FAQs
How do I clean the blue leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for blue leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the Norwegian welt construction?
It's a traditional and highly durable method of attaching the upper to the sole, involving a stitched welt. This construction enhances water resistance and allows for resoling.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Yes, the Paraboot Reims Marche is available in various colors, including brown, though this specific guide focuses on the blue variant.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary but typically lasts from a few wears to a couple of weeks, depending on frequency of wear and individual foot shape.
Can these shoes be resoled?
Yes, due to the durable Norwegian welt construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled, extending their lifespan significantly.
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Mid-weight wool or cotton blend socks are generally recommended for comfort and breathability. Avoid very thin or very thick socks which could affect fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they break in. Consider using a leather conditioner to help soften the material.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure shoes are stored properly away from heat and direct sunlight.
Slight water ingress
The Norwegian welt offers some water resistance, but these are not waterproof boots. For increased protection, apply a waterproofing spray suitable for leather. Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources if they become wet.
