FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They feature a waxed cotton upper which provides water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waxed finish and the leather detailing. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, most Palladium boots feature removable insoles, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
What is the best way to break them in?
Wear them for short periods around the house or on short walks to allow the waxed cotton and leather to soften to your foot shape.
Is the material breathable?
The cotton base is breathable, though the wax coating slightly reduces airflow compared to standard untreated canvas.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track; you can apply a small amount of paraffin wax to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
Waxed surface looks dull or scratched.
Light scuffs are part of the material's aesthetic, but you can restore the finish by using a hairdryer on a low setting to gently warm and redistribute the existing wax.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium boots, keep the following care instructions in mind:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid using harsh detergents which can strip the wax coating from the cotton.
- Wax Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance fades, you can re-apply a specialized fabric wax treatment to the cotton areas.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather and fabric from fading or becoming brittle.
- Fitment: These are designed for standard adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker thermal socks, you may consider if your typical size allows for enough internal volume.
