FAQs

Are Paraboot Michael shoes true to size?

They feature a generous last, which means they often run large. Many customers find it helpful to size down compared to their standard dress shoe size.

How often should I condition the leather?

It depends on usage, but typically applying a leather balm every 3 to 6 months will keep the material supple.

Can these shoes be worn in the rain?

Yes, the Norwegian-welt construction and rubber soles provide good water resistance, making them ideal for light wet weather.

What is the benefit of the Norwegian welt?

The Norwegian welt is a technique that attaches the upper to the midsole with a visible stitch, creating a very strong, water-resistant bond.

Are they suitable for formal business wear?

While they are stylish and well-constructed, their design is more aligned with smart-casual, business-casual, or heritage-inspired attire.

Troubleshooting

The fit feels too loose in the heel

Try using a leather insole or heel grip to occupy the extra volume created by the generous last.

Leather looks dull or dry

Apply a generous amount of leather conditioner or shoe cream and buff with a soft cloth to restore the natural oils.

Sole is losing grip after years of wear

Because the shoe is fully resoleable, take them to a professional cobbler to have the rubber sole replaced.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving your shoes, we recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest to account for the generous fit of the Paraboot last. To ensure they remain in peak condition, implement a consistent care routine. Clean the leather surface regularly using a soft horsehair brush to remove surface dust and debris. If the shoes become soiled, wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth. Apply a high-quality leather cream or balm every few months to nourish the leather and prevent cracking. Always use a shoe tree when the shoes are not being worn to help them maintain their shape and assist with moisture wicking.
