"BARTH" is based on the deck shoes that were delivered to the French Navy's submarine unit.
They are also called deck or boat shoes because they are used on the deck of a ship such as a yacht or boat.
Deck shoes are often available in marine-themed colors, but these have a more modern look. The soft material also feels good on your feet and is comfortable to wear right from the start.
Combining a simple design with high-quality materials, these standard deck shoes are a timeless masterpiece.

-Paraboot-
The company was founded in 1927 when Remy Richard-Pontvert, a shoemaker from the Voiron region of France, acquired a pair of rubber-covered boots while staying in the United States.
Inspired by rubber boots, the idea was to create shoes with soles made from natural latex imported directly from the port of Para, Brazil.
He named his new brand "PARABOOT," after the name of the export port.
We developed a unique rubber synthesis method using para rubber as a raw material and obtained a patent for it.
Thus was born the world's only shoe manufacturer that produces its own rubber soles.
Paraboot shoes, featuring an original rubber sole that is durable, resistant to wear, and comfortable to wear, have been popular among general laborers, firefighters, postal workers, and military personnel, and have come to be accepted by the world as work shoes.
They also gained a reputation as outdoor shoes because they were popular with adventurers such as Arctic explorer Paul-Emile Victor.
The Norwegian welt method, which allows shoes to be worn in all weather conditions, has become Paraboot's specialty and, along with the rubber sole, has become one of the brand's signature techniques.
The Norwegian welt method is said to have originally been developed for hiking boots.
This method requires approximately 150 steps and produces shoes that are more durable than the Goodyear welt method.
The company currently owns factories in Iszo and Hure in France, where around 70 employees produce rubber-soled, Norwegian-welted and Goodyear-welted shoes.
The company launched the "dress line" in spring/summer 2005 using French Dupuy box calf leather, and produces deck shoes and driving shoes made using the Cause Blac method, as well as sandals and slip-ons made using the vulcanized method. Combining all of these categories, the company produces an astonishing 350,000 pairs of shoes per year.
In terms of both quality and quantity, it is no exaggeration to say that Paraboot is a brand that symbolizes French shoes.
