The Paraboot Malo is a shoe that encapsulates the essence of traditional craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from the Blake construction of Native American moccasins. This technique, employed by Paraboot since the 1960s, utilizes hand stitching and the finest leathers to ensure a perfect blend of softness and elegance.

Key features include a traditional fit with a slightly rounded toe, meticulously crafted in Spain, renowned for its excellence in the footwear industry. The Blake construction, lined with leather, offers a sturdy and durable build, while the natural rubber sole provides excellent grip and comfort.

The Blake construction technique, characterized by visible stitching, originated in 1858 thanks to the ingenuity of Leeman Reed Blake, a young cobbler employed by the sewing machine manufacturer Singer. This innovation revolutionized the footwear industry, offering softer and lighter shoes.

The Paraboot Malo is a simple derby shoe with two eyelets and a leather lining, featuring internal and external Blake stitching on a genuine rubber sole. Handcrafted with mastery in Spain, each pair represents timeless artisanal excellence.
