The history of the Paraboot Clusaz is rooted in the technical expeditions of the mid-20th century, where its predecessors served as essential survival gear in the French Alps. This revisited version maintains the rugged DNA of those original mountain boots—such as the wrap-over tongue for added protection and the iconic metal hardware—but delivers it in a versatile silhouette for the contemporary explorer. It is a testament to the "Worker" philosophy, where high-quality raw materials and human skill converge to create leather shoes that transcend simple utility.
The Lisse Ecorce leather used in this Clusaz is a premium full-grain hide, specifically chosen for its durability and unique ability to develop a beautiful character over time. This noble material is supported by the rare Norwegian Welt construction, a technique in which Paraboot shoes are a world leader. This assembly method uses a double row of stitching to provide total waterproofing, making the Clusaz a reliable walking shoe in harsh winter conditions and a sophisticated casual shoe on city streets. Underfoot, the authentic vulcanized rubber sole offers unparalleled comfort and grip, ensuring these shoes are built for life's journey.
