Paragon Footwear

Leading Footwear Manufacturers from India...

In the year 1975 with a production capacity of 1500 pairs a day, Paragon made its humble entry into the Indian market. Kerala, the southernmost tip of the country was home to the young brand. In the year 1982, after gaining popularity in its home state of Kerala, Paragon began its journey to the other Indian states. The company strongly believes that its greatest strength is its staff and its distributors. The company's distribution of footwear is networked through 18 depots across India. Retail shopkeepers are serviced by more than 450 distributors, delivering stocks to every corner of the country in the shortest possible time.

As a brand that sells all over the country, Paragon needs little or no introduction in the Indian sub-continent. Paragon also has an in-house footwear design team dedicated to creating new designs and models to keep up with market demand.
