FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Palladium Pampa Hi Zip boots are water-resistant due to their textile and rubber construction, making them suitable for light rain or damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots are available in UK sizing. Refer to a standard UK women's size chart to find your equivalent. The lace-up closure allows for some adjustment, but ensuring the correct length and width is crucial for comfort.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The textile upper and cotton canvas lining offer good breathability, making them comfortable for warmer weather compared to fully synthetic boots. However, they are still boots, so consider lighter footwear options if extreme heat is expected.
What is the heel height?
The heel height of these boots is approximately 25 mm (or 1 inch).
How durable is the textile upper?
The 100% textile upper is designed for durability for everyday wear. The reinforced rubber toe cap further enhances longevity and protection against scuffs.
Is the green color accurate to the images?
Color representation can vary slightly depending on screen settings and lighting. The 'Green' color typically refers to a khaki or olive shade, consistent with Palladium's Pampa line.
Troubleshooting
Boots are stiff and uncomfortable
Wear the boots with thick socks around the house for a few hours each day to break them in. Gently flexing the boots manually can also help soften the materials.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For significantly slippery conditions, exercise caution. Consider a spray-on traction enhancer if needed, but be aware this may alter the boot's appearance or breathability.
Color transfer onto socks
This can sometimes occur with new textile items. Washing socks separately for the first few washes may help. If the issue persists, the dye may not be fully set, and it's advisable to wear darker socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These boots require no specific setup beyond ensuring they fit correctly. The lace-up closure allows for adjustable fitting, while the side zipper provides quick access.
Compatibility:
Designed for adult female wearers, these boots are versatile and pair well with a wide range of casual attire including jeans, trousers, shorts, and casual dresses. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the textile upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Lining: The cotton canvas lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the interior.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Rubber outsoles can be cleaned with water and a brush to remove mud or debris.
- Insole Care: The cork insole can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely if it becomes wet.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing: While the materials offer some resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. For increased water repellency in wet conditions, consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for textile footwear (test on an inconspicuous area first).
