Founded in the French Alps in 1908, Paraboot is a family-run company on its fourth generation of bootmakers. Named for the Brazilian port of Para, where Paraboot source their rubber to this day, the company is committed to using high-quality materials. The Barth, a boat shoe hand stitched in Spain using the finest leathers, was inspired by Blake stitching, a technique used by Paraboot since the late '60s. The result is a supple, elegant shoe built on a rubber sole. Deer suede upper. Rubber sole. Imported. Online only.
