FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities on established paths. They are not intended for rugged hiking or technical terrain.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the UK adult size options provided. Given they are unisex, consider the width if you typically wear men's or women's specific fits.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and sole construction. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What does 'Organic Cotton' mean for the shoe?
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. It provides the same comfort and breathability as conventional cotton.
How is the recycled rubber used?
The recycled rubber is incorporated into the outsole, providing durability and traction while reducing the environmental impact associated with virgin rubber production.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the organic cotton canvas upper is not waterproof. These trainers offer breathability but will not protect against heavy rain or submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after initial wear.
Canvas can stretch slightly. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have selected the correct size before extended wear.
Dirt or stains on canvas upper.
Use a soft brush or a dedicated canvas shoe cleaner. For minor stains, a damp cloth with mild soap may suffice. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Insole feels uncomfortable or worn.
The Ortholite insole is designed for cushioning. If it becomes uncomfortable, check for debris underneath or consider replacing it with a compatible aftermarket insole, ensuring it is the correct size and shape.
