A classic French-made derby with a sturdy Norwegian welt
Paraboot’s Chambord is crafted in France using a Norwegian welt, a technique typically reserved for mountain boots, where the upper is attached to the sole using a double row of stitches with waxed thread. The result is a super durable, weather-resistant construction that can be resoled several times over. The Chambord is a testament to time-honored craftsmanship, exemplified by its unique 45-degree toe cap stitching—a detail that very few shoemakers can execute.
