История моды
Founded in 1908 by Rémy-Alexis Richard in Izeaux, France, the brand gained distinction after Richard imported natural latex from the Amazon via the port of Para. This led to the development of the signature rubber sole. Historically, Paraboot provided footwear for industrial workers and explorers. In the late 20th century, the Michael model became a cultural staple within the French middle class and later gained global significance in contemporary menswear and Japanese heritage fashion.
