Designed for those who value both aesthetics and practical comfort, these trainers offer a mid-cut silhouette that protects the foot while remaining versatile for weekend errands or city commutes.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are water-resistant due to the leather upper, but not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a protective leather spray.
Is the Palla Ace series true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the leather material may feel snug at first before conforming to your foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for light hiking?
They are designed for urban environments and casual wear; while durable, they are not intended for technical trail hiking.
Does the leather fade over time?
Like all natural leathers, they may develop a unique patina over time, which adds character to the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will stretch and soften with wear; try wearing them for short intervals at home with thicker socks to speed up the break-in process.
Visible scuffs on the leather
Use a matching shoe cream or a neutral leather balm to buff out light surface scuffs and restore the finish.
Outsole collecting dirt in treads
Use a soft-bristle brush to clear out debris from the grooves of the sole to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium Palla Ace trainers last for seasons to come, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the leather to mold to your unique foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a slightly damp, soft cloth to remove city dust and grime. Do not submerge in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather-specific water repellent spray before your first wear to enhance moisture resistance.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes stiff, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness.
