FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the Gore-Tex membrane. Please clean them by hand.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
These are designed for urban and light outdoor terrain. They are not intended for technical mountaineering.
How do I know my size?
Palladium sizing typically follows standard UK adult sizing. Use a Brannock device or measure your foot length to compare with our size guide.
Do I need to apply waterproofing spray?
The shoes feature an integrated Gore-Tex membrane, so they are inherently waterproof. However, you can use a leather-specific water repellent to keep the outer surface from soaking up moisture.
Is the sole replaceable?
The Vibram outsole is fused to the midsole for durability and is not designed for traditional resoling.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to close the tongue gap and check that the Gore-Tex membrane has not been punctured by sharp debris.
Stiff or uncomfortable fit
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with thick socks to help stretch the leather and break in the material naturally.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the bottom of the Vibram rubber with warm soapy water and a stiff-bristled brush to remove embedded grit or mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium footwear, perform a quick check of the fit upon arrival by walking on indoor surfaces. To clean, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, and wipe the leather with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the Gore-Tex membrane. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can crack the leather and damage the waterproofing seals. Consider using a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
