Taking care of your Paraboots

To clean your Paraboots, there are several steps to follow. Depending on the model and material, you'll need to follow different cleaning techniques. Before starting the process, you need to remove your laces, put on a shoe tree and get your brushes and cleaning products. Before each step, for each type of Paraboot, use a polishing brush and dust the leather to remove accumulated dirt and free the pores. Different models require different cleaning products.

For shoes made of smooth, grained, greasy, semi-greasy or patina leather

Use a cleaning wax and apply the shoe polish evenly in circular movements. Unless the shoe is made of Norwegian stitching, you must reinforce the waterproofing by applying a colorless shoe polish with an applicator brush. Then brush the leather with a soft bristle brush and polish with a glove.

For shoes made from suede calfskin and nubuck

Remove dirt with a nubuck eraser. If the shoe is made of Norwegian stitching, enhance its waterproofing by applying colorless shoe polish with an applicator brush. For nubuck shoes, spray essential oil from a distance of 20 centimetres and leave to set. If the leather is velvet, straighten the pile with a scraper brush for better cleaning, and don't forget to reapply waterproofing.

For gloss and patent leathers

Apply Marseille soap with a soft, damp, warm cloth. Rinse your shoes, then leave to dry. Finally, polish your shoes with a special glove.

For leather soles: Using a soft cloth, apply cleaning wax evenly and leave to stand. Finally, polish the leather with a clean cloth in a circular motion and let your shoes dry on edge, not flat.

Then, once you've finished caring for your shoes, put your laces back on and remove the shoe trees.

For the best possible care of your Paraboots, our advice is that after each wear: use a shoe tree adapted to the shape of your shoes. Your pair will be as good as new! You can also use a cleansing cream for better leather care. For further care tips, you can visit the Paraboot website or contact them directly. how to repair and take care Paraboot shoes

To repair your Paraboot :

Your Paraboot shoes are made with the best possible materials and ancestral sewing techniques. It's thanks to this quality that your pair will last over time. Above all, it's important to take care of your shoes by using a product that maintains their quality. To have your pair repaired, you can either contact Paraboot directly, or go to an authorized shoemaker who will be able to repair them.

To do this, the repairer will need to follow 5 main steps:

First, the repairer will gently remove the existing sole. This step is crucial to avoid damaging the structure. Removal must be done with care to preserve the welt and vamp.
Once the sole has been removed, the shoemaker proceeds to disassemble the shoe. This involves removing the welt and any other damaged parts that need replacing. This step allows us to check the overall condition and determine any repairs that may be necessary.
Once the shoe has been disassembled, any damaged or worn parts, such as the welt, heel or lining, are replaced with new ones to ensure the durability and comfort of the repaired shoe.
The shoemaker then installs a new welt, using the Norwegian sewing method. This sewing is carried out with great precision to ensure the watertightness and strength of the shoes.

Finally, a new sole is applied, usually in leather or rubber, depending on the shoe model. Finishing includes polishing, buffing and brushing to restore the shoes to their original, impeccable appearance and extend the life of your Paraboot shoes!
