FAQs

Where are the Paraboot Thiers manufactured?

These shoes are expertly crafted in Spain.

How do I determine my size?

The sizes listed are in UK sizing. We recommend choosing your standard UK dress shoe size.

Can the soles be replaced?

Yes, thanks to the Blake stitch construction, these shoes can be resoled by a professional cobbler.

Are these suitable for formal events?

Their classic design is well-suited for smart-casual and business-casual environments, though they are primarily categorized as low-profile lifestyle shoes.

What type of leather is used?

The Paraboot Thiers uses high-grade leather selected for durability and the ability to age gracefully.

How often should I polish them?

Polishing every few weeks or whenever the leather looks dull will help maintain the color and provide a protective barrier.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff initially.

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to help them mold to your foot shape gradually.

Heel slipping while walking.

Adjust the lace tightness to secure the midfoot, or consider using a thin leather heel grip if the size is slightly generous.

Sole has lost traction due to debris.

Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove embedded dirt and restore grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, versatile design that fits many outfits
  • Sturdy Blake stitch construction
  • High-quality leather materials
  • Reliable grip from the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the leather to soften
  • Less cushioning than modern athletic sneakers
  • Specific maintenance required to preserve leather quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Upon receiving your shoes, ensure a proper fit by wearing the socks you intend to use daily; the UK 8.5 size should feel snug but not restrictive. To care for your Paraboot Thiers, use a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can dry out the leather. If they get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture slowly and let them dry away from direct heat sources. Regularly brushing off dust will extend the life of the leather finish.
