FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

The Palla Ace Chukka Organic Low Shoes are designed for casual wear and urban environments. While the outsole provides decent traction, they are not specifically engineered for strenuous hiking and may lack the necessary support and durability for rugged trails.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made from soft, washed organic cotton canvas.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are not waterproof. The organic canvas upper is susceptible to water penetration. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

Is the insole removable?

No, the insole is not designed to be removable.

What is the main inspiration behind the Palla Ace Chukka design?

The design is inspired by Palladium's rich sports archives and the distinctive elements of their legendary Pampa boots, combined with a chukka silhouette.

How should I care for the organic canvas material?

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially.

The organic canvas may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Canvas shows minor scuffs or marks.

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Laces are difficult to keep tied.

Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Replace laces if they are worn or slippery.

Odors develop inside the shoe.

Remove insoles (if possible, though these are not removable) and allow shoes to air out completely. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
