FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Iberis/Chase sandals are designed with a standard fit. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug initially.
Can the soles be replaced?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welted construction, the soles are designed to be resolable by a qualified cobbler, extending the life of the sandals.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the sandals are exposed to harsh conditions or feel dry.
What is the difference between Iberis and Chase models?
The Iberis and Chase series typically refer to the same sandal model within Paraboot's collection, known for its classic design and durable construction.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, and the rubber sole provides some protection. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Applying a waterproofing spray is recommended for enhanced protection.
What kind of socks, if any, should be worn with these sandals?
These sandals are typically worn without socks in warm weather. If socks are preferred, thin, breathable socks designed for sandals or loafers are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris. The genuine rubber sole provides good traction, but can be less effective on extremely smooth or wet surfaces. Consider a light scuffing of the sole if it feels excessively smooth.
Water spots appearing on the leather
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Apply a leather conditioner after drying to restore suppleness.
