Chambord

The Chambord features a five-eyelet derby construction with a smooth leather upper and pinched upper design. The shoe is distinguished by its golf toe pattern with 45-degree stitching across the apron, a design element exclusive to Paraboot footwear. The Chambord is the only model in the company's collection with a non-serrated sole.

The Chambord is built using Norwegian welt construction, which provides waterproof strength and durability by stitching the upper to a welt that is then stitched to the sole. Each pair requires 150 manual operations to complete. The shoe uses a natural rubber sole made from Para-Tex rubber, the same material Paraboot has manufactured in-house since 1927. The construction method makes the Chambord particularly suitable for narrow feet.

The upper is crafted from full-grain calfskin leather sourced from French tanneries. During the tanning process, the leather is impregnated with tannins, waxes, oils and fats to enhance strength and water resistance. The premium full-grain leather develops a natural patina over time with wear. The shoe features leather lining throughout the interior.

The Chambord is manufactured at Paraboot's factory in Saint-Jean-de-Moirans, Isère, located in Southeast France near the French Alps. In 2017, production moved to a new 11,000 square meter facility at this location. Around 100 workers are involved in production, with 80 percent of the company's manufacturing carried out at the Saint-Jean-de-Moirans factory. The company sources 77 percent of its raw materials from France and exports 67 percent of its production internationally.
