FAQs

What type of leather is used for the Paraboot Thiers?

The Paraboot Thiers features a premium leather upper and a full leather lining, ensuring both durability and comfort.

How should I clean my Paraboot Thiers shoes?

Wipe them regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, followed by appropriate shoe polish.

What does 'Blake stitched construction' mean?

Blake stitching is a method where the upper, insole, and sole are stitched together directly from the inside. This results in a lighter, more flexible shoe with a sleek profile, offering comfort and durability.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the genuine rubber sole offers good grip, the premium leather upper is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally, stuffed with newspaper.

Where are Paraboot Thiers shoes made?

The Paraboot Thiers shoes are expertly crafted in Spain, reflecting high standards of European shoemaking.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using cedar shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry.

The premium leather requires hydration. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth, allowing it to absorb before buffing gently. Regular conditioning (every few weeks) will prevent dryness and maintain the leather's luster.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather.

For light scuffs, a black shoe polish can often conceal them. Apply a small amount of polish with a clean cloth, let it dry, then buff with a shoe brush or soft cloth. For deeper scratches, professional repair might be needed.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

High-quality leather shoes often have a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first (1-2 hours) to allow the leather and lining to conform to your foot. Using shoe stretchers or applying a leather conditioner can also aid in softening the material.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur from friction between parts of the shoe or between the insole and sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath. If the squeak persists, it might indicate an issue with the sole construction and could require professional attention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Initial Setup 1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully upon first wear. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back. 2. Adjust Lacing: Starting from the bottom eyelets, tighten the laces evenly, moving upwards. Ensure the lacing is snug but not overly tight, allowing for comfortable movement. 3. First Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot. ### Compatibility The Paraboot Thiers, with its black premium leather and low-profile derby design, is exceptionally versatile: - Business Casual: Pair with tailored trousers, chinos, or dark-colored jeans and a button-down shirt. - Smart Casual: Excellent with denim, a sweater, or a casual blazer for a refined everyday look. - Semi-Formal: Can complement suits or blazers for events that don't require highly formal dress shoes. ### Care & Maintenance To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Paraboot Thiers shoes, follow these care guidelines: 1. Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. 2. Conditioning: Every few weeks, or as needed, apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to moisturize the leather, preventing it from drying out, cracking, and maintaining its suppleness. 3. Polishing: Use a black shoe polish periodically to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply with a soft cloth, let dry, and then buff to a shine with a clean brush. 4. Shoe Trees: Insert cedar shoe trees immediately after wearing. This helps absorb moisture, maintain the shoe's shape, and prevent creasing. 5. Proper Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided dust bags (if available) to protect them from dust and scratches. 6. Avoid Wet Conditions: While the rubber sole offers grip, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the leather upper. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper and let them air dry naturally, away from heat sources.
