Paraboot

Sukezane“I want to wear these the moment it starts snowing. ‘I’ve been waiting!’ you’ll exclaim. You’ll undoubtedly be the object of envious glances as someone who is always prepared.”

The smooth-grained leather upper is crafted using the Norwegian construction method, ensuring stable footing even on rough terrain. Made in France, Paraboot's masterpiece "AVORIAZ" combines a rugged appearance with the elegance of leather. Originally designed as mountain boots, they have gained many fans who wear them for everyday use.

Sukezane“Many people wear them for fashion, but they are truly boots that deliver peak performance on snowy or rainy days. The color is beautiful, and the details like the welt stitching and the D-rings and hooks are perfect. These are a testament to Paraboot's unwavering commitment to domestic production and traditional craftsmanship.”
