Product Information

Full details

The Paraboot Michael is an iconic, rugged low shoe designed for adults who appreciate a blend of traditional craftsmanship and long-lasting durability. Featuring signature Norwegian-welt construction and a hearty lugged rubber outsole, these shoes are ideal for everyday wear in various urban or outdoor settings. While they offer unparalleled build quality and a distinct, sophisticated silhouette, users should note that the substantial leather and robust construction require a brief breaking-in period to reach optimal comfort.

FAQs

Are Paraboot Michael shoes waterproof?

The Norwegian-welt construction provides high water resistance, making them well-suited for wet conditions, though they are not explicitly marketed as 'waterproof' boots.

Do I need to size up or down?

Paraboot shoes generally fit true to standard UK sizing, but since they are robust, some users prefer a slightly roomier fit to accommodate thicker socks.

How often should I condition the leather?

It is recommended to condition your leather every 1-3 months depending on how frequently you wear them and the severity of the weather conditions.

Can I replace the soles?

Yes, the Norwegian-welt construction allows for the shoes to be professionally resoled by a cobbler, significantly extending the life of the footwear.

Are these suitable for formal occasions?

They feature a sophisticated aesthetic that works well in business-casual or smart-casual settings, though they are more rugged than a traditional oxford shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or tight on first wear

This is normal for high-quality Norwegian-welted leather. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.

Leather looks dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to hydrate the leather and restore its natural shine.

Difficulty maintaining shape

Insert wooden shoe trees immediately after taking the shoes off to help them hold their form and wick away sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are high-quality leather shoes, proper care is essential to ensure they last for years.

  1. Initial Care: Use a quality leather conditioner upon receiving the shoes to keep the material supple.
  2. Routine Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and debris.
  3. Storage: Always use cedar shoe trees when not in use; this helps the shoe maintain its distinct rounded silhouette and absorbs residual moisture from the leather.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly apply leather polish or conditioner to nourish the grain. If the outsole encounters salt or heavy mud, clean it with a soft brush and mild soap to prevent material degradation.
