About the Company
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. While rubber footwear continues to be its leading product, the Paragon
brand name brings its longstanding 
assurance of quality and durability to a full range of other
footwear products, which are made of Poly-urethane (PU), Poly Vinyl Chloride
(PVC), Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA) and Thermo Plastic Rubber (TPR) soles.
The Paragon Group of companies is considered No.1 in the organized rubber footwear sector. Catering to millions with the promise of long-lasting footwear, Paragon has grown to become the No.1 footwear brand in the country.
