Artisanal Mastery in Every Stitch
The Reims reflects the enduring "saga of the Workers," honoring the manual professions that demand technical excellence and precision. By blending the ease of a slip-on with the construction of a heavy-duty derby, Paraboot created a shoe that celebrates the love of a job well-done and the transmission of ancestral knowledge. This "Worker" aesthetic is evident in the visible welt and substantial profile, ensuring the Reims is a functional tool for the modern wardrobe, built to transcend seasonal trends.
The Lisse Cafe leather used for the Reims is a premium "Suportlo" oiled calfskin, renowned for its exceptional suppleness and rich depth of color. This leather is mounted using a traditional Norwegian Welt, a construction method involving two rows of stitching that ensures the shoe remains entirely waterproof and structurally sound for a lifetime. The authentic Marche rubber sole is vulcanized in-house, providing a cushioned step and high-performance grip that makes the Reims a reliable companion for any journey.
