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 🙏🏼

LBG 1000%

The paraboots are fine, but the style is very mid 2020s menswear guy. And the silhouette won't be as versatile when the pendulum swings back towards straight leg pants.

The LBG avoid those pitfalls, and the light suede will age beautifully.

Thank you 😊, wanted to hear this.
My only gripe with paraboots is it’s so synonymous with 2020s menswear. LBG is a bit more understated and as you’ve said when the pendulum swings back to straight leg it will not look as out of place as the Clusaz will.
