FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy hiking?
They are designed for light trails and mixed urban/outdoor use. For technical, rocky, or vertical mountaineering, a dedicated hiking boot with more ankle support is recommended.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the leather and degrade the Gore-Tex membrane. Always clean them by hand.
How do I ensure a good fit?
The Pallarider Lo GTX fits true to size. We recommend wearing the type of socks you intend to use on your walks when trying them on to ensure adequate room.
Do I need to break them in?
As they are constructed from genuine leather, a short break-in period is normal. Wear them for short walks initially to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
Are they breathable?
Yes, the integrated Gore-Tex technology is specifically engineered to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be seeping through
The exterior leather may need a fresh application of a waterproofing leather conditioner to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check the outsole for lodged debris, small stones, or compacted mud, which can fill the lug patterns and reduce grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat sources like radiators, as this can crack the leather. Clean the surface after muddy excursions using a soft brush or damp cloth. For the Gore-Tex membrane to function correctly, ensure the leather is treated with appropriate waterproofing products as needed. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use, and consider using cedar shoe trees to help them maintain their shape after long walks.
