The brand was founded by Mr. Richard who used to present his collections at the Lido, it owes its famous rubber soles to a trip to the United States in the 20s and its name to the contraction of the word “Para” (name of a port in the Amazon where latex was exported) and “boot”.
Still in the hands of the same family and made in France (Isère), Paraboot is distinguished by its soles in Goodyear and Norwegian sewn for a perfect waterproofness, the latter recalling that Paraboot has long manufactured technical shoes (skiing, skydiving, volcanism …).
