These boots offer the durability of the classic Pampa Hi silhouette combined with a soft nubuck exterior and a heat-retaining lining, making them an ideal choice for daily commutes and city walking.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Pampa Hi Zip Wl is water-resistant thanks to the nubuck material, but it is not fully waterproof. It is best to treat them with a water-repellent spray.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal EVA insole is designed to provide support, but you can swap it for a custom orthotic if needed.
Do I need to use the laces every time?
Once you have adjusted the laces for a comfortable fit, you can keep them tied and rely on the medial zipper for quick entry and exit.
How do I care for the leather pull tab?
The pull tab can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water.
Are these suitable for heavy snow?
These are lifestyle boots intended for urban environments. While they have a warm lining, they are not designed for deep snow or extreme winter climates.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to pull up or down
Check for debris caught in the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric flap is not obstructing the path. You can rub a small amount of clear candle wax on the teeth to help the slider move smoothly.
Water spots on the nubuck
Allow the boots to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a nubuck eraser or a soft-bristled brush to buff out the mark.
Boots feel slightly tight across the instep
Loosen the two-tone flat laces significantly before using the side zipper to ensure you have enough slack to slide your foot in comfortably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium boots, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck before the first wear.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt. Avoid using water or standard soap, which can damage the texture.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
- Zipper Maintenance: If the zipper becomes stiff, apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant or use a graphite pencil to ease the movement of the teeth.
- Fit: These boots fit true to size. Ensure you wear them with appropriate socks to maximize the benefit of the inner lining.
