Cougar Shoes Store

Cougar, the Canadian shoe company whose winter boots have been worn and loved by millions of Canadian families, is back. The company, affectionately remembered for its down-to-earth, highly functional footwear, is reinventing itself for a new generation of Canadians - and the world. Cougar made footwear history in 1976 when it introduced a simple work boot-inspired winter boot for men, women and children known as the Pillow boot. More than 8 million Canadians wore the caramel leather, calf-high, rubber-soled, lace-up with the red fleece lining that was fashion-forward in its time and became one of the few truly iconic items of apparel Canada has ever produced. For adults the Pillow boot was the perfect warm, comfortable and durable boot for shoveling snow and navigating slush-filled winter streets. And for the country's hundreds of thousands of students, Cougar Pillow boots were pure fashion, worn loose-laced and open with red fleece-lined tongues flopping, regardless of the weather.
