Roots – Canadian Heritage in Every Stitch

Established in 1973 by Michael Budman and Don Green, Roots grew from a shared passion for nature and a deep-rooted bond with Ontario’s Algonquin Park. What began in Toronto as a footwear brand has evolved into a globally recognized name in lifestyle fashion.

Today, Roots is celebrated for its handcrafted leather goods, premium outerwear, signature salt & pepper fleece styles, and relaxed natural-fiber clothing. Their offerings extend to thoughtfully designed home essentials—all infused with authentic Canadian spirit. Every leather piece is proudly made at their Toronto-based factory, where craftsmanship and care take center stage.
