FAQs

How do I clean my Paraboot Michael shoes?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for full-grain leather.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Yes, the Norwegian welt construction and rubber sole offer good water resistance. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may require additional waterproofing treatment.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions.

Can I resole the shoes?

Yes, the Paraboot Michael shoes are designed to be resoled by a professional cobbler.

What is the best way to store the shoes?

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

What is the difference between full-grain leather and other types of leather?

Full-grain leather is the highest quality leather, known for its durability and natural appearance. It has not been sanded or buffed, retaining the natural grain and imperfections.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or cracked.

Apply leather conditioner to restore moisture and prevent further damage.

Sole is losing grip.

Clean the sole with a brush and warm water to remove any debris that may be affecting traction.

Shoes are uncomfortable.

Allow for a break-in period, or consider using thicker socks or insoles for added comfort.

Water is penetrating the shoe.

Ensure the shoes are properly maintained and conditioned. If water is still penetrating, seek professional repair or consider applying a waterproofing treatment.
