Product Information

Full details

The Paraboot Michael is a legendary footwear choice for adult men seeking a blend of heritage style and practical durability. These shoes feature a supple leather upper paired with a rugged rubber lug sole, making them an excellent investment for versatile, everyday wear that transitions well between casual and smart-casual settings. A key caveat for new owners is that the traditional Norwegian-welt construction and high-quality leather require a brief break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.

FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

Yes, the combination of the Norwegian-welt construction and the rubber lug sole makes the Michael highly resistant to water, ideal for damp conditions.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a damp cloth to wipe off surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow up with a nourishing conditioner.

Should I use shoe trees?

Absolutely. Using shoe trees is essential to maintain the structural integrity of the leather and to absorb internal moisture after use.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Paraboot sizes are generally standard, but because the shoe is crafted from thick leather, it is recommended to ensure you have the correct UK size for your foot shape.

Can I resole the shoes?

Yes, thanks to the robust Norwegian-welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled by a skilled cobbler, significantly extending their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather shoes. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually break in the leather.

Minor scuffs on the leather surface

Use a matching leather cream or polish to buff out scuffs and restore the uniform color of the shoe.

Sole traction feels slick

New rubber soles can have a slight manufacturing residue; wearing them on concrete for a few hours will increase natural grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Paraboot Michael shoes last for years, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the exterior leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather hydrated and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Always use cedar or wooden shoe trees when not wearing the shoes. This helps to absorb moisture and maintain the original shape of the leather.
  4. Rotation: Allow the shoes to dry out for 24 hours between wears if they have been exposed to damp conditions.
  5. Compatibility: These shoes pair best with heavier fabrics such as denim, corduroy, or wool trousers, which complement the substantial silhouette of the Michael series.
