The red laces look so good in photos.

Wearing my new Paraboot Pro Super Rando’s today for the first time. Wish I could say I was on my first accent into the Whites with them on but that would be a foolish move in new boots.

They are by MacHay that are now defunct brand that we offered for quite a few years.

Alright I was getting roasted by my friends for these so I took a picture, and figured I’d share here.

IMHO, who cares what your friends think. If they fit your style/taste/look, why not.
Not as far-fetched as these https://www.cettire.com/products/paraboot-michael-lace-up-shoes-910163103

does anyone own both new balance sneakers and the paraboot michael? i'm a 7.5US in new balance shoes and looking to get a 39.5 in the paraboot michael, which I think is a US 6/UK 5.5

I am an 8.5DUS in New Balance, but I have wider feet so I normally wear US 8E in dress shoes, or 7G in UK sizing. I have the Paraboot Avignon in 7, which are snug, and the Michael in 41, which are loose. If you're a D width then 39.5 is probably right.

I wear a size 44 (US10) in the New Balance 574/550, and a size 42 in the Michael. My ‘true’ size is 42.5 (US9), so for me NB runs very small and the Michael runs a bit large.

Does anyone have experience with the Arpenteur x Paraboot chukkas, size wise? I’m a solid UK 8 but have the Avignon in 7.5 which fit perfectly.

No half sizes available on these, so not sure whether to go for the 8 or go all the way down to a 7.

8

This was good advice, thank you. They've arrived and they're true to size.
