FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the cotton construction is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light damp conditions.
Do I need to untie the laces to take them off?
No, the side zipper is designed to allow you to put them on and take them off without adjusting the laces once set.
Can I wash these in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the high heat and agitation can damage the rubber adhesive and the zipper mechanism.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Pampa design generally provides a standard fit, but the lace-up front allows for some adjustability to accommodate different foot widths.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Ortholite foam insole is removable, making it easy to clean or replace with a custom orthotic if needed.
What is the best way to clean the rubber toecap?
A damp cloth with a mild detergent is usually sufficient to remove scuffs and dirt from the rubber toecap.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a pencil lead along the teeth to help the slider move smoothly.
Insole becomes flattened over time
Remove the Ortholite insert, allow it to air out for 24 hours, or replace it with a new compatible ergonomic insole.
Cotton upper appearing dull or dirty
Use a specialized fabric cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to lift embedded dirt, then allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium trainers remain in optimal condition, begin by adjusting the laces to your preferred tension upon first wear; thereafter, use the side zipper for daily access. The shoes are compatible with most casual denim, chinos, or cargo trousers due to their neutral brown tone and sleek profile. For care, keep the cotton upper clean by wiping away dust with a dry brush. If the trainers become heavily soiled, spot clean with a mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber elements from warping or the cotton from fading.
