Full details
The Paraboot Michael/Griff II is a premium, unisex Derby shoe designed for adults who prioritize heritage craftsmanship and long-term durability. Hand-assembled in France, these shoes feature a robust Norwegian welt construction and a classic moccasin silhouette that works well for both casual and smart-casual wardrobes. While the high-quality leather is exceptionally hard-wearing and resoleable, potential owners should be aware that the natural leather may develop a matte patina over time that requires periodic polishing to maintain its original luster.

Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather; wear the shoes for short durations to allow the leather to gradually soften and mold to your feet.
Surface looks dull or matte
The natural leather can develop a matte finish; apply a nourishing leather polish or cream to revive the original luster.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Insert wooden shoe trees after wear to absorb moisture and maintain the structural shape of the leather.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft cloth to remove dirt after each use.
- Polishing: If the leather develops a matte appearance, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream polish to restore its natural sheen.
- Storage: Use cedar shoe trees when storing the shoes to help maintain their shape and manage interior moisture.
- Professional Maintenance: Because these shoes are resoleable, consult a professional cobbler if the rubber sole wears down significantly after years of use.
