Paraboot
Paraboot builds its identity around substantial leather shoes. The French-made Michael pairs a generous rounded shape, Norwegian stitching and a rubber sole.

Get to know Paraboot.
The Michael takes its name from a family event: Paraboot links the model to Michel Richard’s birth in 1945. Its broad rounded shape has remained central to the shoe’s character. In the Foul Fauve version, leather lining, Norwegian stitching and a rubber sole give the derby a substantial construction. It is a useful way into a house whose footwear is understood as much through the way it is assembled as through its silhouette.
