Created just after World War II by the Richard-Pontvert family's second generation, this classic model features two eyelets with strong laces, thick leather with a protective seam, sturdy stitching, a comfortable insole, and a natural rubber sole. Named after Michel Richard, the company’s current Chairman, its anglicized name, Michael, reflects its lasting legacy.
This model incorporates a Norwegian welt construction, a technique in which the upper is stitched to the sole using a welt, leaving both seams exposed. Paraboot, recognized as a global leader in this method, employs this hand-stitching to deliver footwear that is exceptionally durable, comfortable, and fully waterproof.
Each pair of Paraboot shoes is crafted from high-quality raw materials by artisans with exceptional expertise. For greater longevity, discover our care instructions, which can be adapted to your frequency of use.
Universal Works X Paraboot
The Paraboot Michael showcases a unique silhouette blending suede and contrasting leather details, complete with removable tassels for adaptable wear. It merges Paraboot's timeless French design with a subtle UK influence from Universal Works creating the perfect blend of aesthetics.
