PATAUGAS

Founded in 1950 by inventor René Elissabide, the French brand Pataugas reinvents the concept of all-terrain footwear. Passionate about the mountains, Elissabide imagines a soft canvas shoe with an ultra-robust high upper and unparalleled comfort specifically designed for walking and hiking. Resolutely inspired by the brodequin, a traditional canvas shoe from the Basque Country, the Pataugas shoe stands out thanks to a totally innovative European manufacturing system that involves injecting liquid rubber into the sole. The result? A lightweight pair with unique optimal comfort. Perfectly designed for lovers of walks, agricultural workers, and seasoned hikers, Pataugas shoes are as functional as they are eco-friendly. Each model is conceived for daily use, transitioning from city to countryside. Selected for their quality and low environmental impact, the leathers come from the agri-food industry and predominantly European tanneries. The brand also aims to develop plant-based textiles as well as recycled cotton. Often imitated but never equaled, Pataugas creations express the roots of the brand with modernity. Its best-seller? The Authentique ankle boot. High or low, in canvas or leather, the Authentique will follow you everywhere and adapt to both your clothing style and your lifestyle.
