Stylish Black Leather Loafers Featuring Coraux Rubber Soles

Description

THE BRAND

Paraboot is an iconic French footwear brand with over a century of experience in high-end shoemaking. Founded in 1908 in Izeaux, a small village at the foot of the French Alps, this family-owned Maison built its reputation on an unwavering commitment to traditional craftsmanship combined with a quietly innovative approach to design. Every pair of Paraboot shoes carries the weight of that heritage — and the lightness of a shoe made to be worn every day.

DETAILS

The Coraux is Paraboot’s most versatile and beloved loafer — a refined moccasin that draws its inspiration from the classic boat shoe silhouette and translates it into something altogether more polished. With its traditional last, slightly rounded toe and clean piped seam construction, the Coraux strikes the rare balance between casual ease and considered elegance.

This version pairs the Coraux upper with the Raid sole — a chunkier, more assertive outsole that adds visual weight and a bolder, more contemporary character to the silhouette. The upper is crafted in Foulonne Noir, Paraboot’s signature tumbled nubuck leather sourced from European tanneries, prized for its supple texture, natural grain and exceptional durability. The unlined construction keeps the shoe lightweight and breathable, while the Blake stitching — a technique invented in 1858 that sews the upper, insole and outsole together in a single pass — delivers flexibility and a streamlined profile that improves with every wear.

The result is a luxury French loafer built for life: at home equally with tailored trousers, denim or a linen suit.

SIZE & FIT

• Regular fit
• The traditional European last may feel slightly narrow for wider feet; trying both sizes is advised if you are between sizes

CARE

• Apply a nubuck protective spray before first use to guard against moisture and staining
• Use a soft nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt after wear
• For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated nubuck or suede cleaner
• Store on shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture between wears
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the leather’s natural colour
