FAQs
How do I clean the leather on my Paraboot sandals?
Use a soft, damp cotton cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a product specifically designed for genuine leather. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Why do my new leather sandals look a bit chalky or white in spots?
This is often due to a natural rise in the leather's fat content, known as 'blooming'. It's a sign of quality leather and can be easily resolved by buffing the area with a clean, dry cotton cloth.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The Goodyear stitching construction offers good water resistance. However, the natural leather can absorb water, so avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion. The natural rubber sole provides good traction in wet conditions.
Can the soles be replaced?
Yes, the Goodyear welt construction makes these sandals resoleable. You can take them to a qualified cobbler to have the natural rubber soles replaced when they show signs of wear.
Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?
The Paraboot Iberis/Chase series is available in various sizes and potentially other colors depending on the retailer's stock. Please check the product listings for available options.
What is the best way to store these sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a dust bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
How should I interpret the sizing recommendations?
The product description indicates that these sandals run large. It is advisable to purchase one size smaller than your typical shoe size for a comfortable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears whitened upon arrival.
This is a natural characteristic of the leather's fat content. Rub the area with a clean cotton cloth to distribute the fat and even out the color.
Sandals feel too large.
As the product sizes large, we recommend trying a size down. The adjustable strap can provide some immediate tightening, but a smaller size will offer a more secure fit.
Leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the sandals for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles show wear over time.
The Goodyear stitching allows the soles to be replaced. Consult a professional cobbler to have the natural rubber soles resoled, restoring the sandals' functionality and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Care:
- When you first receive your Paraboot Iberis/Chase Sandals, you may notice a slight whitening on the leather. This is a natural rise in the leather's fat content. To remove it, simply rub the affected areas with a clean, dry cotton cloth until the color is uniform.

- Sizing: Please note that this product runs large. It is strongly recommended to purchase one size smaller than your usual shoe size for the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a clean, damp cotton cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying. Use sparingly and buff with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Resoleability: The Goodyear stitching allows for resoling by a qualified cobbler, extending the life of your sandals.
