FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Pampa Oxford is constructed from cotton canvas and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp urban conditions.
What is the best way to clean the canvas upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a damp cloth rinse. Always air dry.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The one-piece molded rubber outsole is designed for excellent durability and traction in urban environments, providing a long lifespan for everyday use.
What type of support do these shoes offer?
They feature an EVA-cushioned footbed and a hugging heel cup designed to cradle the foot and provide lasting support during extended wear.
Can I wear these for hiking?
While the outsole offers good traction, these shoes are primarily designed for urban exploration and casual wear, not for rugged hiking trails.
What is the weight of the material used?
The cotton canvas upper weighs 397 grams, and the cotton canvas lining weighs 227 grams.
Do these shoes come in other colors or styles?
The Pampa Oxford series offers various styles and colors. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-weight socks for a few hours each day to allow the canvas to stretch slightly. You can also try loosening the laces.
Canvas shows signs of wear or fading
The faded appearance is a characteristic of the washed canvas. For cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. If wear is significant, it may be time to consider replacement.
Discomfort in the heel
Ensure the heel cup is properly cradling your foot. If persistent, consider using an aftermarket insole for additional support, though the built-in cushioning is designed for comfort.

Care:
