help Paraboot Thiers FAQ
Is the Paraboot Thiers made in France?
Current Thiers models are made in Spain, although Paraboot is a French company founded in 1908. Paraboot uses specialist partner workshops outside France for Blake-stitched models.
What construction does the Paraboot Thiers use?
The Thiers uses Blake stitching, which joins the outsole directly through the insole and upper. This produces a lighter, more flexible shoe than Paraboot's Norwegian-welted Michael or Clusaz.
Is the Paraboot Thiers an old model or a recent design?
It is based on an original Paraboot model from the 1960s. The revived version retains a short, rounded toe, four-eyelet lacing, leather lining, and natural-rubber sole.
How does the Thiers fit compared with the Paraboot Michael?
The Thiers has a lower, lighter silhouette and a relatively short rounded toe, while the Michael feels chunkier and more structured. Paraboot lists sizes in UK sizing, so comparing its official conversion chart with a well-fitting shoe is safer than buying solely by sneaker size.
