Paraboot Michael/Marche - Marron Grain

There is a reason this moc-toe style is a cult design. It has been the backbone of French footwear for decades, blending a rugged outdoor heritage with a chunky, distinct silhouette that looks just as good on London pavements as it does in the Alps. The heavy grain marron leather has a beautiful, textured finish that only gets better as it beats up and moulds to your feet. Built using the traditional Norwegian welt construction, these are highly weather-resistant and practically indestructible. The thick rubber Marche sole provides serious cushioning, making them incredibly comfortable once you have done the initial break-in. You will notice a faint white powdery coating on the leather when they arrive. Do not panic—it is just natural preservative wax used to protect the grain during transit, and it wipes off easily with a damp cloth or a quick buff. Pair them with heavy denim or wide-leg trousers.
