FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The grained oiled leather offers a degree of water resistance, making them suitable for light rain. For full waterproofing in heavy downpours, consider applying a dedicated leather waterproofing spray.
How do I clean the canvas lining?
For the canvas lining, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. Avoid soaking the lining. For stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely.
What is the best way to care for the oiled leather?
Regularly wipe with a damp cloth. Apply a specialized leather conditioner for oiled leather every few months to maintain suppleness and protect the material. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
The boots feature a cotton canvas lining for breathability, but the leather upper can make them warmer than fabric-only footwear. They are generally comfortable for most seasons but may feel warm in very high temperatures.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
These boots are designed for a standard fit. If you are between sizes, consider your typical sock thickness. Given the leather may stretch slightly with wear, ordering your usual size or the smaller of the two if you prefer a snugger fit is often recommended.
Do these boots come in other colors?
The Palladium Pampa Zip series is available in various colors. Please check the product listings for specific color options, as availability can vary.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Leather surface shows minor scuffs or scratches.
Small scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a leather conditioner or a leather repair balm specifically designed for the color and type of your boots.
Difficulty with the side zip.
Ensure the surrounding leather is not obstructing the zipper. If the zipper feels stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or a zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, all rubber soles can become slick on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For added grip in very slick conditions, consider a rubber sole treatment.
