Paraboot makes footwear with a practical character that comes from sturdy shapes, stitched construction and the brand’s long association with rubber soles. The range covers formal and casual styles rather than sitting in only one part of the wardrobe.
Oxford shoes give the cleanest and most formal look. Derby shoes are more relaxed because of their open lacing and include many of the chunkier shapes associated with the brand. Penny loafers offer a slip-on alternative, while boots add more coverage for colder weather and casual outfits.
Start with the type of shoe that suits the way you dress, then compare the shape, material and sole. Paraboot’s heavier rubber-soled styles work especially well with chinos, denim, corduroy and flannel, while cleaner shapes can also be worn with tailored trousers.
