Paraboot is a brand of shoes and boots made in France at a factory in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, Isère.[1] Paraboot began in Izeaux in 1908 and remains a family business, currently in the fourth generation.[2][3] Esquire magazine called its Michael derby ”perhaps the most reliably stylish shoe of all time.”[4]

Exports make up 50% of sales.[1] Paraboot is retailed by J. Crew,[5] Nordstrom, Noah, Todd Snyder,[6] Drake's ,[7] and independent menswear stores. The brand has collaborated with Engineered Garments,[8] The North Face,[9] KAPTAIN SUNSHINE,[10] Aimé Leon Dore,[11] and Drake’s.[12]
