Boulet Boots (G A Boulet, trading as Boulet Inc.) is a Saint-Tite, Quebec maker of western boots founded in 1933 as The St-Tite Shoe Co. and continuously run by the founding family across four generations. All boots are built at its own Goodyear welt factory in Saint-Tite, employing more than 160 people, and the vendor's own manufacturing page names American and European tanneries as its leather source rather than domestic ones. It sells direct from bouletboots.com and through western wear retailers such as Lammle's Western Wear.
Factors
Ownership
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The vendor's own history page names the founder G.A. Boulet and three further generations of the same family (Robert, Roger, and Reynald; Pierre and Louis; Jenny and François) and states the company is "continuously owned by the same family" since 1933. The Quebec business registry (REQ) returned a Cloudflare access-denied page to automated fetches and Corporations Canada's federal registry shows no matching entity, likely because this is a provincial rather than federal corporation, so ownership rests on the vendor's own account, corroborated by madeinca.ca.

The vendor states it operates the largest cowboy boot factory in Canada at its Saint-Tite, Quebec site, employing more than 160 people, and that it remains specialized entirely in Goodyear welt construction there. No other production site is mentioned anywhere on the site, and madeinca.ca repeats that production stays in St-Tite, Quebec.

The vendor's own manufacturing page says leather, the boots' dominant material, comes from "tanneries in America and in Europe," with no split given between the two, which contradicts madeinca.ca's claim that Boulet sources its leather domestically; the more specific vendor statement is preferred here. Hardware such as the steel shank and Goodyear welt components are not sourced on the same page, so a small Canadian share is assumed for those and for the vendor's own packaging and finishing.
