FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
The Palladium Rider Trainers feature a durable Vibram® outsole for good grip and are waterproof, making them suitable for light trail walking or urban exploration. However, they are primarily designed for city environments and may not offer the ankle support or heavy-duty protection required for strenuous, off-road hiking.
How do I clean the waterproof membrane?
The waterproof membrane is integrated into the shoe's construction. To clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap on the exterior. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly dried afterwards. Avoid soaking the shoes or using high heat, as this can compromise the membrane's integrity.
Can I replace the elastic laces with standard laces?
While technically possible, the quick-lace toggle system is designed to work with the elastic laces. Replacing them might affect the fit and functionality of the shoe, and standard laces may not work correctly with the toggle mechanism.
What does 'WPA' stand for regarding waterproofing?
WPA stands for Waterproof Advanced, indicating the shoe is equipped with a specific membrane or treatment designed to provide advanced water resistance and breathability.
How high is the heel/outsole?
The heel/outsole height is 54mm.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can vary between individuals. It is recommended to check Palladium's sizing chart and, if possible, try the shoes on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially considering the quick-lace system.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Please refer to the retailer or Palladium's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Elastic laces are too loose or too tight.
Adjust the toggle: slide it up to tighten the laces around your foot, or press the release mechanism to loosen them. Ensure the toggle is positioned securely when a comfortable fit is achieved.
Water seeping through despite waterproofing.
Check that the laces are fully tightened and the tongue is properly seated. Ensure no damage exists to the WPA membrane or seals. Allow shoes to dry completely and check for any tears or punctures.
Reduced grip on surfaces.
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure the elastic laces are adjusted for a comfortable, secure fit without being too constrictive. Consider removing the insole and replacing it with a more cushioned alternative if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the condition and performance of your trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the Vibram® outsole. A damp cloth can be used for stubborn marks.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper or absorbent paper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the WPA membrane is durable, avoid prolonged immersion in water. For deep cleaning, consult specialized footwear care guides.
- Insole Care: The removable insole can be taken out and washed gently with mild soap and water, then allowed to air dry completely before reinserting.
