Bos & Co

Bos. & Co. is a family run footwear company known for European made comfort shoes and weather ready boots. According to a Footwear Plus magazine profile, the company is based in Burlington, Ontario, and has grown into a three generation family business that designs its own Bos. & Co. brand alongside distributing European labels such as Fly London. At Sole Provisions, the Bos & Co collection brings together boots, sneakers, sandals, and flats, and it sits naturally beside our wider women's boots, women's waterproof, and women's sneakers selections.

People who shop Bos & Co usually want shoes that combine a fashionable shape with real comfort and practical features, such as waterproof leather and soft linings for cold days. The sections below explain the brand's story, what it is known for, and how to choose a pair.

A Family Business With European Roots

The Footwear Plus profile describes Bos. & Co. as a Canadian company led by a father and sons, with the third generation now involved. The company started by importing Fly London and later added its own Bos. & Co. brand, and the profile says it expanded into the United States a few years after launching in Canada. Founding details are reported differently across sources, so for the brand's own history, visit its website. The company describes itself as a family owned importer of fine European made footwear. If you enjoy European comfort brands, you may also like Fly London, As Portuguesas, and Rieker.

Made Mainly in Portugal

According to the 2017 Footwear Plus profile, about 85 percent of the company's collections were made in Portugal at that time, with the rest sourced elsewhere, and some uppers sourced in India and assembled in Portugal. Retailer listings for the Bos. & Co. Hawker boot also list Portugal as the country of origin. Production can change, so check the product information for the style you are considering.

Waterproof Boots for Cold and Wet Days

Many Bos. & Co. boots are described by retailers as waterproof and lined with wool or merino for warmth, with a grippy rubber sole for winter traction. Features vary by style, and no outsole removes the risk of slipping on ice, so check each product page for the details of your pair. Browse our winter boots, ankle boots, booties, and Chelsea boots.

Leather, Suede, and Soft Linings

Bos. & Co. uses leather and suede, often with soft linings and padded insoles on its cold weather boots. Leather softens with wear, and suede benefits from regular care. Follow the care instructions that come with your pair, and use our shoe care products to protect suede and leather.

Sneakers, Sandals, and Flats

The brand is not only about boots. Its range includes casual sneakers, slip ons, sandals, loafers, and ballet flats that suit warmer weather and everyday outfits. Browse our women's sandals, women's slip ons, flats, loafers, and wedges. Styles in our collection change often, so check each product page for what is available now.

Comfort Features to Look For

Comfort depends on the style and your feet. Look for a padded insole, a flexible sole, soft lining, and a secure fit. 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

Bos. & Co. is a European made brand, and many retailers list its sizes in European numbers, 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 if you can. If you need more room, browse our wide width 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.
