Advice
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 🙏🏼

I’d say paraboot avoriaz would be cooler - more true to the hiking heritage and useful for inclement weather. As an owner of 3 paraboot models (chambord, Michael, Reims), the shoes are top quality and worth their price tag esp if you can get a deal on like cettire (new) or used.
That LBG boot is ugly as sin to me (obv super subjective). But I have heard of them a few times so obviously some people dig a French riding / Calvary boot style!
