Paraboot 2012 William and Chambord Shoes
Founded in 1908 in the French Alps, Paraboot is renowned for still being wholly handmade by leather
Founded in 1908 in the French Alps, Paraboot is renowned for still being wholly handmade by leather artisans — each shoe requires 150 manual operations — and for its traditional, durable Norwegian stitch construction. For the upcoming fall season, the brand has released new iterations of its William and Chambord shoes. The William, a timely double-monk strap version, provides a dose of business-casual versatility while retaining all of the time-tested qualities of the label, such as the use of premium leather and a rugged rubber sole stitched right through to the upper. The Chambord, a traditional walking shoe, features French seams and a similar rubber bottom. New for the season is the navy color for both pairs, a “nuit” colorway that veers the brand slightly further towards a more modern, on-trend aesthetic.
