FAQs

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the Paraboot sizing guide, as sizes may differ from other brands. It is recommended to try on a pair if possible or consult customer reviews for sizing advice.

Are the Reims loafers waterproof?

While the Norwegian welt construction offers good water resistance, the loafers are not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water.

What kind of socks should I wear?

Choose socks that complement your outfit. For a classic look, consider dress socks. For casual wear, you can opt for no-show socks or visible socks that match the style.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if the shoes are exposed to harsh conditions or are worn often.

Can I resole the shoes?

Yes, the Paraboot Reims can be resoled by a professional cobbler, extending their lifespan.

What is Norwegian welt construction?

Norwegian welt construction is a durable method where the upper leather is folded outwards and stitched to the insole, then the sole is stitched to the welt, creating a water-resistant seal.

Where are Paraboot shoes made?

Paraboot shoes, including the Reims, are handmade in France.

Troubleshooting

Leather Creasing

Leather creasing is a natural process. Use shoe trees to minimize creasing when the shoes are not in use. Regular conditioning can also help reduce the appearance of creases.

Sole Wear

The rubber sole is durable but will wear over time. Consider professional resoling to extend the life of your loafers.

Water Damage

If your shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Use a leather conditioner after they are completely dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no specific "setup" required. However, the following care instructions will help you maintain your Paraboot Reims loafers:

  1. Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
  2. Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather, preventing it from drying out and cracking. Apply the conditioner as directed on the product label.
  3. Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the leather. If necessary, consult a professional leather cleaner.
  5. Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with mild soap and water as needed to maintain its grip and appearance.
