FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Paraboot sizing guide, as sizes may differ from other brands. It is recommended to try them on or consult the size chart before purchase.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few months, or more often if the shoes are exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The Norwegian welt construction provides some water resistance. However, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. Consider using a leather protectant spray for added water resistance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these loafers?
You can wear dress socks or no-show socks depending on the desired look and the weather.
Where are Paraboot Reims loafers made?
They are handmade in France, reflecting the brand's heritage of quality craftsmanship.
How should I store my Reims loafers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Can I use any leather cleaner on these shoes?
It is best to use a cleaner specifically designed for high-quality leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the leather.
Troubleshooting
Loafers feel tight initially.
The Reims may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. Consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Leather shows signs of wear or scratches.
Use a leather conditioner or cream to address scratches and keep the leather moisturized. For deeper scratches, consult a leather repair specialist.
Sole appears worn or damaged.
The rubber sole is durable but can wear over time. Have the sole replaced by a professional cobbler if necessary. Regular cleaning will prolong the sole's life.
