Paraboot michaels alternative
Sorry i know this probably has been asked and yes i have used the search bar but the answers arent the one im looking for
I think the most similar one ive found is GH bass wallace super lug moc (https://www.ghbass.com/collections/mens-mocs-1/products/baz3m478c32) but its in seude and i want something leather plus the heels look a bit larger
there's also the polo ralph lauren Lug sole leather moc (https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-footwear-shoes/jett-lug-sole-leather-moc-toe-shoe/100029567.html) which is also really close but havent heard good things about RL shoes

PADROR
Made from cowhide leather from a Leather Working Group-certified Spanish tannery, the PADROR was created in the 1990s for SNCF employees. The serrated hem and fancy stitching are the identity of this iconic model.
no experience w them but plenty of ppl use them as store brand Michaels
I have these. They are very good, a touch wider than Michaels
I have Michaels and I have a pair of Gh Bass Wallace. The Wallace has a more narrow toe box which is both a bit uncomfortable for me and does not quite nail the look of Michaels. The sole is also light on the Wallace which wouldn’t bother some but I prefer a hefty sole.
I have not tried the Kleman version, but I do have the Kleman version of Paraboots Chambord and it is pretty high quality (especially for the price).
klemans are great, but if you have tall toes they will rub on the top which feels kinda funny
also these but never handled any of their stuff https://www.velasca.com/products/zibrett-ts
