The Palladium Pampa Hi is a quintessential choice for adults seeking a durable, heritage-inspired trainer that excels in urban environments. Featuring a rugged construction with a 14oz canvas upper and a reliable rubber outsole, these trainers offer long-lasting wear and comfort for everyday commuting and casual exploration.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find that the Palladium Pampa Hi fits true to size. If you plan on wearing thick winter socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally recommended to hand wash your Palladiums to maintain the structural integrity of the rubber sole and canvas bonding.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are water-resistant to a degree, but heavy rain will penetrate the fabric.
Do these provide good arch support?
They feature a cushioned EVA sole, but if you require significant orthotic arch support, you may wish to replace the standard insole with an aftermarket orthotic.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from 14oz durable canvas, and the lining consists of 6oz canvas for comfort.
Is the sole non-marking?
The robust rubber sole is designed for high traction, though it is standard practice to test on sensitive indoor flooring if you are concerned about marks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
The 14oz canvas is durable and requires a break-in period. Wear them for a few hours at a time with thicker socks to gently stretch the material.
Difficulty keeping the white rubber toe cap clean
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush to buff away surface marks.
Laces constantly coming untied
Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure reef knot, as the cotton laces may be slippery when new; they will grip better once they have been worn a few times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium Pampa Hi trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your new trainers for shorter durations during the first week to allow the canvas to conform to the shape of your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust from the canvas. For deeper stains, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent canvas fading.
- Protection: Apply a fabric-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions, though keep in mind they are not designed for deep puddles or heavy rain.
