AVIGNON is a basic U-tip shoe made with vamp leather on the side of the upper and sewn together, so-called a mocha.
U-tip shoes are generally classified as casual shoes, but AVIGNON has a lower instep and a longer nose than CHAMBORD, which has the same U-tip, so it is suitable for business situations.
This model is expected to be useful both on and off duty, and has been popular for many years in France, where there is a strong culture of wearing jackets.
The sole uses "GRIFF II SOLE". The jagged pattern arranged vertically and horizontally increases grip and is effective on wet roads.

-Paraboot-
The company was founded in 1927 by Remy Richard Pontvert, a shoemaker from the Voiron region of France, who acquired a pair of rubber-covered boots while staying in the United States.
Inspired by rubber boots, we came up with a shoe that uses natural latex as the sole material, which was imported directly from the port of Para in Brazil.
He named the brand he launched ``PARABOOT'' after the name of the export port.
Developed and patented a unique rubber synthesis method using pararubber as raw material.
In this way, we became the only shoe manufacturer in the world that manufactures rubber soles in-house.
Paraboots, which are sturdy, resistant to abrasion, and feature an original rubber sole that provides a comfortable fit, were popular among general workers, firefighters, mail carriers, and soldiers, and were accepted by the world as work shoes. .
In addition, it gained its status as an outdoor shoe as it was used by adventurers such as Arctic explorer Paul Emile Victor.
The Norwegian welt construction, which can be worn in all weather conditions, has become Paraboot's specialty, and along with the rubber sole, it has become a symbol of the brand.
The Norwegian welt manufacturing method is said to have originally been developed for mountain climbing shoes.
This manufacturing method requires approximately 150 steps and can make shoes more durable than the Goodyear welt method.
Currently, we have factories in Isault and Hulet, France, and approximately 70 people work at these two factories to produce shoes with rubber soles, Norwegian construction, or Goodyear construction.
In the spring/summer of 2005, we started producing "dress line" using box calfs from France's Dupuis, deck shoes and driving shoes made using the cause braque method, sandals and slip-ons made using the vulcanized method, and when all these categories are combined, A whopping 350,000 pairs of shoes are produced each year.
It is no exaggeration to say that Paraboots is a brand that symbolizes French shoes in terms of quality and quantity.
