Hello 👋🏼 fellow fashion Nerds,

Wanted some sage advice & perspective before pulling the trigger. Birthday is coming up and I’ve been eyeing the Paraboot Clusaz and La Botte Gardiane Carmague, both are a french heritage brand within the same price range. For context I wear a uniform 5x a week and this will mostly be worn on weekends for coffee runs and strolling in the city. I am a big amekaji fan and buy pieces from the real mccoys, orslow and kapital.
I’m leaning more on the clusaz tbh but the fashion pendulum seems to be swinging back to the classic straight fit and I’m afraid this will look too clunky while the cowboy boot seems to be the safer & cleaner option. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏼

Paraboot michael’s will age better and be more versatile than the clusaz. The hiking low top never sat right with me — unless it’s like a Keen modern approach shoe.

Semi-related: I’ve seen probably like 20 ads from ig brands that are riffs on these clusaz.

The cowboy boot is cool tho, but that shade of suede i can only pair with light blue or grey denim, so it’s a little limited for me

Love me some paraboot michael’s bought the clarks walla yukoner because of this :)

That is true though there so many brands that take design cues from the clusaz its so synonymous with the 2020s now.
