The Paraboot Reims Loafer excels in both durability and style, making it a reliable choice for daily wear and special occasions. Its robust Norwegian welt construction and grippy rubber sole provide confidence on various surfaces, while the high-quality leather upper ensures long-term wear. These loafers can effortlessly transition from formal to smart-casual settings. For a classy yet contemporary look, consider pairing them with pleated trousers. The cushioned inner footbed offers comfort, making them suitable for extended periods of use after a brief break-in period where the leather will conform to your foot.
Initial Setup: Upon receiving your Paraboot Reims Loafers, you will notice a white powder substance on the outer layer of the leather. This is a protective coating applied during transit and storage. To remove it, gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth or apply a clear wax polish. This step is essential before your first wear.
Compatibility: These loafers are designed for adult males, offering a classic fit in UK shoe size 8.
Care: To maintain the pristine condition and longevity of your leather loafers:
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
Conditioning: Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Polishing: Apply a clear or black shoe polish to nourish the leather and restore its luster.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Storage: Store them in shoe bags or a well-ventilated area to protect the leather and maintain their shape.
