FAQs
Are Paraboot Malibu shoes waterproof?
While the rubber sole provides good protection, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water-repellent spray.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, the Blake stitching construction allows for professional resoling by a cobbler, extending the life of your footwear significantly.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; if you typically wear a specific UK size in leather dress shoes, choose that same size.
Are these suitable for formal occasions?
The Malibu is best suited for casual and smart-casual environments. They may be too relaxed for strictly formal business or black-tie events.
How often should I polish the leather?
Depending on usage, applying a nourishing leather cream every 3-6 months will help keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after first wear
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Leather looks dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural luster of the material.
Sole grip is slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are free from debris or mud; if the issue persists, the rubber may require slight scuffing or a specialized cleaning treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Paraboot Malibu shoes last, it is recommended to use cedar shoe trees when the shoes are not in use; this helps absorb moisture and maintains the shape of the leather. For cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and follow up with a high-quality shoe cream to maintain hydration and color depth. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you select the correct UK size, as the leather will stretch slightly to accommodate your foot profile after several wears.
