LA CANADIENNE

La Canadienne is a Canadian footwear brand known for waterproof leather and suede boots and shoes. According to the brand's website, it was founded in Montréal in 1987 and draws on European design expertise, and its signature City Dry waterproof treatment is built into the leather and suede so styles are ready for wet weather out of the box. At Sole Provisions, the La Canadienne collection brings together boots, booties, loafers, flats, and sneakers, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's waterproof, winter boots, women's boots, and women's footwear selections.

La Canadienne shoes suit people who want a polished, city ready look that handles rain and cold. The sections below explain the brand's story, what City Dry means, and how to choose a pair.

A Canadian Brand Since 1987

The brand's website says it was founded in 1987 in Montréal, Québec, with European inspired design and a commitment to working with Italian hides. A 2021 retail article describes a Montreal based company with stores in Montreal and Toronto and says its shoes were made at a factory in Montreal that had operated since the company began, with leathers, suedes, and soles sourced from Italy. Where a specific pair is made can vary, so check the product information for the style you are considering. If you enjoy cold weather and waterproof brands, you may also like Pajar, Sorel, and UGG.

City Dry Waterproof Technology

According to the brand, City Dry is a waterproof treatment applied throughout its leather and suede, so water is repelled from the surface and styles are ready to wear without extra treatment. The brand notes that its waterproof guarantee does not cover zippers, lace openings, elastics, or genuine shearling shafts, so check each product page for the details of your pair. Linings vary, with leather, microfiber, or shearling on some styles. Clean your shoes regularly and follow the care instructions that come with your pair, and see our shoe care products.

Boots and Booties

Boots are the heart of the range, from Chelsea boots to booties, knee highs, and lug sole styles for winter. Browse our Chelsea boots, ankle boots, booties, and winter boots. No outsole removes the risk of slipping on ice, so check each product page for the details of your pair. Styles in our collection change often, so check each product page for what is available now.

Loafers, Flats, and Mules

La Canadienne also makes loafers, pointed toe flats, and ballet flats, along with shearling lined mules for cooler days. Browse our loafers, flats, women's slip ons, and women's slippers.

Sneakers

Leather and suede sneakers add a casual option, and some are lined with shearling for warmth. Browse our women's sneakers and pair them with women's socks.

Comfort Features to Look For

Comfort depends on the style and your feet. Look for a padded insole, a flexible sole, a soft lining, and a secure fit, and note that shearling lined styles run warmer. If you want to add your own support, browse our shoe inserts and arch support shoes. For medical questions about your feet, check with a healthcare professional.

Choosing the Right Fit

Fit varies by style, so check each product page and size chart. Width and sizing details are not listed on the collection page, so try a pair in store when you can. If you need more room, browse our women's wide shoes. Try shoes on later in the day, when feet tend to be fullest, with the socks you plan to wear. For a personal fitting, visit one of our Sole Provisions locations, or read more in our educational hub.
