Anyone know of a US retailer that has the Paraboot Pacifics? Really want to check them out, but in the event of them not fitting I don't want to have to deal with European returns.

I tried a pair a few years back and they fit big. I think the 8UK fit like a 10.5US, if that helps at all.

Question regarding sizing. I have left foot half a size smaller than my right foot. Nothing crazy as most people have a little difference between L and R foot. I wear UK 10 in most shoe brands. I went down to UK 9,5 - EU 43,5 in Michael and left foot fits perfect and my fingers on the right foot are touching the front inside the shoe. I would like to know how much the leather will stretch on Michaels? Cause I am afraid I will have heel slip on left foot if I get half size bigger so my right foot would have better fit but could be too much room in the right shoe.

Unfortunately the store I ordered from did not have both sizes UK 9.5 and 10 to order both and try so if they wont stretch much I will return them and order UK 10 elsewhere and hope for the best.

A shoe will never get (Stretch) longer even on a stretching device. Always accommodate the larger foot and use insoles, tongue pads and heel grippers on the smaller. However, I don't think you'll have much luck with Michael's because they are 2 eyelet lacing.

Does anyone have suggestions for which color of Saphir Medaille d'or to use on Paraboot's "lisse marron" leather?

Better than saphir? Do you suggest using it with renovateur?

Saphir in a good choice but Paraboot shoe cream is a Beeswax. Have not used renovateur but Paraboot also offers a similar product which we also sell.

I need advice on sizing Chambord / Actem. Do they fit the same as a regular Chambord model? If not, what are the differences? I’ve heard it offers a sleaker silhouette.

Does anyone know what model this is (from Kaptain Sunshine SS23 lookbook but don’t think it’s a collab)
