Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to moisturize the leather and then polish with a black shoe polish for protection and shine.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to the durable Norwegian Welt construction, the Paraboot Michael Marche II is designed to be resoled. We recommend taking them to a professional cobbler who specializes in welted footwear when the rubber sole shows significant wear.

The Norwegian Welt is a traditional shoe construction method where the upper, insole, and welt are stitched together, and then the sole is stitched to the welt. This creates an exceptionally strong, durable, and water-resistant bond, also allowing for easy resoling.

While the Norwegian Welt construction offers enhanced water resistance, especially compared to glued shoes, they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided. We recommend treating them with a water-resistant spray suitable for leather for added protection.

To maintain their shape and absorb moisture, always store your Paraboot Michael Marche II shoes with high-quality shoe trees (preferably made of cedar). Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

The product is listed as a UK size 7. Paraboot sizing can sometimes run slightly larger than standard. We recommend checking a Paraboot-specific sizing chart if you are unsure, or trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Quality leather shoes may feel snug initially but will mold to your foot.

Yes, due to the high-quality, robust leather and the traditional Norwegian Welt construction, a break-in period is common. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your foot, improving comfort over time.

High-quality leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. The leather will soften and conform to your foot over time.

For light scuffs, a quality leather conditioner can often buff them out. For deeper marks, apply a matching black leather polish and buff gently. Always test products on an inconspicuous area first.

Immediately wipe off any excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb internal moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat, which can damage the leather.

The Paraboot Michael Marche II features a resolable design due to its Norwegian Welt construction. Take your shoes to a reputable cobbler experienced with welted footwear to have the rubber soles replaced, extending their lifespan.

Regular cleaning, conditioning, and polishing with a black leather polish will help maintain the rich color and lustre of the tumbled leather. Ensure you use products specifically designed for natural leather.
