FAQs
Can these shoes be re-soled?
Yes, the Norwegian welt construction allows for the sole to be replaced by a professional cobbler once it wears down.
Are they waterproof?
While not fully waterproof, the Norwegian welt provides high water resistance, making them ideal for everyday weather.
What is the best way to break in Paraboot Michael shoes?
Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time with thick socks to gently stretch the leather.
Are these shoes unisex?
The Paraboot Michael series features various models that cater to different gender fits; always check the specific sizing guide for the model.
How should I store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place using wooden shoe trees to help retain their shape and manage moisture inside the shoe.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff during initial wear.
This is normal for high-quality Norwegian welted leather. Wear them for short intervals until the material softens and conforms to your foot shape.
Leather surface shows signs of dryness.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream to hydrate the hide and restore its natural luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Your Paraboot shoes come ready to wear, but we recommend wearing them for short periods around the house during the first few days to allow the leather to soften.
- Compatibility: The versatile brown leather pairs well with earth tones, navy, and charcoal, fitting seamlessly into most adult wardrobes.
- Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to prevent the leather from drying out. Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to maintain the shape and absorb moisture. If the shoes become very dirty, wipe them with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.
