FAQs
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Paraboot sizing chart or compare with your usual UK shoe size. The Reims Marche - Brown - UK 6.5 is equivalent to a standard UK 6.5.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Yes, due to the durable Norwegian welt construction, the Paraboot Reims Marche can be professionally resoled, extending their lifespan.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Norwegian welt construction offers good water resistance, and the durable rubber sole provides protection. However, they are not fully waterproof and should be cared for appropriately in wet conditions.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if exposed to harsh elements, to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying.
What is the difference between Reims and Reims Marche?
The 'Marche' designation often refers to a specific sole type or construction detail within the Reims line, typically emphasizing durability and comfort for walking.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the fully lined leather inner and cushioned footbed make them comfortable to wear without socks, especially in warmer weather, though sock wear is also common.
What is the warranty period for Paraboot shoes?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. It is recommended to check with the place of purchase for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner and polish to restore moisture and shine.
Slight stiffness during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually to your foot shape.
Water marks on the leather
Allow the shoes to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, condition the leather.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean. For increased grip, consider professional resoling with a more aggressive tread pattern if needed.
