A masterpiece of deck shoes adopted by the French Navy! What is the charm of the Paraboot “Bath”?

Characteristics of Paraboot’s “Bath” deck shoes approved by the French Navy

What are deck shoes, the design base of the Paraboot ” Barth ” to begin with?

First, let’s briefly review what kind of shoes the “deck shoes” used in the Paraboot “berth” are. Deck shoes are shoes worn on the deck of a ship such as a yacht or boat. They are designed to prevent slipping on wet decks and are an important item to protect the lives of sailors. The outsole used for deck shoes must be slip-resistant and grippy. Since the shoes are often wet, they are made of water-repellent oiled leather, a revolutionary feature that also prevents the leather from deteriorating due to moisture.

Characteristics of the “Bath” by Paraboot (1) “Leather shoelace on the side, a symbolic design of deck shoes

The leather laces on the sides, a characteristic of deck shoes, are also used in the berth. The laces are connected to the laces that tie at the instep, and go all the way around the opening of the shoe. By pulling on the laces at the instep, the heel is also linked to the laces, which is excellent for improving the overall sense of hold at once. The use of leather laces prevents the laces from becoming stiff when wet and makes them easy to put on and take off in all weather conditions.

Characteristic 2: “Leather shoes that do not cause shoe sores even if worn barefoot!

Designed to be worn with bare feet in anticipation of wet conditions, Paraboot’s deck shoes are characterized by their resistance to chafing. The side leather laces wrap around the foot for a snug fit, and the “unlined” design, in which the lining is not stretched on the inside of the shoe to ensure a soft and comfortable fit, provides a soft feel against the foot. The Baths fit your feet without any discomfort, and once you put them on, you will be captivated by their comfort. It is also great to enjoy wearing them with socks in the fall and winter, not to mention in the summer.

Characteristic 3: “The break manufacturing method that realizes the comfort of wearing shoes that seem to be absorbed by the feet” of Paraboot’s “Birse

The Bath is not made by the Norwegian method, which is used in many Paraboot models, but by the “break” method, which is designed to be worn barefoot and fit the foot. This is a manufacturing method often seen in Italian shoes, and is characterized by a U-shaped part arranged to wrap the sole of the foot and another part sewn together to close the instep. It is an ideal manufacturing method for deck shoes because it comfortably wraps the foot and enhances the sense of hold.

Characteristic 4: “The original sole of Paraboot “Marine Sole” with high grip

A slip-resistant sole is an important point for deck shoes. The Paraboot original rubber sole “MARINE” used in the Barth is characterized by its sucker-shaped tread pattern. It provides excellent grip and comfort on wet surfaces. The sound-proof, uniquely shaped, flexible sole is a very useful feature for submarine crews, which require quietness. We hope that you will experience the Paraboot berths, which are so powerful that they have been adopted by the Navy.
