FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Iberis/Chase sandals are made with standard width sizing. While the leather will mold to your foot over time, if you have significantly wide feet, they may feel snug initially.
Can the rubber sole be replaced?
Yes, due to the Goodyear welted construction, the rubber sole can be professionally replaced by a cobbler, extending the lifespan of the sandals.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag or the original box can help protect them.
What is the typical lifespan of these sandals?
With proper care and occasional resoling, Paraboot sandals made with Goodyear welting can last for many years, often a decade or more.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, and the rubber sole offers protection. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the leather.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
This guide focuses on the Black UK 7 model. Please refer to the product listing or other available sibling products for different size and color options from the Paraboot Iberis/Chase series.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner suitable for your sandals. Allow it to absorb fully before wearing.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. For additional grip, consider a specialist shoe repairer for rubber sole treatments.
Straps feel too tight after initial wear
Leather will stretch and mold over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consult a cobbler for potential minor adjustments.
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather cream or polish in a matching color.
