FAQs

How often should I clean my Paraboot Michael shoes?

Clean them as needed, typically after each wear if they get dirty. Regular cleaning helps to maintain their appearance and prevent damage.

How do I best care for the leather?

Use a leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather moisturized and prevent cracking. Apply it after cleaning and let it absorb into the leather.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Norwegian welt construction provides good water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. Use a protectant spray to increase water resistance.

Can I replace the soles?

Yes, the Paraboot Michael shoes are designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler, which greatly extends their lifespan.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Wear socks that complement the shoe's style. For warmer months, choose lightweight cotton or linen socks. In cooler weather, consider wool socks for added warmth and comfort.

How should I store my Paraboot Michael shoes when not in use?

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat. Use shoe trees to help them maintain their shape.

Where are Paraboot Michael shoes made?

Paraboot Michael shoes are made in France.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

Wear the shoes regularly to break in the leather. Use leather softeners to speed up the process.

Scratches or scuffs on the leather.

Use a leather polish in a matching color to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional leather repair service.

Water damage.

Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape.
