FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Pampa Hi HTG Supply boots are primarily constructed with an organic cotton upper and are not fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are best suited for dry or mildly damp urban conditions. For heavy rain or wet environments, water-resistant footwear is recommended.
What is the best way to clean the organic cotton?
For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with a mild soap solution is recommended. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from heat.
Do these boots run true to size?
Palladium boots are generally considered to run true to size. However, it is always recommended to check the specific sizing chart and consider the type of socks you typically wear when determining your best fit. Some users find they prefer a half-size larger if they anticipate wearing very thick socks.
Can I wear these boots in the winter?
These boots are suitable for casual wear in cooler weather, but they are not insulated for extreme winter conditions. They can be worn in light snow or cold, especially with warm socks, but are not designed for deep snow or ice.
What does 'HTG Supply' mean?
HTG typically stands for 'High-Tech Ground' or similar variations, often indicating a more modern or feature-enhanced version of a classic style. 'Supply' likely refers to design elements inspired by workwear or military surplus styles.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
While durable for urban use, these boots are not specifically designed for rigorous hiking. They lack the specialized support and tread patterns required for challenging trails. They are best suited for light walking and city exploration.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the boots for short periods each day to allow them to break in. Walking indoors on soft surfaces can also help speed up the process. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are threaded evenly. If the laces are slippery, consider replacing them with a different material or tying a double knot.
Slight discoloration on the cotton upper
Attempt to clean the area gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent discoloration, a professional shoe cleaner might be required.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The grip may be reduced on very wet surfaces. Always exercise caution when walking in wet conditions. Ensure the sole is clean, as debris can affect traction.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the organic cotton upper, use a soft brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the fabric.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the recycled rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly stiffer brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the boot's shape.
