FAQs
What is the Norwegian method construction?
The Norwegian method is a traditional shoemaking technique where the upper is stitched to a welt, and then the welt is stitched to the sole, creating a very durable and water-resistant bond. It's known for its robustness and ability to be resoled.
Can these shoes be shipped outside the EU?
No, Paraboot products can only be shipped within the EU.
How do I remove the protective powder from the leather?
You can easily remove the protective powder by wiping the shoes with a slightly damp cloth. A clear wax polish can also be used for a smoother finish and to condition the leather.
Are these shoes suitable for formal occasions?
The Michael Marche Low Shoes are best suited for smart-casual occasions. While classic, their Moccasin style is typically less formal than a cap-toe Oxford or Derby shoe.
What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?
High-quality wool or cotton socks are recommended. Ensure they fit well to avoid bunching inside the shoe, contributing to comfort.
How long does the durable rubber sole typically last?
The durable rubber sole is designed for longevity. With proper care and depending on wear frequency and conditions, it can last for many years. Resolving is often an option.
Do Paraboot shoes require a break-in period?
Yes, like most high-quality leather footwear, Paraboot shoes often require a break-in period to conform to the wearer's foot, ensuring maximum comfort.
Troubleshooting
Protective powder on leather.
Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth or apply a clear wax polish to remove the substance and condition the leather.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Sole appears worn.
The durable rubber sole is designed for longevity. If significant wear occurs, consult a cobbler for potential resoling services, which is often possible with Norwegian construction.
