FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, the Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa features a Waterproof Advanced (WPA) membrane designed to provide breathable protection against water, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
These are unisex trainers. We recommend checking a sizing chart and comparing it with your usual shoe size. Measure your foot length for the most accurate fit, as unisex sizing can sometimes differ from gender-specific sizing.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
The trainers are designed for all-weather urban exploration. While the WPA membrane offers breathability, the polyester upper may feel warm in very high temperatures compared to more open-weave materials.
What is the heel height?
The heel/outsole height is approximately 54mm.
Are the insocks removable?
Yes, the insock is removable, allowing for easy cleaning or the use of custom orthotics.
How do I clean the Vibram® outsole?
You can clean the Vibram® outsole using a brush or a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris, ensuring optimal grip.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While the Vibram® outsole offers good grip and durability, these trainers are primarily designed for urban exploration. They are suitable for light outdoor activities like walking on well-maintained trails or in parks, but not for rugged or technical hiking.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting the quick-lace toggle
Ensure the laces are not tangled. Push the toggle firmly to lock or release the laces. If it feels stuck, gently wiggle the toggle while applying pressure.
Feet feeling damp despite waterproof claims
Confirm that all seams and closures are properly secured. The waterproofing is designed for external moisture; significant submersion may exceed its limits. Ensure the shoe is not damaged, as this could compromise the membrane.
Traction seems reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly to remove any mud, dirt, or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. The outsole performs best when clean.
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The polyester and rubber materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
