FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the leather upper. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild brush.
Is the insulation suitable for extreme arctic weather?
These are rated for cold-weather exploration and typical winter conditions, but for extreme sub-zero arctic environments, professional-grade insulated boots may be required.
Do I need to size up for thick socks?
The fit is generally true to size, but if you prefer wearing very thick wool socks, you might consider sizing up by a half size to maintain circulation.
Can I use these for summer hiking?
While the sole is great for hiking, the Thinsulate insulation and waterproof construction are designed to retain heat, which may make them too warm for summer use.
How do I maintain the waterproof coating?
Periodically clean the shoes and apply a high-quality leather water-repellent spray designed for waterproof-breathable footwear.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness after wearing
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for shorter durations with thicker socks until the material softens to your foot shape.
Laces coming loose
Ensure you are using a double knot through the D-ring system, which is designed to hold tension better than standard fabric eyelets.
Reduced grip on ice
While Vibram outsoles offer excellent traction, no rubber compound is fully slip-proof on solid sheet ice; adjust your stride on extremely slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines. Before your first outing, consider applying a leather-safe waterproof spray to reinforce the existing membrane. Always undo the laces fully before taking the shoes off to maintain the integrity of the heel counter. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and wipe the leather with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
