Avoriaz: Where the Spirit of the Mountains Meets the Town
The Galibier brand originally developed and produced the Avoriaz model in the 1930s. Designed for mountaineers, this high-altitude boot proved its worth on the most challenging terrain. Revived from Paraboot’s archives in the 1990s, this boot first won over Asian customers seeking authentic products before conquering the rest of the world, which was looking for urban footwear with a mountaineering aesthetic.
The Galibier legacy combined with Paraboot's expertise
The Avoriaz, now an icon of the Paraboot boot collection, faithfully reflects Galibier’s historic technical heritage. This model is crafted with Norwegian welt construction and offers effective protection against cold and wet conditions. Combining insulation and durability, the Avoriaz is a long-lasting boot designed to be resoleable, accompanying you season after season—no matter what terrain you tackle.
Every detail of the boot has been specially designed for your comfort and to protect you from the elements:
The Hooks: 4 eyelets and 4 metal hooks for quick, precise lacing and optimal foot support.
The Gusseted Tongue: A tongue sewn into the sides that protects the foot from water, snow, and dirt.
The Padded Collar: Padded leather reinforcement at the top of the shaft to protect the Achilles tendon and provide immediate comfort.
This iconic model is especially popular at ski resorts—particularly for après-ski—since its timeless style goes with any outfit. Its treaded sole made of genuine rubber makes it a great everyday companion, providing stability and reliable traction on wet surfaces.
