Reasons why the PACIFIC sandals by Paraboot are so popular: “A design that combines the functionality of sandals with a dressy atmosphere.
One of the reasons why the Pacific is an appropriate summer footwear is the design of the upper, which is dressy despite being a sandal. The upper is gently intertwined with thick, wide leather laces that wrap around the instep from the sides and are carefully calculated to prevent the fingertips from popping out. The structure has three rows of trapezoidal figures floating in the center, and the exposed skin area increases from the toes to the ankles, ensuring a cool and refreshing feeling. The upper is made of leather with excellent breathability to prevent stuffiness. The short length is curved at the ankle, making it difficult for the ankle to be touched and preventing shoe chafing. The ankle strap is designed to prevent the ankle from slipping forward. The ankle straps are buckle-fastened and can be adjusted to five different sizes.
The heel cups are designed like dress shoes and have a neat form. The heel cup has a core material that grips the heel firmly, so even if you wear them loosely, the sense of hold is maintained.
The use of a rubber part on the back of the buckle is also noteworthy. The strap type tends to give the impression of being troublesome to put on and take off, but because the part connecting the belt to the leather is elastic, it is easy to put on and take off without having to adjust each time, allowing the wearer to wear them as if they were slip-on shoes. The entire foot is secured in place, making it easy to walk, and details that only Paraboot, with its focus on practicality, can provide are scattered throughout. Since the skin can be seen just enough, it is possible to arrange them with colorful socks in the fall.

Reason for the support of Paraboot “PACIFIC” (2) “Beautiful and functional upper by squirrel leather
The upper material of the Paraboots uses “LISSE LEATHER,” which can be called the icon of the brand. LISSE LEATHER is a unique leather used for most of Paraboot’s leather shoes, and is characterized by its thick calf leather with high durability that is soaked in a lot of oil. It contains more oil than regular cowhide, which has the property of repelling water, and thus has achieved a level of water repellency that allows it to be used in light rain without problems. Even though rainy days are not uncommon during the season when Gurkha sandals are worn, leather is a great enemy of water. Sandals are supposed to be practical, but if they have to avoid water, their appeal is halved. Pacific has solved this problem by using squirrel leather, which can be worn not only on slightly rainy days, but also during summer activities such as rivers and the ocean.
The water repellency is not the only benefit of Paraboot’s squirrel leather. The original luster unique to oiled leather is also an attractive feature. The beauty of squirrel leather is so great that it has been called ” the jewel of France. In addition to using high-quality calf, Paraboot is particular about cutting the leather by identifying areas that are free of vein marks and scars. The material has an elegant luster that cannot be compared to common glass processing or cheap leather with oil added to it.

There is also a model in vegetable tannin leather!
Paraboot is famous for its squirrel leather, but other leathers have different charms. In addition to squirrel leather, Pacific also offers models in vegetable tanned leather. This process, also known as vegetable tanning, uses tannin extracted from natural plants such as grass and tree juice to tan the leather. The tanning process involves more than 30 steps as the tannin concentration is gradually increased. Because of the time-consuming manufacturing process, the more the leather is used, the more it becomes familiar, and it can be developed to your liking, including dirt and stains. The leather’s softness and deepening of flavor are its greatest characteristics. The coloring of the leather is also very good, which gives it a summery look.
