FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof. We recommend using a leather-specific waterproofing spray for added protection.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Pampa Zip Wl Pilot series generally follows standard sizing. If you are between sizes or prefer wearing thicker socks, consider sizing up for optimal comfort.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or extra-cushioned inserts if desired.
Is this model suitable for harsh winter weather?
These are primarily designed for urban exploration and general casual wear. While the leather construction is durable, they do not feature heavy thermal insulation for extreme arctic conditions.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using wooden shoe trees to help retain their structure.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stuck or difficult to operate
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle wax rub to the teeth.
Leather surface appearing dry or dull
Apply a high-quality neutral leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine to the premium leather upper.
Creasing appearing near the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium shoes last, keep the leather clean by wiping away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth after every few wears. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents that may strip the finish from the embossed detailing. If the leather becomes wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as these can cause the material to crack. If you frequently walk in harsh weather, applying a leather-safe water repellent spray can help protect the finish and extend the material's lifespan.
