Paraboot Athenes (Sport Miel / Vel Gres)

The Athens by Paraboot is a new rendition of the Adriatic mule and has been equipped with a welded sports sole, also known as a "wedge and cramp" sole. The upper is glued directly onto the sole. Advanced assembly processes make it possible to produce lighter and visually sleeker shoes. Together with a suede upper, this results in a very soft and comfortable sandal.

Paraboot insoles, heels and soles are still produced and vulcanized with the same composition as in the past. Therefore, the rubber achieves the best material and mechanical properties in terms of comfort, adaptability and wear resistance. Paraboot's rubber compounds originate in France and are vulcanized in the company's own factory in Saint Jean de Moirans on its own presses.

The Paraboot factories are located in Saint Jean de Moirans, in the heart of the French Alps. Long before "Made in France" became a trend, Paraboot was a traditional company committed to social and ethical responsibility. For more than 100 years, Paraboot has been dedicated to preserving its artisanal production equipment and know-how. Richard-Pontvert has been awarded the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" (Living Heritage Company) label.

Made in France.
