Product Information

Full details

The Paraboot Michael shoe is designed for individuals seeking timeless style and durability in footwear. The key benefit is its robust construction, combining heritage craftsmanship with lasting quality. A possible caveat is that the initial break-in period may require some time for the leather to soften and conform to the foot. The Michael shoe is a moccasin-style Derby, handmade in France with the Norwegian Welt technique, known for its longevity and ability to be resoled. It features a leather upper, leather lining, and a durable rubber sole, making it suitable for daily wear.

FAQs

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Paraboot size chart and measure your feet carefully. Consider the type of socks you will wear.

What is Norwegian Welt construction?

It's a method of attaching the sole to the upper, making the shoe very durable and water-resistant, and allowing for resoling.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if you wear the shoes often or live in a dry climate.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The shoes are somewhat water-resistant, but it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Apply a leather protector spray for added water resistance.

How do I clean the rubber soles?

Use a brush with soap and water to clean the rubber soles. Ensure they are completely dry before storing or wearing the shoes.

Where are Paraboot Michael shoes made?

They are handmade in France.

What type of leather is used?

The upper is made of smooth calf leather.

Are they true to size?

Paraboot sizing can vary. It is recommended to try the shoes on or consult a size chart.

Troubleshooting

Leather Creasing

Leather creasing is normal with wear. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shoe's shape and minimize creases when not in use.

Sole Wear

The soles will wear down over time. Have them resoled by a professional cobbler to extend the life of the shoes.

Leather Discoloration

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for the leather type. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility

Care

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner's instructions.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  4. Resoling: Take your shoes to a professional cobbler for resoling when the sole wears down. This will extend the life of your Paraboot Michael shoes.
  5. Waterproofing: Apply a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.
