Galibier is a French mountain-boot maker with roots in serious alpine footwear—built for grip, stability, and long wear in demanding terrain. Today, as part of the Paraboot universe, the brand carries that heritage forward through robust, traditional construction and a distinctly functional aesthetic: substantial leathers, protective shapes, and soles designed to take abuse while staying comfortable over time.
The signature is a no-nonsense approach to making shoes. Uppers are typically cut from thick, durable leather chosen to handle weather and abrasion, with practical details like supportive ankle patterns, reinforced panels, and hardware that’s meant for real use. Underfoot, Galibier leans on proven mountain-boot sole profiles—lugged, high-traction options that feel confident on wet pavement, gravel, and uneven ground, which is exactly why these styles have become so appealing in the city as well as outdoors.
