FAQs
Are the Palladium Pampa Oxford shoes waterproof?
The Pampa Oxford features a canvas upper, which is not inherently waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend treating the canvas with a water-repellent spray if you anticipate exposure to dampness.
How do I clean the canvas upper?
For best results, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Stubborn stains can be treated with a damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
What is the Pampa Oxford made of?
The upper is constructed from 14 oz 100% cotton canvas. The lining is 100% polyester, and the insole is a cut EVA with a 100% polyester surface. The outsole and toe cap are made from a combination of rubber and cut EVA.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
The Pampa Oxford has a unisex design. While the canvas upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them to be snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider if the canvas material will stretch sufficiently for your comfort.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the cut EVA insole can be removed. If you prefer additional arch support or cushioning, you can insert compatible aftermarket insoles.
What is the main advantage of the Pampa Oxford?
The Pampa Oxford offers a unique blend of heritage design, urban durability thanks to its molded outsole, and everyday comfort provided by the Paradrop insole, all within a stylish, unisex profile.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with medium-thickness socks to help stretch the canvas slightly. Ensure you have selected the correct size. Some users find wearing them for short periods initially helps break them in.
Canvas shows dirt or scuffs
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a small amount of mild soap and water with a damp cloth and gently scrub. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Insole feels flat after extended use
The Paradrop insole is designed for comfort but may compress over time. For added cushioning, consider using a compatible aftermarket insole.
Laces are dirty
Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Lay flat to dry.
