Paraboot Arles/Griff Marron-Lis Écorce
The Paraboot Arles represents over a century of French shoemaking excellence. Founded in 1908 by Rémy-Alexis Richard in Izeaux, Isère, Paraboot has become one of the last emblems of "Made in France" and sewn shoes in the footwear world. Still based in the shadow of the French Alps, the family-run business continues to craft every pair using traditional methods and premium natural materials. Named after the fortified town in the south of France, the Arles is a plain derby designed with a generous plain slap that accommodates even the strongest instep, making it one of Paraboot's most comfortable models. Crafted in Marron-Lis Écorce—a rich brown smooth calfskin leather with a bark-like depth—this derby features Norwegian welt construction and Paraboot's signature Griff II vulcanised rubber sole. The Arles combines refined elegance with everyday versatility, offering the durability and comfort that has defined Paraboot for over 115 years. As we celebrate 10 years of Burrows & Hare (2015-2025), this piece represents our shared commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design.
