Paraboot

Founded by Rémy-Alexis Richard in 1908, Paraboot shoes are still made in France today. No fewer than 150 manual operations are required to produce them, just as many as in 1908, when the company had just a handful of employees.

During the course of its history, the family company has chosen to maintain the more complicated construction methods, such as “Norwegian construction” and “Goodyear construction”, passing on the values that have made the company’s reputation – comfort, impeccable finish and timeless appeal.

Paraboot still manufactures most of its soles from rubber, and has done so since 1927, when Rémy Richard first began to use natural rubber to make soles. This is an exception in the world of shoes.
