Paraboot is a French manufacturer of shoes and boots based in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, Isère. Established in 1908 by Richard-Ponvert in Izeaux, the company has remained a family-run enterprise now entering its fourth generation. The Michael derby model received acclaim from Esquire magazine, which described it as "arguably the most consistently elegant shoe ever made."

Half of Paraboot's revenue is generated through international sales. Its products are available at retailers including J. Crew, Nordstrom, Noah, Todd Snyder, Drake's, as well as various independent menswear outlets. Paraboot has partnered with prominent brands such as Engineered Garments, The North Face, KAPTAIN SUNSHINE, Aimé Leon Dore, and Drake’s.
