"AVIGNON" is a basic U-tip shoe made with a so-called "laid-on mocha" technique, in which the vamp leather is placed on the side of the upper and sewn on.
U-tip shoes are generally considered casual shoes, but compared to the CHAMBORD, which is also a U-tip, AVIGNON has a lower instep, a longer nose, and a sleeker design, making it suitable for business situations as well.
This model is suitable for both formal and casual occasions and has been popular for many years in France, where the culture of wearing jackets is strong.
The sole uses the GRIFF II SOLE, which has a jagged pattern arranged vertically and horizontally to increase grip, and is particularly effective on wet surfaces.

-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 in Brazil.
He named the brand he founded "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.
This is how the world's only shoe manufacturer that produces its own rubber soles was born.
Paraboot shoes, which feature an original rubber sole that is durable, resistant to wear, and comfortable to wear, have been popular among ordinary workers, firefighters, postal workers, and military personnel, and have become accepted worldwide as work shoes.
They also gained a reputation as outdoor shoes after being used by 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 construction is said to have originally been developed for hiking boots.
This manufacturing method requires approximately 150 steps and produces shoes that are stronger than the Goodyear welt method.
The company currently owns factories in Iszo and Heure, France, where around 70 people produce rubber-soled, Norwegian-welted and Goodyear-welted shoes.
The company launched its "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 astounding 350,000 pairs of shoes per year.
It is no exaggeration to say that Paraboot is a brand that symbolizes French shoes in terms of both quality and quantity.
