Product Information
Full details
The Paraboot Mocassino Stringato is a sophisticated, versatile low shoe designed for adult men who value traditional craftsmanship and long-term durability. It features a classic moccasin construction with distinctive ponyhair detailing and a reliable rubber sole, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal environments. While the high-quality leather and robust build offer exceptional longevity, potential buyers should note that the stiff, structured leather requires a brief break-in period to achieve maximum comfort.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but the structured leather means they may feel snug at first.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Yes, the rubber sole provides good protection against wet surfaces, but it is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray for added security.
How often should I polish them?
Polishing once or twice a month is sufficient to keep the leather hydrated and maintain the black color depth.
Can I replace the soles?
Yes, the construction of this model allows for professional re-soling by an experienced cobbler.
Are they suitable for formal events?
The black leather finish makes them appropriate for business casual and many formal settings, though they remain a versatile hybrid style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff during first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them around the house for short periods with thick socks to speed up the break-in process.
Ponyhair section looks matted
Use a clean, soft-bristled garment brush to gently brush the fibers in the direction they naturally lay.
Water spots on leather
Allow to dry completely, then use a leather cleaner or conditioner designed for black leather to restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mocassino Stringato shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your specific foot shape.
- Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and draw out excess moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For the ponyhair section, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust in the direction of the hair growth.
- Maintenance: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid heat sources like radiators to dry the shoes if they get wet; let them air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
- Re-soling: When the rubber sole shows significant wear, take the shoes to a professional cobbler who specializes in welted or traditional construction to ensure the integrity of the original design is maintained.
