Extended Product Information

The Paraboot Michael Marche II excels in both urban environments and more rugged conditions, thanks to its robust construction. The Norwegian Welt provides excellent water resistance, making these shoes a reliable choice in damp weather without compromising on style. The rubber sole offers superior traction, ensuring confident footing on various surfaces, while also providing cushioning for extended wear. The premium leather upper will conform to your foot over time, developing a unique patina that enhances its character. These shoes are versatile enough for daily wear, from office casual to weekend outings, and can easily be dressed up or down. Their inherent durability means they are built to withstand the rigors of frequent use, offering a blend of comfort, protection, and timeless style.

Initial Setup Upon receiving your Paraboot Michael Marche II, gently stuff the shoes with tissue paper or shoe trees to help them retain their shape when not in use. Before the first wear, apply a high-quality leather conditioner or protector to nourish the leather and provide an initial layer of protection against moisture and scuffs. ### Compatibility These shoes feature a classic Moc-toe Derby design in a Dark Brown 'Marron Lis Cafe' shade, making them highly versatile. They pair well with chinos, denim, tweed trousers, and even tailored casual suits. Their sturdy build and elegant aesthetic make them suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual walks to more formal gatherings. ### Care 1. Cleaning: Regularly brush off dirt and dust with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner, wiping gently. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. 2. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner every 1-2 months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This helps maintain its rich color and natural oils. 3. Polishing: Use a complementary dark brown shoe polish to restore shine and cover minor scuffs. Apply sparingly and buff with a soft cloth. 4. Water Protection: While the Norwegian Welt offers good water resistance, consider applying a waterproofing spray or wax specifically designed for leather shoes for added protection in very wet conditions. 5. Storage: Always store your shoes with shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 6. Resoling: Given the Norwegian Welted construction, these shoes are designed to be resoled. When the rubber sole shows significant wear, take them to a reputable cobbler for resoling to extend their life.
