FAQs
Are Paraboot Malibu shoes water-resistant?
While the leather is durable, they are not waterproof. They are designed for casual use; avoid submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of the Blake stitching?
Blake stitching offers a closer fit and increased flexibility compared to bulkier stitching methods, making the shoe very comfortable right out of the box.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, thanks to the Blake stitching construction, professional cobblers can generally replace the rubber sole when it eventually wears down.
Do these run true to size?
The Paraboot Malibu follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to try them on or compare them to your existing Paraboot size.
How often should I polish my black leather shoes?
Depending on frequency of wear, polishing every 10-15 wears is typically sufficient to keep the leather protected and looking fresh.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a matching leather cream or polish, then buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural luster.
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear
Leather will soften with natural heat from your feet; wear them for short periods initially to allow for a gentle break-in.
Accumulation of moisture inside the shoe
Use cedar shoe trees after every wear to wick away moisture and neutralize odors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Paraboot Malibu; the shoes are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a long life for your footwear, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris after each wear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place and use cedar shoe trees to maintain the shape and absorb moisture.
- Rotation: Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row to allow the leather and lining to dry out completely.
The shoes feature a UK sizing standard; ensure you select the appropriate UK 7 size to match your foot profile for the best fit.
