Paraboot takes the classic deck shoe and gives it some serious backbone. Built with a chunky, lugged rubber sole, this pair is designed to handle concrete pavements just as easily as a wooden deck. The rich, deep brown leather has a beautiful pull-up quality that will only get better as you scuff them up and break them in. They are constructed using a traditional Blake stitch, meaning they are lightweight and flexible right out of the box while remaining incredibly durable. The leather laces thread through the collar for that authentic maritime feel, but the heavy tread underneath keeps them firmly rooted in modern streetwear. You might notice a slight powdery white film on the leather when they arrive. Don't panic—it is just natural preservative wax rising to the surface to protect the leather during transit. A quick wipe with a damp cloth or some polish will buff it right off, revealing the deep shine beneath.
