FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes are made of leather and have a rubber sole, offering some resistance to light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water or worn in heavy rain.
How should I break in my new Paraboot shoes?
Wear them for short periods around the house for the first week. Gradually increase the duration of wear. Wearing them with medium-weight socks can help them mold to your feet more comfortably.
What is Blake stitch construction?
Blake stitch is a method where the upper is stitched directly to the insole and outsole. This creates a flexible, durable, and often repairable shoe.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on wear and climate. As a general guideline, condition the leather every 2-3 months, or whenever it appears dry or dull.
Can I resole these shoes?
Yes, due to their construction, Paraboot shoes are often resoleable by a skilled cobbler, extending their lifespan.
What is the difference between Thiers and Thiers/Sport series?
The Thiers/Sport series typically features a more robust, lugged rubber sole compared to the standard Thiers models, enhancing grip and durability for varied terrains.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine. Regular conditioning is recommended.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a thicker pair of socks can also help stretch the leather gently.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the lugged rubber soles are clean. While designed for grip, extremely smooth or wet surfaces can still present challenges. Consider a rubber sole treatment if persistent slippage occurs.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar type and length. Paraboot-branded laces or high-quality waxed cotton laces are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. The lace-up closure allows for immediate adjustment to your preferred fit.
Compatibility:
The Paraboot Thiers/Sport Low Shoes are designed for adult males and are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with trousers, jeans, shorts, and even certain types of casual suits.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a quality leather conditioner or cream periodically (e.g., every 2-3 months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a color-matched polish for scuffs or to restore color.
- Soles: Keep the rubber soles clean. Inspect for any embedded stones or debris.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
