FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The waxed cotton upper provides water-resistance against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof, especially in heavy downpours.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can strip the protective wax coating and damage the leather detailing.

How does the sizing run?

The Palla Ace typically aligns with standard UK sizing; however, since these are unisex, consider your preference for a snug versus loose fit.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, which allows for the use of custom orthotics if needed.

What is the best way to clean the leather accents?

Use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner, ensuring you wipe away excess moisture immediately to prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

Medial zipper feels stiff

Clear any trapped fabric or dirt from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil tip to the teeth to improve sliding.

Waxed surface looks dull

Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a light layer of re-waxing compound, buffing it in evenly with a clean, soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. For the best fit, ensure you are utilizing the correct UK sizing (UK 5.5 for this specific model). To maintain the longevity of your Palladiums:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off dried dirt or mud with a soft-bristled brush.
  2. Wax Maintenance: If the water-resistance begins to fade, apply a dedicated fabric wax treatment to the cotton upper.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out.
  4. Zipper Care: Keep the medial zipper free of debris and periodically wipe it with a damp cloth to ensure smooth operation.
