FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are made with organic cotton canvas and are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions may lead to the material getting wet.
How do I clean the organic cotton canvas?
To clean the canvas, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution or a dedicated canvas cleaner can be used. Always allow the boots to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat.
Can the collar be worn up or down?
Yes, the 'baggy' collar is designed to be foldable. You can wear it folded down to reveal the corduroy lining for a different style, or folded up for a more traditional boot appearance.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
These boots are best suited for light outdoor activities like walking on paved paths or well-maintained trails. They are not designed for rugged hiking or challenging terrain.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean?
Strobel construction is a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric layer (insole), which is then cemented to the midsole. This typically results in a flexible and lighter shoe with a comfortable fit.
Is the insole removable?
No, the insole is not designed to be removed.
Are these boots vegan?
Yes, the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are made from vegan-friendly materials.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces using the lacing system to achieve a personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; refer to the sizing chart if unsure.
Canvas material shows dirt or stains
Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized canvas cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Allow to air dry.
Rubber outsole appears scuffed
Minor scuffs on the rubber can often be removed with a damp cloth or a pencil eraser. For more significant marks, a rubber cleaner might be necessary.
Laces are worn or frayed
Replace the laces with a new pair of round nylon laces of a similar length. You can often find suitable replacements at shoe repair shops or online.
