FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
The boots offer good grip and durability for casual walks and light hiking trails. However, they are not designed as technical hiking boots and may lack the specialized support and waterproofing needed for demanding terrain.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart available on the product page or brand website. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided measurements. For half sizes, consider your sock thickness and personal preference for fit.
Can the collar be worn up or down?
Yes, the 'Baggy' design includes a collar that can be worn up for full coverage or folded down to reveal the reversed corduroy lining, offering stylistic versatility.
What does BCI cotton mean?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It signifies that the cotton used in the upper is sourced from farms that implement water efficiency, soil health, and pesticide management practices, contributing to more sustainable cotton production.
Are these boots waterproof?
These boots are made from cotton canvas and are not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary per individual. Most users find the boots comfortable after a few wears, with the canvas and sole becoming more flexible over time.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are not designed to be removable. However, if desired, a thin, flat insole designed to fit inside boots could potentially be added, though this may affect the overall fit.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull laces more firmly. For a looser fit, slacken the laces. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size; refer to sizing charts if needed.
Canvas upper is dirty or stained.
For general dirt, use a dry brush. For stains, apply a small amount of mild soap and water with a damp cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure laces are tied properly. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture between the insole and outsole; try removing the insole to dry completely.
Difficulty folding the collar.
Gently fold the collar down. The material may require a few wears to become more pliable. Avoid forcing the collar, as this could damage the material.
