Derby Michael in leather

Paraboot is a French shoe maison with roots at the end of the nineteenth century, when Rémy-Alexis Richard started his business in the Izeaux district, at the foot of the Alps. Over more than a century, the company has remained tied to the family and to the production of sturdy, comfortable, and repairable shoes. The name Paraboot recalls the Brazilian port of Pará, linked to the origin of natural latex, and the “boots” observed by Richard during a trip to the United States.

The brand is one of the historical interpreters of French sewn shoes. Norwegian and Goodyear work, selected leathers, and rubber soles make up part of its technical heritage; Paraboot still directly produces most of its rubber soles, an activity started in 1927. The maison is also recognized as Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, a French certification dedicated to companies that preserve manufacturing skills of particular value. Today the main activities are gathered in the Saint-Jean-de-Moirans plant, where the maison continues to preserve skills related to sewn shoes.

The Paraboot selection on Setaccio is focused on the Barth model and summer shoes Made in France. The Barth is offered in leather, deer leather, and suede, maintaining the construction of a nautical moccasin and an informal but refined style. Alongside the boat shoe is a handcrafted cowhide leather sandal, interpreting the same attention to material in an even more relaxed form.

Paraboot on Setaccio therefore represents a French shoe based on durability, comfort, and manufacturing culture. It is an offer for those looking for moccasins and summer shoes capable of combining authenticity, quality materials, and a discreet aesthetic, designed to be used for a long time.
