About Paraboot: Paraboot is a leather shoe brand from France. Its history began in 1908 when Rémy Richard-Pontvert, a leather cutter, opened a shoe workshop. Later, in 1919, inspired by rubber shoes he encountered during his stay in America, he started producing "Paraboot" boots with rubber soles. Initially, they mainly produced mountaineering boots and military boots, but in recent years, they have gained high popularity in Japan as a representative brand of business casual shoes. The "BARTH" model is a standard model in France, becoming the official shoes of the French Navy. The lining is nubuck, and the "MARINE" sole, specially designed for deck shoes, is famous for being officially adopted by the French Navy and is slip-resistant, so you don't have to worry about bad weather. The sole is also designed to be non-slip on wet decks, and the heel is equipped with a kicker bag that allows you to take them off without using your hands. The traditional moccasin construction is sewn in a bag shape to provide a snug fit, assuming they will be worn barefoot.
