The history of Paraboot
Paraboot was founded in 1908 in Izeaux under the name “chaussure extra.” Its creator, Rémi-Alexis Richard, registered the name in 1927.
During a trip to the United States, he discovered rubber on the famous boots trending across the American continent. It turned out to be a very durable material, which gave the creator of Paraboot an idea.
He decided to create leather shoes with rubber soles: the first Paraboot models were born. The name is a combination of “Para,” referring to an Amazonian port from which latex is exported, and “boot,” the shoe discovered in the United States.
Over the decades, Paraboot expanded its range: Paraboot Azay, Paraboot Michael, Paraboot Bergerac, etc.
How to care for your shoes?
Here are a few tips to make your shoes last.
The first step is to avoid wearing the same shoes several days in a row. Remember to rotate your pairs.
Store your shoes in a dry, well-ventilated space away from light. Use shoe trees so your shoes don’t lose their shape; they also help absorb moisture.
The second tip is about applying the right products daily to maintain your Paraboot leather.
To nourish smooth leathers, apply a special leather cream such as Saphir Universal Cream. Rub in small concentric circles with your cloth or polishing rag and finish by buffing with a brush.
For suede or nubuck, use a waterproof spray for daily protection and a specialized brush to remove dust and maintain the density of the suede fibers.
