Canada West Boots is the trading name of Canada West Shoe Manufacturing Ltd., a family-owned company that has hand crafted work, western, and outdoor boots at its own factory in Winnipeg, Manitoba since 1978. It does not sell direct to the public from that factory except through its own Factory Outlet Store at the same address, moving the rest of its volume through a national network of Canadian retailers it does not name online, plus at least one listing on Amazon.ca. Leather and hardware sourcing is not disclosed anywhere on its site.

Factors

Ownership

CA 100%

The vendor describes itself on its own site as a family-owned Canadian company operating for 48 years under president Graham Moorby, and madeinca.ca independently lists it as Canadian-owned. Corporations Canada's online search tool did not return a usable result for Canada West Shoe Manufacturing Ltd. and Manitoba's Companies Office search requires a paid account, so this rests on the vendor's own statement rather than a registry filing.

Manufacturing

100.0 reported

CA 100%

The vendor states its boots are hand crafted at its own factory at 1250 Fife Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the same address as its head office, with about 65 employees and staff, and madeinca.ca independently names Winnipeg as the manufacturing location. No evidence of production outside this single facility was found.

Canada West's only disclosed location is its Winnipeg factory and head office at 1250 Fife Street, where the vendor says about 65 employees and staff work; no other office, warehouse, or design location appears anywhere on the site.

The vendor does not disclose where its leather, soling, or hardware come from. The only sourced input it names is a beeswax leather-care product made on its behalf in Canada by Canadian Beeseal. Canada has little domestic heavy-leather tanning capacity, so the mix assumes most leather and componentry are imported from the United States and overseas, as an estimate.
