PARABOOT APPRECIATION THREAD 2018 - NEWS, PICTURES, CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES, ETC.

Does anyone know whether Paraboots do seasonal sales? I'd like to buy a pair of Avoriaz as I want some nice winter boots for my apres-ski in the coming weeks, sales season have started but I don't see anything as of yet?

Not saying that you will never see Paraboot on sale but it's quite rare. I've only ever seen a small handful of stockists/retailers include Paraboot in their seasonal sales.

Cettire had a Paraboot blowout end of 2020, although I cannot recommend them as a merchant. I think they pull the same supply as Italist, who I also can't really recommend.

Julian Fashion had 40% off a bunch of models in late 2022 but I don't believe the Avoriaz was one of them. Was mostly Reims & Michaels.

I noticed this about these two merchants this year, both Cettire and Italist had relatively big sales on Paraboot. For what it's worth the Avoriaz is on sale at Cettire: the classic color less so than this black style. Have you had poor experiences with them @whorishconsumer?

Tyroleans are mountain boots, though.

I have yes, a couple years apart. Italist had a defective backpack I bought from them which they wouldn't accept a return or compensate for (another piece just broke off recently after minimal use). Cettire was more recent and far worse. Bought some sunglasses which arrived in banged-up packaging and they never acknowledged the return. Had to go through the payment vendor to get the refund and it took over two months.

Well this makes me glad I didn't buy a pair of Paraboots I was eyeing on both sites earlier this season.

Farfetch has lots of paraboots on sale quite frequently

I got a pair from this sale. No problems, were great to deal with.

I literally see paraboots on sale all the time.

They are also basically at a sale price all the time if you are from the US and buy them from Europe and the UK because they are much cheaper overseas.

I did notice a wide variety of prices across the net for US and AUS market. Some are super expensive and go for 600+ USD , while some sizes do go on sale (at certain stockists) and then go to near 400USD or even under. Very weird pricing.

I'm based in EU and currently at Paraboots E-shop, they go for 485EUR (= approx. 520USD), so not as expensive as in US it seems, but I have had no luck in finding it on sale within EU besides 1 store in Rome through Yoox (sadly, not my size) . So RRP in US/AUS is much more expensive but on the other hand... discounts are more available. Sadly, buying it at discounted US/AUS prices will result in same EU price due to taxes. This is why I wondered whether the official (EU) site will run seasonal sales.

Would love to hear which store / stores. Some UK stores won't ship overseas (as in North America). I think Paraboots has some sort of restrictions on them.

I’ve yet to have a shop not ship paraboot.

son of stag, trunk, kafka, clutch cafe, hip. I could go one but literally any store. Google and dig around. Cheap paraboots everywhere.
