FAQs

Are these shoes handmade?

Yes, the Paraboot Michael Marche is crafted in France, adhering to traditional shoemaking techniques.

What should I do if the leather looks dull?

Apply a high-quality leather cream and buff with a horsehair brush to restore the luster.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

The Michael Marche generally fits consistent with standard UK sizing; ensure you choose your standard UK foot size (10.5).

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

The rubber sole provides good traction, but always ensure the leather is treated with a water-repellent spray if you anticipate walking in wet conditions.

What is the purpose of the white stitching?

The contrasting white stitching is a signature design element of the Michael Marche, providing structural reinforcement and a distinct visual profile.

Troubleshooting

A white matte film appears on the leather surface

This is a natural occurrence in premium leather. Buff the shoes with a soft cloth or apply a black leather cream to restore the shine.

Shoes feel stiff when new

Natural, heavy-duty leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations around the house to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Minor scuffs on the leather

Use a matching black leather conditioner or cream to mask scuffs and nourish the leather fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care is essential for maintaining the integrity of the Paraboot Michael Marche. Before the first wear, consider applying a leather protector suitable for smooth leather. If you notice a light white matte finish appearing on the surface, do not be alarmed—this is common with high-quality natural leather. Simply buff the leather with a soft cloth or apply a high-quality black shoe cream to restore the original sheen. Store your shoes in the provided dustbag when not in use to prevent scratches and exposure to direct sunlight, which can dry out the leather over time.
