Warmest winter boots: Canadian footwear company celebrates its 50th anniversary
Pajar is a family-owned, Canadian boot and apparel company celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, too. The company’s founder, Paul Golbert, was born into a family of shoemakers and in 1963 launched Pajar in Montreal. In 1973, his zigzag boot with sheepskin lining popularized the Après Ski boot (and today you can buy a lined sheepskin boot that is guaranteed to keep you warm, even when temps plummet to -40C), and he soon dominated the shearling boot production. Today, the line includes boots and outwear for both men and women.
