Paraboot shoes are completely hand cut and hand stitched. Traditional techniques such as `Norwegian Stitch` and `Goodyear Stitch` are observed in order to achieve the highest standards in construction.
Present, nowadays, across all the continents, Paraboot has been manufacturing in France, for almost 100 years, shoes made to last and for walking as far as possible, using the strengths and skilled hands of men and women.
"Authenticity, quality and charm for a true and natural product"
Such is their motto!
By simultaneously discovering boots and latex during a visit to the Americas, Remy Richard-Ponvert, the founder of Paraboot, came upon the idea of combining the two to make quality footwear.The result is a brand with ever-increasing worldwild prestige and distribution.
Paraboot shoes are completely hand cut and hand stitched. Total loyalty to traditional techniques is as true for the `Norwegian Stitch` and `Goodyear Stitch` construction methods, as it is for the tanning process, to obtain the best leathers.
Norwegian Construction
Paraboot`s perfection of this technique, originally used for mountain boots, has made it the world leader. It offers many advantages :
- Two rows of stitching that steadfastly hold together the leather upper, the welt and the sole guarantee that the shoes will be waterproof.
- A technique that assures comfort and strength.
- A cork filling between the leather insole and the sole to assure maximum comfort and breathability.
- The possibility of resoling permits a long life for the shoes.
Goodyear Construction
Traditional construction technique for a visually refined shoe.
- A leather insole
- Waterproof construction
- A beech arch support
- A cork filling for maximum comfort and absorption.
- One row of stitching visible and one row hidden internally.
You can maximise the life of your shoes by resoling.
