Designed in Canada. Made for Everyone. Happy 150th Canada!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (hey, it can happen), you’ll know that this year marks Canada’s 150th year of Confederation. With all the inspiring celebrations taking place in cities and towns all across Canada, we wanted to join in on the celebration, blog-style. You may not realize it, but Becker Shoes has always been proud to sell many Canadian-designed and Canadian-made products. To celebrate our Canadian pride along with a little Canadian 150th history, we’d like to celebrate a few of the great Canadian brands that we carry.

Pook
A classic Canadian success story: Two adult childhood friends get together over a couple of wobbly pops and next thing you know, one of them is wearing that classic red, white and grey Canadian sock on his head. Thus, the Pook Toque revolution was born! The Original Pook wool outer-material and tartan styled inside cap makes for a fun and functional winter essential.

Designed for the Canadian landscape: The Baffin Brand was born from a genuine love for Canada and its uncompromising landscapes and rugged extremities.
