History

Established in 1978.

Alberta Boot was an idea that came from Clement Gerwing in the mid 1970’s. He was selling western boots from Mexico and Quebec out of his wholesale footwear store. The demand for well made western boots was high and he didn’t like the quality and products coming in. This was when he decided to start a new venture at an age many were considering retirement.

In 1978, after playing around with several boot ‘last’ shapes over a course of 2 years, Alberta Boot was ready to go.

35 years later, we still make all our boots the same way we did at the beginning, even using quite a few of the original machines to add to the allure and individuality of every pair of boots produced. Clem Gerwing, now 93 years young still comes into the store to make sure everyone is working hard and to chat with old friends and new customers. Clem has now passed the reins of the company on to 3^rd Generation and grandson, Ben Gerwing.
