Paraboot

Founded in 1908 in Izeaux, France, Paraboot is a footwear brand built on craftsmanship and durability. Its founder, Rémy-Alexis Richard, introduced rubber soles to traditional shoemaking, a detail that has become the brand’s hallmark. Launched in 1945, the Michael model embodies a balance of utility and refinement, remaining a timeless icon across generations. Today, every pair is still handmade in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, where traditional techniques meet modern design to carry forward the brand’s enduring legacy.
