Paraboot's Nantes loafer is a lightweight version of their classic Reims loafer, with all the hallmarks but made slightly less chunky. With a suede upper, and a genuine vulcanised rubber sole, this shoe is made to last. It's dressy but comfortable, making it an exceptionally versatile choice. The Nantes is constructed in France by a dedicated team of skilled craftspeople; a Blake Stitch construction ensures that this loafer will take whatever you have to throw at it.

The name is a mashup of "Para" (the port they sourced their latex from) and the American "boot" that inspired Rémy early on.
