The word Kamik comes from the language of the Inuit and translates to something like seal fur boots. And so the winter boots of the Canadian manufacturer have been a synonym for waterproof, warm and indestructible winter shoes since 1932. This is also evident from the fact that many of the highest quality models are still made in Canada or Europe and the parent company Genfoot is still a family business under the leadership of the founding family Cook. And anyone who has once enjoyed one of the legendary Waterbug models as a child often remains loyal to the brand for a lifetime.
