FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While the Ace City Shell Lo offers excellent traction for urban terrain, including light gravel, they are primarily designed for city exploration. For serious hiking with significant elevation changes or rough trails, a dedicated hiking boot would be more appropriate.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and measure your foot length. The Ace City Shell Lo should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box for comfort during movement.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Always clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the main benefit of the textured outsole?
The varied rubber textures on the outsole are strategically placed to provide enhanced grip, stability, and durability on different urban surfaces, such as wet pavement, concrete, and uneven ground.
Is the micro ripstop upper waterproof?
The micro ripstop upper is highly water-resistant due to its tight weave and material, offering protection against light rain and splashes. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged submersion.
How long does the shoe typically last?
With proper care and regular use in urban environments, the Ace City Shell Lo is designed for durability. The lifespan can vary depending on usage intensity, but the resilient materials aim to provide long-term wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff upon first wear.
This is normal for shoes with a robust, textured outsole. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the shoe to break in and conform to your foot.
Traction is not as expected on a specific surface.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. Different rubber textures are optimized for varied surfaces; consult the product description for specific grip features.
Laces are difficult to keep tied.
Ensure laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Use a double knot for extra security, especially during rigorous activities.
Upper material appears dirty after light use.
Wipe down the micro ripstop upper with a damp cloth immediately after use to prevent dirt from setting in. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions for more stubborn marks.
