FAQs
Where are Paraboot Michael shoes made?
All Paraboot Michael shoes are expertly crafted in France.
What is the benefit of Norwegian stitching?
Norwegian stitching provides a highly durable and water-resistant bond between the shoe upper and the sole, increasing the lifespan of the shoe.
How should I clean my black leather Paraboot shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, then apply a quality leather conditioner followed by a black shoe cream to maintain the color and finish.
Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?
Yes, the Norwegian welt construction and natural rubber soles provide excellent weather resistance for city rain and damp conditions.
Will the size fit true to standard UK sizes?
The Michael series generally runs consistent with standard UK sizing, though the thick leather structure means they may feel firm until broken in.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods at home with thick socks to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs appearing on the leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth, let dry, and apply a black leather cream or polish to buff out imperfections.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable construction thanks to Norwegian stitching
- Versatile design suitable for diverse wardrobe styles
- High-quality leather that develops a unique character over time
- Superior grip and comfort from the signature natural rubber sole
Cons
- Initial stiffness requires a break-in period
- The robust build makes them heavier than standard fashion sneakers
- Leather requires regular maintenance to stay in top condition
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, as this can crack the leather. For daily upkeep, use a soft horsehair brush to remove surface dust. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few months to maintain the suppleness of the black leather. For compatibility, the UK 9.5 size offers a standard fit, but because of the thick leather and sturdy construction, it is recommended to wear them with medium-weight cotton socks during the initial break-in phase to prevent discomfort.
