The Paraboot Michael is a heritage-inspired low shoe designed for adults who appreciate timeless French craftsmanship and durable construction. This iconic silhouette, dating back to 1945, features premium smooth leather and a robust natural rubber sole that offers exceptional stability and comfort. While the high-quality construction ensures longevity, the structural rigidity of the leather requires a consistent break-in period to achieve an optimal fit.

Every pair of Paraboot Michael shoes is expertly crafted in France.
It is a complex stitching technique that joins the upper to the sole, increasing both the durability and water resistance of the footwear.
Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth, allow them to air dry away from heat, and then apply a leather-specific cream to nourish the hide.
Yes, thanks to the natural rubber soles and robust Norwegian welt construction, they are more weather-resistant than standard dress shoes.
Break-in time varies by individual, but typically requires several weeks of regular wear for the stiff leather to adapt fully to your foot shape.
Yes, the construction of these shoes allows for resoling by a professional cobbler, extending the life of your purchase significantly.
This is normal for high-quality Norwegian-stitched leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the leather before extended outdoor use.
Ensure the front lace-up fastening is fully loosened before insertion. Using a shoehorn can also help preserve the integrity of the heel counter.
Use a matching black leather cream and a horsehair brush to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the natural luster of the material.
Because these shoes arrive with a structured fit, ensure you are wearing appropriate medium-thickness socks during the initial break-in phase to prevent pressure points. For long-term care, utilize a high-quality leather cream to maintain the suppleness of the smooth black hide and store the shoes with cedar shoe trees to help retain their shape and absorb moisture between wears. Avoid over-conditioning; a light application every few months is usually sufficient. Since these use a natural rubber sole, store them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent premature degradation of the sole material.
