FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Ace City Shell Chukka is designed for urban exploration and offers some water resistance due to its materials, but it is not fully waterproof. For significant wet weather, consider using a waterproofing spray.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Palladium, paying close attention to the UK sizing. These boots are unisex, so consult sizing guides for men and women if needed.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
The micro ripstop upper offers some breathability, making them suitable for moderate temperatures. For extreme heat, ensure adequate ventilation and consider the materials' properties.
What is the main difference between this and other Palladium boots?
The Ace City Shell Chukka distinguishes itself with its specific micro ripstop upper material and the unique, multi-textured outsole designed for enhanced urban grip. Its aesthetic also leans into an urban-military fusion.
Is the outsole replaceable?
The outsole is permanently attached. If you experience significant wear or damage, please contact Palladium customer support or a professional shoe repair service.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff on first wear
The unique outsole and ripstop upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Traction seems inconsistent on very smooth surfaces
The multi-textured outsole is designed for varied grip. On exceptionally smooth, polished surfaces, traction may differ. Ensure the outsole is clean, as debris can affect performance.
Discoloration on the ripstop upper
For minor marks, try cleaning with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing. If discoloration persists, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in technical fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: The Ace City Shell Chukka is designed for unisex adult wear. It pairs well with casual attire such as jeans, chinos, and utility trousers. While primarily an urban boot, its robust construction can handle light outdoor activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For tougher stains on the ripstop upper, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray suitable for textile and synthetic materials to enhance protection against moisture and stains, especially if exposed to wet conditions.
