FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
The Ace City Shel Chukka Trainers are designed primarily for urban environments and offer good traction. For rugged, uneven terrain or extensive hiking, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart provided by the retailer. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store, if possible, is the most reliable method.
Can these trainers be worn in rainy weather?
The micro ripstop upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it is advisable to wear waterproof footwear.
What is the main difference between the 'Ace City Shel' and 'Ace City Shel Chukka'?
The 'Chukka' designation typically refers to a specific boot or shoe silhouette, often characterized by its ankle height and lacing. The 'Ace City Shel Chukka' likely refers to a specific style within the broader 'Ace City Shel' line, featuring the chukka design.
How durable is the micro ripstop upper?
Micro ripstop is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, making it very resistant to tearing and ripping, thus contributing to the overall durability of the trainers for everyday use.
Can I put these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, construction, and adhesives. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best approach.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check the sizing is correct.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for traction, extremely wet or oily surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. The varied rubber textures offer enhanced grip but do not make the footwear completely slip-proof on all surfaces.
Appearance of scuffs or marks on the upper
Minor scuffs can often be removed by wiping gently with a damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, consider using a specialized cleaner for textile or ripstop materials, following product instructions carefully.
Soles feel stiff
The specialized outsole is designed for durability and support. Stiffness will reduce with wear as the material softens and conforms to your foot's movement.
