About Kaufman and Funtreads -
The Kaufman Rubber Company was founded in Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, by Jacob Kaufman and his son Alvin Ratz Kaufman. Later renamed Kaufman Footwear in 1964, they became a prominent manufacturing titan in Canadian history. The industrial giant was known globally for engineering elite utility brands, most notably introducing its world-famous Sorel line of winter boots in 1962. Their Funtreads line was released in the mid-1960s, bringing their legendary structural durability into lightweight, warm-weather footwear.
