FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The Ace City Shell Lo trainers are water-resistant due to their durable upper material, but they are not fully waterproof. They offer protection against light rain and splashes but are not designed for submersion in water.
What is the primary benefit of the textured outsole?
The primary benefit of the textured outsole is enhanced traction and stability on a variety of urban surfaces, providing confidence and safety in diverse weather and ground conditions.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product sizing chart provided by Palladium or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing follows standard measurements, but it's always best to consult a specific size guide for footwear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
Yes, the micro ripstop upper provides good resistance to light rain and splashes, making them suitable for wet weather conditions. However, for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wetness, additional waterproofing may be beneficial.

These trainers are designed for the urban explorer, suitable for daily commutes, walking around the city, and general casual wear. They blend style with rugged functionality for everyday adventures.
How durable is the micro ripstop upper?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
The Ace City Shell Lo trainers may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet. Ensure you have the correct size.
Traction seems inconsistent on very smooth surfaces
While designed for varied urban textures, extremely smooth, wet surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect grip. Consider alternative footwear for highly polished indoor environments if extreme grip is paramount.
Dirt accumulates in outsole treads
Use a stiff brush or a blunt tool (like a toothpick or key) to gently dislodge dirt from the outsole treads. Follow up with a damp cloth for cleaning.
Micro ripstop upper appears dirty
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the micro ripstop upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution, ensuring all residue is removed.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
