About Canadian Footwear

Canadian Footwear Ltd. is a family owned business that was formed in 1932 by Bert Scharfstein. The Winnipeg based company has gone through many changes during the years, starting as a wholesaler from the 1930’s to 1950’s; as a footwear discounter to the late 1950’s; then competing with big box retailers through the 1970’s until the late 1980’s. In the late 1980’s Bert and his wife Ethel, passed away within nine days of each other. It was then that Bert’s son Brian and his partner Pam Cipryk purchased the business from the estate.

When Brian and Pam first took over the company, Brian had experienced some minor health issues which had been corrected with orthotics. That was when Brian decided to take Canadian Footwear to another level and offer additional services to better fill the customer’s needs.

Brian learned everything he could about the orthotic industry including enrolling in a Pedorthic class in Chicago. From 1986-1990 Brian went back to school to become a Certified Pedorthist. During this time his partner Pam, developed the infrastructure to enable the business to grow.

Brian's Pedorthic certification marked a significant change in the company. Canadian Footwear began to specialize, focusing on our customers' needs, providing education, service and the best in quality footwear and accessories... our “We Fit You” experience. “We Fit You” has become our company slogan and we have become the best at what we do!

Best Shoe store in Canada

s	souad bauer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to Canadian Footwear a week ago and Im glad i did. The fitting specialist, Andrew on St.Mary's was very helpful and patient. He provided practical advice and was not rushing me into making a sale. I got a pair of boots and shoes. Thank you. I'll definitely go back to this branch.
L	Linda M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Since my work related accident, I have had to get high quality shoes and they always have what I want, if they don't have it at this location, they bring it in for me from another location. Customer Service is excellent.
G	Gary Goodwin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were nicely greeted at the door and asked the standard questions. Personal service is nice to have so you can get relevant information on your purchase. They had the exact size and colour I was looking for. I already had an idea as the brand and purpose for the Merrell shoe I was looking for.
T	Tracy Jensen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Went in there the other day looking for a New pair of Keen boots. I was wearing my old pair of Keens and having spent $300 on a pair of Baffins last winter in this store I learnt that they also sell my exact Keen Boots. Although they are not the most common they are the best boots I've owned. Assuming that I may have to order these boots I entered your store to be greated by an older fella. I asked him about my boots and he quickly responded with a no. Never even batted an eye. Then when I questioned him about it once again I was blown a big no we don't. Now I'm obviously more educated with your product lines then your staff which is a shame. But the fact that this man didn't even bother to look when clearly over his shoulder was your display of Keen Boots. I just saw your TV ad and it literally ticked me off which sparked this review. And when I think back to when I bought my Baffins from you last year, the fella that finalized the sale was also a total jerk. The lady manager was awesome and unfortunately she had to turn me over to this piece of work who appeared to be taking credit for the sale at the till. I'd have to be desperate before I'd go back. That's about $600 in boots folks!
K	Kalan Genereux on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Exceptional Service This was probably the best shoe buying experience I've had. When me and my mom went here on 08/20/21, we were greeted by an older gentleman who went over the usual COVID questions with us, then asked us what kind of shoes we were there for, we told him about my foot surgery, and then he told us that a specialist would be out right away, and within seconds, Susan was there to help us find what we were looking for, and that she did. She measured my feet and went over with us what would be a good choice based on my specific preferences and needs. She also helped me find a pair of socks that would help to keep my feet cool and help with my poor circulation. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as well as professional. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking the perfect fit. Thank you, Susan!
G	Geoffrey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A professional shoe experience This location has a decent parking with good amount of parking. They share the parking lot with mary brown's chicken. It's the large first lot (north end of the lot). It is pretty easy to drive too far and miss the entrance. Once you park and get inside you are greeted and asked a few questions. You get to sanitize your hands and provided with an attendant. The attendant will guide your shopping experience. They can quickly find what you are looking for, make sure it's a good fit. Experienced staff makes the shop fast and easy. Prices are on par with other stores. They have a great variety of quality footwear. I have bought several pairs of Keen's and work shoes from them.
M	Marie7 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I took my son to this location on Fri. Aug. 20/21, as he has some special fitting needs. We were pleasantly greeted at the door by (I believe his name was Adam), and assisted by Susan. Susan was very helpful, knowledgeable and informative. She measured and fit him, added 2 different types of padded inserts for a year, and taught him special lacing techniques to help with proper fit. She addressed his needs with regards to poor circulation and keeping his feet cool with bamboo socks that were made with special wicking, and let us know we could return for help with other lacing techniques, and had a year warranty on the shoes. Their product was of high quality and extremely well-made. Our shoe shopping experience was by far superior to any other. We will definitely return. Thank you, Susan!
L	Lisa Yaroshko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very disappointed. Made two back-to-back appointments at Adelaide location for two people. Had pre-discussed needs with staff before coming in. When we got there, there was only one appointment made and it was not nearly enough time. It was like the pre-discussion had never happened. When we didn’t like the one pair of shoes offered, the staff member seemed to be aggravated with us. When we said we would like to see something else in a different style, the staff member told us she didn’t have enough time. When I said that I was disappointed that one of the appointments had not been booked, the staff member didn’t acknowledge what I said and told me to book another appointment for another day. I don’t want to shop at a store where they are aggravated with me when I don’t buy the one pair of shoes available in the time allotted. Even though I had pre-discussed and pre-booked an appointment, our trip was wasted.
