Michael, Lis Noir

The Michael is arguably the most definitive silhouette in the Paraboot archive. Originally released in 1945 to commemorate the birth of Michael Richard, this shoe has earned a reputation for exceptional longevity. Each pair is handcrafted in France using the traditional Norwegian welt construction, a technique that ensures a robust, water-resistant bond between the waxy Lis leather upper and the heavy-duty rubber sole. This specific leather is selected for its high oil content, allowing it to develop a characterful patina while resisting the elements. It remains a highly sought-after staple for those who value functional heritage.
