FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, insulation, and the waterproof membrane. Always hand-clean them with a damp cloth.
Can I wear these in the summer?
Due to the Thinsulate insulation, these shoes are designed specifically for cold weather and will likely be too warm for summer use.
Are they truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a waterproof plus membrane designed to keep feet dry in wet, snowy conditions.
How should I choose the right size?
The sizes follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend checking your current comfortable shoe size or using a size guide based on foot length.
Do I need to break them in?
Leather shoes typically require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain or immersion
Check for cracks in the leather or damage to the mudguard. Ensure the footwear is properly cared for with water-repellent treatments.
Feeling dampness inside despite the waterproof membrane
This is often caused by condensation from sweat rather than external water. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to manage internal humidity.
Loss of traction on icy surfaces
Check the Vibram outsole for debris stuck in the treads. While the outsole is high-traction, extreme ice conditions may still require additional traction aids like micro-spikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium shoes maintain their performance, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and mud using a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner designed for outdoor footwear.
- Drying: Always let shoes air dry at room temperature. Never place them directly on radiators or heaters, as excessive heat can cause the leather to crack and damage the waterproofing membrane.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray periodically to maintain the exterior surface integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
