To ensure your Paraboot Michael shoes provide years of service, proper care is essential. Upon first wear, consider applying a neutral leather conditioner to nourish and protect the calf leather. These shoes are compatible with various outfits, from tailored trousers to jeans, due to their versatile Derby moc-toe design. For daily care, gently wipe off any dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a conditioner. Store them with shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture. The robust Norwegian Welt means the shoes are designed to be resoled when the rubber sole eventually wears down, allowing you to extend their life significantly. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture, but the rubber sole does offer good protection in damp conditions.
