Today, “outdoor” style is making a major comeback, bringing an authentic and rugged character to city silhouettes.
Avoriaz: when mountain spirit meets the city
The Galibier brand originally developed and produced the Avoriaz model in the 1930s. Designed for mountaineering enthusiasts, this high-altitude approach shoe proved its worth on the most demanding terrains. Released from our archives in the 1990s, this boot first captured the hearts of our Asian clientele in search of authentic products, before conquering the rest of the world looking for city pieces with a mountain look.
Galibier codes paired with Paraboot expertise
Now an icon of our boot collection, the Avoriaz faithfully reflects Galibier’s historical technical codes. Crafted using Norwegian welting, this model provides an effective barrier against cold and dampness. Combining insulation and sturdiness, the Avoriaz is a durable shoe designed to be resoled, accompanying you season after season, whatever the terrain.
Every detail of the boot has been engineered for your comfort and protection against the elements:
- The hooks: 4 eyelets and 4 metal hooks for fast, precise lacing and optimal foot support.
- The bellows tongue: A tongue stitched on the sides to isolate the foot from water, snow, and debris.
- The padded collar: Padded leather reinforcement at the top of the shaft to protect the Achilles tendon and ensure immediate comfort.
The versatile boot to face winter
This iconic model is highly popular in ski resorts, particularly for après-ski, thanks to its timeless style that complements any outfit. Its genuine rubber lugged soles are true everyday allies, providing stability and a reliable grip on wet surfaces.
Whether strolling on city cobblestones or snowy paths, the shoe adapts to your style. The black boot (Avoriaz Lisse Noir) commands a characterful look. In the brown version (Lisse Écorce), it becomes softer and more natural. Balancing elegance and technicality, the Avoriaz is the quintessential versatile shoe, a winter season must-have.
