Chambord — Lisse Noir, Rubber Sole

Paraboot’s Chambord gives the black derby a recognisable apron seam stitched at 45 degrees. The rounded toe and substantial rubber sole keep the profile grounded, while leather lining and Norwegian stitching define the construction. Made in France, the Lisse Noir version uses a smooth black surface that makes the seam work visible. Paraboot describes this form as suitable for finer feet, an important distinction from choosing only by the shoe’s substantial appearance.
