi is known for their 100% waterproof sneakers, which are also vegan.
They’re based out of the rainiest place in Canada… You guessed it, Vancouver, which is also known as “Raincouver”!
You can find their waterproof sneakers in neutrals and fun colours.
Thesus
If you’re looking for even more chic and sustainable shoe brands in Canada, Thesus is an outdoor women’s footwear brand based out of Toronto.
95% of their materials are natural and recycled, and their footwear is all free of virgin plastic.
They also source their rubber from sustainably managed forests!
They don’t have a huge selection of footwear, but they’ve got a good selection of classic and timeless shoes for all seasons.
You might also know them by their former name, Alice + Whittles!
Brave Soles
Brave Soles is a sustainable and ethical Canadian footwear and accessory brand, and they make shoes out of upcycled tires!
They have so many gorgeous pairs of sandals made with locally-sourced leather, all of which also include materials from the upcycled tires.
You can shop both women‘s and men’s footwear at Brave Soles.
They also have a whole collection made with pieces from upcycled aircraft materials!
