FAQs

How should I size my Paraboot Michael shoes?

The fit is generous. It is generally recommended to order half a size down from your usual UK size.

Are these shoes suitable for rainy weather?

Yes, the Norwegian-welt construction and rubber soles make them highly resistant to moisture compared to standard dress shoes.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes, the construction method allows for resoling by a professional cobbler, extending the life of your shoes significantly.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth for surface grime. Always finish with a leather balm to maintain moisture.

Can I wear these with a suit?

While they are very versatile, they lean toward the casual side. They work best with relaxed-fit suits or smart-casual attire.

How often should I apply leather balm?

Depending on usage and weather, applying a conditioner every 1-3 months will keep the leather in optimal condition.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff and uncomfortable after the first few wears.

This is normal for high-quality leather shoes. Continue wearing them for short periods and apply a leather conditioner to help accelerate the softening process.

The shoe feels too loose or bulky on the foot.

If the length is correct but the volume feels loose, consider using a high-quality leather insole to occupy excess space and improve arch support.

Water spots or salt stains appearing on the leather.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild leather soap. Once dry, apply a leather cream to restore the oils and finish with a water-repellent spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Sizing: The Michael series fits large. If you typically wear a UK 7, consider starting with a UK 6.5.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a slightly damp cloth.
  2. Nourishment: Apply a high-quality leather cream or balm periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Protection: Use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to add an extra layer of defense against the elements.
  4. Storage: Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shape and absorb moisture from the lining.

Warnings:

  • Never machine wash your shoes as it can damage the structural integrity and the leather.
  • Avoid drying near heat sources like radiators, as this causes the leather to dry out and stiffen.
