The very beginnings of Paraboot were born in 1908 in the Chartreuse mountains of eastern France. Rémy-Alexis Richard, a shoemaker with aspirations beyond the hardy alpine footwear market, was making dainty, leather-soled shoes for the Parisian élite. But after witnessing the potential of rubber - at that time, a new technical material - on a 1926 trip to the US, he brought it back to France with the idea of fitting classic leather uppers with cleated rubber soles. The next year, Paraboot, named for Para, the Amazonian rubber port, was born. Paraboot is the definition of the post sneaker shoe brand of choice. No celebrity ambassadors, no garish social media campaigns, just a no-nonsense gallic charm.
