Some shoes you buy. Some shoes you resole and keep for twenty years. Paraboot make the second kind. Every pair is still hand-lasted and stitched in their factory in the French Alps – full-grain leather uppers, thick Norwegian-stitched rubber soles. They're built without shortcuts and they show it. The Michael is where most people start. The Clusaz for something with more heft. The Malo if you need something that works in July.
