Paraboot shoe care

Hello mfad,

I’ve had these used micheals for a year now and they’re showing their age, especially the leather tearing around the heel.

What do?

I use bick4 on mine. The heel wear looks like you might be slipping them on/off. Might look at heel pads or something to reduce wear at the area?

Idt bick4 is good for suede tho

Yeah google seems to agree with this

Slipping as in when I put them on/off?

Would using a shoe tree help?

Could help. I think general wisdom for putting on and taking off shoes is to untie/retie every time. I absolutely do not do this

Yeah these aren’t laced up super tightly anyway, and I appreciate the convenience of just slipping them on

a shoe horn will prevent a lot of the heel tearing
