FAQs
Are the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but are not designed for heavy rain or submersion. A fabric protector spray can add some water repellency.
How do I determine the correct size?
These are unisex boots. Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and measure your foot length. Given the unisex nature, consider trying them on if possible or checking customer reviews for fit advice.
Can the insole be removed or replaced?
The insoles are not designed to be removable. Therefore, you cannot easily replace them with custom orthotics.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric lining (the strobel) that forms the insole. This method typically results in a flexible and durable shoe.
Are these boots suitable for winter weather?
The boots are suitable for mild winter conditions due to their durable construction. However, they are not insulated or waterproof, so they are best for dry, cold weather rather than heavy snow or ice.
How do I clean the reverse corduroy collar?
For the corduroy collar, use a soft brush to gently remove surface dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and dab gently. Avoid saturating the material.
What is BCI cotton?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It's a global non-profit that promotes better standards in cotton farming, focusing on environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel difficult to tighten or loosen.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and are not twisted. Try lacing them with less tension initially and then tightening gradually.
Boots feel stiff during the first few wears.
This is normal for new canvas boots. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Walking around will naturally soften the material.
Discoloration on the canvas upper.
If discoloration is due to dirt, try cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. If it's a different substance, consult a specialist cleaner for canvas footwear.
The foldable collar does not stay up.
The collar is designed to be folded down for styling. If it feels loose when worn up, ensure the laces are sufficiently tightened through the top eyelets, including the snap loop if used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Simply adjust the laces to your preferred fit. The shoe closure system uses laces and a snap loop on the top eyelet for a secure fastening.
Compatibility: The unisex design makes them suitable for a wide range of wearers. They pair well with various casual outfits, including jeans, chinos, and casual dresses or skirts.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the organic cotton canvas. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Outsole Maintenance: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Lace Care: Laces can be hand-washed or replaced if necessary.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
- Water Protection: While the rubber elements offer some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas if extra water resistance is desired, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
