FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The waxed finish provides good water resistance for light rain and damp conditions, but they are not fully waterproof, especially in deep puddles.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Pampa Sp20 Hi Wax is designed as a unisex model suitable for all adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the wax coating and the adhesive structure of the boots; clean them by hand only.
Do I need to break them in?
While generally comfortable out of the box, the waxed fabric will become significantly more flexible after a few days of consistent wear.
What is the primary material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), chosen for its lightweight and slip-resistant properties.
How should I clean the rubber toe-cap?
A simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap is sufficient to keep the rubber toe-cap clean.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff during first wear
This is normal for waxed canvas; wear them for short periods at first to allow the material to soften and adapt to your feet.
Waxed finish shows light streaks or creases
These are intended characteristics of the waxed fabric; you can use a hair dryer on a low setting to gently re-melt the wax and smooth out marks.
Outsole collecting small debris
Use a toothpick or the edge of a plastic brush to dislodge rocks or debris from the TPR tread patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the upper to break in correctly.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dirt from the outsole. For the waxed upper, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Keep boots in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the wax or rubber materials to degrade.
- Maintenance: If the waxed finish loses its water-repellent properties, consider using a fabric-safe wax conditioner specifically formulated for canvas-waxed footwear.
