FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are water-resistant due to their canvas material and construction, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the Palladium sizing chart provided by the retailer. Sizing can vary between brands.
Can the collar be worn up or down?
Yes, the design features a 'baggy collar' that can be worn folded down for a different look, secured by a snap loop.
What is the heel height?
The heel/outsole height is approximately 25mm.
Is the insole removable?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
These boots are designed for urban environments and casual wear. While they offer good grip and durability for light trails, they are not specialized hiking boots and may lack the necessary support and protection for strenuous hiking.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched to a lasting board. This typically results in a more flexible and lighter shoe.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing to your preference. If the overall fit is incorrect, consult the sizing chart and consider exchanging for a different size.
Canvas material seems stiff initially.
This is normal for durable canvas. Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in. The material will soften with use.
Color transfer onto socks.
While unlikely with proper manufacturing, some dark dyes can transfer when new and wet. This should minimize after the first few wears or washes (if applicable to the socks). Ensure the boots are fully dry before wearing.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but caution is advised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure laces are tied to your desired tightness using the round nylon laces and round eyelets. The snap loop on the top eyelet allows for an extra secure closure if needed.
Compatibility: Suitable for unisex adult wear. They pair well with various casual outfits, including jeans, cargo pants, and shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the organic cotton canvas with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. For stubborn marks, a damp cloth is sufficient.
- Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed with mild detergent, then air-dried.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable bag.
