Paraboot's classic Tyrolean "MICHAEL" shoes.
While the design is traditional, the model has not changed for more than 70 years since its birth, and it is the most popular long-selling model in the world that matches the modern style.
The robust Norwegian manufacturing process has been maintained, and the relaxed and cool "RAPHIA" material has been used to create this model.
Calf leather is used for the mocca, footwear opening, and heel to increase strength and durability.
The original "ARIO SOLE" sole, produced in-house, provides excellent flexibility and cushioning for a comfortable fit.

-Paraboot
Paraboot was founded in 1927 by Remy Richard Ponvert, a shoemaker from the Voirons region of France, after he acquired a pair of rubber-covered boots in the United States, where he was staying.
Inspired by the rubber boots, he came up with the idea of using natural latex, which was directly imported from the Brazilian port of Pará, for the sole material of his shoes.
He named his own brand "PARABOOT," after the port from which it was exported.
He developed a unique rubber synthesis method using para rubber as the raw material and obtained a patent for it.
Thus, the world's only shoe manufacturer that produces its own rubber soles is born.
With their original rubber soles, which were robust, abrasion-resistant, and comfortable to wear, Paraboot shoes were favored by general laborers, firefighters, mail carriers, and military personnel, and were accepted as work shoes by the world.
They also gained status as outdoor shoes when they were used by adventurers such as Arctic explorer Paul Emile Victor.
The Norwegian Welt method, which allows the shoes to be worn in all weather conditions, became Paraboot's specialty, and along with rubber soles, became a symbolic technique of the brand.
The Norwegian welt method was originally developed for mountaineering shoes.
This method requires about 150 steps and makes shoes more robust than the Goodyear welt method.
Currently, the company owns factories in Izaud and Huret, France, and about 70 people at these two factories produce shoes with rubber soles and Norveigian or Goodyear welted soles.
The "dress line" using French Dupuis box calf, etc., which started in the spring/summer of 2005, deck shoes made by the Causses Braque method, driving shoes, sandals and slip-ons made by the Vulcanize method, etc., are all produced. In total, 350,000 pairs of shoes are produced in a year.
In terms of quality and quantity, it is no exaggeration to say that Paraboot is the symbolic brand of French shoes.
