FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane. Use hand cleaning methods instead.
Are they suitable for heavy hiking?
They are designed for light-to-moderate terrain and urban trails. They are not intended for technical mountaineering or extremely rough off-trail trekking.
How does the Gore-Tex lining work?
The Gore-Tex membrane is a waterproof, breathable fabric that allows moisture vapor to escape from inside the shoe while preventing liquid water from entering.
Do I need to treat the leather before my first wear?
The shoes come treated, but applying a high-quality leather conditioner can provide extra protection and prolong the lifespan of the material.
Is the sole removable?
The Pallarider Lo Gtx features an insole that can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics for better arch support.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tied securely and verify the leather is not cracked. If the exterior leather is dry and scuffed, re-apply a protective waterproofing treatment.
Stiff feel during initial wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the material to mold to your foot shape before attempting long hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Pallarider Lo Gtx remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe off mud and debris with a soft, damp cloth after outdoor use. For stubborn dirt, use a soft-bristled brush.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather or damage the Gore-Tex membrane.
- Leather Care: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness. Use a waterproofing spray specifically formulated for Gore-Tex to preserve the exterior water-repellency.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
