Collection: Paraboot

Paraboot occupies a unique position between utility and tradition. Founded in 1908, the brand became known for producing robust footwear using Norwegian and Goodyear construction. The Michael shoe, with its chunky profile and rubber sole, remains its defining model. Production continues largely in France, preserving techniques that prioritise durability and function. Paraboot is often cited as an outlier in European shoemaking for resisting refinement in favour of honesty. Its appeal lies in footwear that embraces practicality while ageing with character.
