Paraboot Michael - Brown - UK 6

A Moc-toe (or moccasin toe) refers to the seam around the vamp that resembles the construction of traditional moccasins. A Derby shoe features an open lacing system where the shoelace eyelets are sewn onto the top of the vamp, making them generally less formal than Oxfords and easier to put on.

Norwegian Welt Construction is a traditional and highly durable method where the upper, insole, and outsole are stitched together twice. This creates a very strong, water-resistant seal and allows the shoes to be resoled multiple times, extending their lifespan significantly.

You can clean the rubber sole using a stiff brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.

While the Norwegian Welt Construction offers excellent water resistance, these shoes are not entirely waterproof. They can withstand light rain and damp conditions well, but prolonged exposure to heavy water should be avoided to protect the leather and maintain shoe integrity.

With proper care and maintenance, including regular conditioning and resoling when needed, Paraboot Michael shoes are renowned for lasting many years, often decades, becoming a cherished part of your wardrobe.

Apply a generous amount of high-quality leather conditioner or cream. For deep cracks, consult a professional shoe repair specialist.

This is common during the break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and consider using thicker socks. The leather will soften and mold to your feet over time.

The rubber sole is designed to be durable. If wear is significant, take your shoes to a professional cobbler for resoling, which is a key benefit of Norwegian Welt construction.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Always condition the leather after cleaning.
