Interested in getting a pair of "italian" (i think) style hiker boots, love the look of the paraboot avoriaz and the viberg hiker but was curious if anyone had experience with either from a comfort/build/aesthetic perspective (i live in a city and these are not going to get much actual hiking use) - also open to other brands but in my search the danner and diemme options look marginally more "clunky" and not sure where else to look

Paraboot is probably way better option for what you get for the price. Another French brand Heschung is doing that style as well.
