FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
These sneakers are best suited for light trails and urban environments. For strenuous hiking with uneven terrain or wet conditions, a more specialized hiking boot is recommended.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart provided by the retailer. Generally, compare your foot length in centimeters or inches to the corresponding UK size. Trying them on in-store is the most accurate method.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these sneakers, especially due to the linen upper and rubber sole, as it can damage the materials and construction.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Allow mud to dry first, then brush off as much as possible with a dry, soft brush. Follow up with a damp cloth for any remaining dirt, being careful not to saturate the linen.
What is the main advantage of the organic linen material?
Organic linen is breathable and naturally moisture-wicking, making the sneakers comfortable for wear, especially in warmer temperatures. It is also a more sustainable material choice.
Do these sneakers come in other colors?
Yes, the Palladium Pampa HI Zip Organic Sneaker is available in various colors, including green, pink, brown, and yellow, as indicated by sibling product listings.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Linen upper appears wrinkled.
Gently iron on a low heat setting with a cloth placed over the linen, or hang the shoes in a steamy bathroom for a short period to help release wrinkles.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the soles are clean and dry. For persistent slipperiness, lightly scuffing the soles with fine-grit sandpaper can sometimes improve traction, but do so with caution.
Discoloration on the linen material.
Address stains immediately with appropriate cleaning methods for linen. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can cause further discoloration or damage.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the linen material. For tougher stains, consider a specialized fabric cleaner suitable for linen, following product instructions carefully.
- Sole Maintenance: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape if storing for extended periods.
- Water Protection: While the rubber sole offers some protection, the linen upper is not waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a fabric protector spray designed for natural fibers if needed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
