Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Paraboot Michael shoes maintain their structure and aesthetic appeal, follow these care guidelines:
- Storage: Always insert cedar shoe trees when not in use. This helps the leather maintain its shape and absorbs residual moisture from the day.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt and debris using a soft, slightly damp cloth after each wear.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically—every 2 to 3 months depending on usage—to prevent the leather from drying or cracking.
- Weatherproofing: While the construction is water-resistant, you may apply a neutral leather protectant spray to enhance protection against stains and moisture.
For sizing, the UK 8 fits true to standard sizing, though it is recommended to wear mid-weight socks to assist with the break-in process.
