FAQs
What makes the Norwegian method construction special?
The Norwegian method is a high-quality construction technique that involves stitching the upper, lining, and sole together with a dual stitch. This results in a very durable, water-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing shoe.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the durable rubber sole and quality construction offer some protection, they are primarily leather shoes. It is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. As these are leather shoes, consider that they might feel snug initially but will stretch slightly with wear. If you are between sizes, the slightly tighter fit may be preferable as the leather will give.
Is the inner footbed removable?
The product description mentions a cushioned inner footbed, but does not specify if it is removable. For custom orthotics, it's best to consult with a shoe repair specialist.
Where are Paraboot shoes made?
The Michael Griff II is handmade in France, ensuring high standards of European craftsmanship.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Yes, shoes constructed using the Norwegian method are often designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan significantly.
Do you ship Paraboot outside of the EU?
Unfortunately, due to supplier restrictions, Paraboot products can only be shipped within the European Union.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Genuine leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. This will rehydrate the leather and help reduce the appearance of creases.
Soles showing signs of wear
The durable rubber sole is designed for longevity, but if significant wear occurs, consult a professional cobbler for possible sole repair or replacement. The Norwegian construction may allow for resoling.
