FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
These boots are designed primarily for urban exploration with a focus on durability and grip on city surfaces. While they can handle light trails, they may not provide the specialized support or waterproofing needed for serious hiking.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Palladium. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the given measurements. Trying them on with your usual sock type is also advisable.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The micro ripstop upper offers some water resistance, and the outsole provides good grip on wet surfaces. However, they are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider using a waterproofing spray or avoiding prolonged exposure to excessive water.
What is the main difference of the Ace City Shell outsole?
The Ace City Shell outsole features specially designed, varied rubber textures to provide enhanced traction and stability on a wide range of urban terrain, improving grip compared to standard outsoles.
How should I clean the textured outsole?
Use a stiff brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For more ingrained dirt, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Is this boot suitable for winter?
These boots are suitable for general wear in cooler conditions but do not offer specialized insulation for extreme winter weather. For very cold or snowy conditions, consider layering with warm socks or opting for a more insulated boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. If new, wear them for short periods to allow them to break in. Consider using thinner socks or checking if the size is appropriate.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the textured outsole thoroughly with a brush and damp cloth to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be hindering grip.
Material scuffs easily
While the ripstop material is durable, deep scuffs may occur. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor surface marks, a specialized fabric cleaner might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Water seeping through
The boots have some water resistance, but are not fully waterproof. Reapply a fabric waterproofing spray to the upper. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent water ingress from the top.

Compatibility: The Palladium Ace City Shell Chukka boots are designed for general adult footwear needs, compatible with most casual and outdoor-oriented clothing. They are suitable for unisex wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the micro ripstop upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the textured outsole. For stubborn dirt, a damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals that might degrade the rubber texture.
- Waterproofing: While the ripstop upper offers some resistance, consider using a fabric-specific waterproofing spray to enhance protection against moisture, especially in wet conditions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and damage.
