Leather resoling restores your Paraboot shoes’ original elegance while preserving their structure and comfort. Performed in accordance with the brand’s specific constructions (Norwegian or Goodyear welting), this intervention is carried out identically to the original.
At Galoche et Patin, as a Paraboot authorized partner, we are able to replace your rubber or gum soles with original soles directly from the brand.
The installation of protective soles and recessed toe taps is possible on certain Paraboot models with leather soles, such as the Columbia, Adonis, or Rivoli models.
The protective sole will help protect the leather sole and provide better grip on the ground.
As with any shoe brand, we are able to replace the heel or top piece of your Paraboot pair. The replacement parts comply with the brand’s standards and ensure the same comfort as the original.
The softening process optimizes the comfort of your Paraboot shoes, particularly by increasing their width. Performed with precision, this intervention generally takes 24 to 48 hours.
Replacing the heel lining in your Paraboot shoes restores original comfort and support in the heel area.
Replacing the leather insole of your Paraboot shoes extends their lifespan while improving your comfort and the internal hygiene of your footwear.
To extend the life of your Paraboot pair, it is important to preserve the upper. For this, we have developed a 3-step care protocol to clean, nourish, and protect your Paraboot shoes.

Founded in France in 1908, Paraboot is an iconic high-end footwear brand, renowned for its artisanal expertise and uncompromising quality standards.
Unlike most brands in the sector, Paraboot still designs and manufactures most of its shoes in its own workshops in Isère. The brand also controls the production of its natural rubber soles, guaranteeing exceptional durability, comfort, and resistance.
An icon of both authentic and timeless style, Paraboot has established itself with cult models like the Michael, the Avoriaz, and the Chambord, which transcend generations without ever losing their modernity.
Combining tradition, technical innovation, and functional elegance, Paraboot embodies a sustainable vision of luxury: shoes designed to last, develop a patina over time, and accompany their owners for many years.
Common steps to repair a Paraboot include resoling, heel repair, replacing top pieces, and installing linings. Disassembling the shoe to replace worn parts is crucial. A good resole can revive the sole and extend the shoe’s lifespan.
Paraboot shoe repair generally takes between 2 to 5 business days for common repairs. For more complex interventions like resoling, it can take approximately 10 days. An express option can reduce the turnaround time to one business day for an additional fee.
Paraboot uses Norwegian welting, which attaches the upper to the sole with two visible stitches, and Goodyear welting, which shows a single stitch and allows for resoling. These techniques ensure waterproofing, durability, and resoling capability. They are performed by hand to guarantee quality and strength.
