Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa trainers are designed for adults seeking versatile, urban-ready footwear that can handle various weather conditions. Their key benefit lies in the combination of stylish, low-cut design with robust, waterproof technology and superior grip. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit or feel of the quick-lace system, which differs from traditional laces. These trainers are crafted for urban exploration, featuring a Waterproof Advanced membrane, a durable Vibram® outsole for excellent traction, and an easy-to-use quick-lace toggle for swift adjustments, all while drawing inspiration from Palladium's French heritage.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa trainers are designed primarily for urban exploration and everyday wear. While the Vibram® outsole offers good grip, they are not intended for strenuous, technical hiking. For serious trail use, a dedicated hiking boot is recommended.
How do I clean the waterproof membrane?
The Waterproof Advanced (WPA) membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction. To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water or abrasive cleaners directly on the shoe, as this could compromise the membrane's integrity over time.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
These trainers feature a breathable waterproof membrane, which aids in ventilation. However, they are primarily designed for protection against water. In very hot and humid conditions, they may not offer the same level of breathability as shoes made purely from natural, non-waterproof materials.
What does 'Vegan' mean for these shoes?
The 'Vegan' designation means that no animal-derived materials or by-products were used in the construction of these shoes, including the upper, lining, insock, and outsole.
How do I replace the elastic laces?
The elastic laces can be replaced by unthreading the old laces from the eyelets and threading the new laces through. Ensure the new laces are compatible with the quick-lace toggle system. You can find replacement elastic lacing systems online or at outdoor/sporting goods stores.
What is the heel height?
The heel height, including the outsole, is approximately 54mm.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is designed to be removable, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the shoes.
Ensure the quick-lace system is tightened securely. Check for any visible damage to the upper material or seams. If the shoes have been heavily used or washed, the waterproof treatment may need to be reapplied using a suitable product for synthetic and waterproof footwear. Allow shoes to air dry completely before re-treating.
Quick-lace toggle is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and not tangled. Gently flex the toggle mechanism; sometimes, minor debris can obstruct movement. If the laces appear worn or frayed, they may need replacement.
Soles feel slippery.
The Vibram® outsole is designed for grip, but performance can be reduced on extremely polished or contaminated surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of mud, oil, or debris. If the shoes are new, the outsole may have a slight break-in period. Check for signs of excessive wear on the sole pattern.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after a short period.
Adjust the quick-lace system for a more personalized fit. Consider removing the insole and replacing it with a different one that provides better arch support or cushioning if needed. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the weather and activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the waterproof membrane or materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or fires, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, especially after significant wear or cleaning, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for synthetic materials and waterproof membranes to refresh the protective layer. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
