FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Palladium Pampa Hi boots are made of leather and offer some resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, it is recommended to use a waterproofing spray and avoid prolonged exposure to water.
How do I clean mud off the boots?
Allow the mud to dry first, then brush off as much as possible with a soft brush. Use a slightly damp cloth or a leather cleaner for any remaining residue. Ensure the boots are fully dry before conditioning or storing.
What is the best way to store these boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using boot trees can help maintain their shape. Ensure they are clean and conditioned before long-term storage.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
Yes, the leather is breathable, making them suitable for warmer weather. However, they may feel warmer than canvas shoes. Pairing them with appropriate socks can enhance comfort.
What does 'Pampa Hi' refer to?
'Pampa' refers to the iconic style of the boot, inspired by military boots. 'Hi' indicates the high-top silhouette that covers the ankle.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh weather or dry conditions.
Is the green colour fade-resistant?
The leather is dyed, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Proper care and storage can help maintain the colour's vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to allow the leather to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if a different lacing pattern might help.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner generously. Allow it to soak in, then buff off any excess. Repeat if necessary.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth. Gently work the zip up and down to loosen it.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For significantly slippery conditions, consider the limitations of the boot's tread pattern for that specific surface.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner regularly (e.g., every 3-6 months, depending on use) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a neutral or green-coloured shoe polish to maintain the colour.
- Drying: If the boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather, especially before wearing them in wet conditions.
