==History==
In 1973, Don Green and Michael Budman founded Roots, initially a footwear company that sold the Negative Heel Shoes, before expanding their product offering. The Kowalewski family and their family business, the Boa Shoe Company, were the first makers of "Negative Heel Shoes", which became the defining product of Roots. Roots opened its first store on Yonge St. near the Rosedale subway station, in Toronto, Canada in August 1973. A couple of months later, Roots bought the Boa Shoe Company and opened their first leather factory.〔Ryval, Michael, “Roots firmly planted,” Toronto Life, Mar 1977, p.113, p.115〕 Towards the end of the year, Roots had stores in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and a few locations in the U.S.〔Toronto Life, March 1977, p. 115.〕
