Paraboot.

Produced in the French Alps for over 100 years using artisan techniques, Paraboot are known for their chunky Norwegian welted construction, the luxury leathers they use and their traditional production methods. (And for how easy they are to style.)

Michael.

The Michael—80 years old this year—has become a cult classic the world over. The ideal blend of luxury and versatility, with a chunky rubber sole, piped seams, hand-stitching, and they are laced with two eyelets.

Thiers.

The Thiers are an original style from the ’60s, making its welcome return to modern wardrobes. With a moccasin-like design, these are made with a chunky lugged rubber sole, slightly rounded toe, tonal stitching and four-eyelet laces.

Reims.

A chunky loafer, the Reims are inspired by Paraboot’s iconic Michael shoe. Solid but breathable, these are that ideal mix of formal and casual. These are made with Paraboot’s classic lugged sole and piped seams, and with penny loafer detailing.
