FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are made from leather nubuck and have a warm lining, making them suitable for cool, dry weather. They are not fully waterproof and may be susceptible to water damage or staining if exposed to heavy rain or wet conditions without protective treatment.
How do I clean the synthetic wool lining?
The lining can be spot-cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material. Ensure the trainers are thoroughly air-dried before use.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added comfort and support.
What is the best way to maintain the leather nubuck finish?
Regularly brush the nubuck with a specialized brush to remove surface dirt. Use a nubuck cleaner for stains and consider applying a protective spray designed for nubuck or suede to help repel water and stains.
Are these suitable for hiking or outdoor adventures?
These trainers are best suited for urban environments and casual wear. While they offer good grip on paved surfaces, they are not designed for rugged terrain or strenuous outdoor activities.
How does the sizing run?
Palladium trainers generally follow standard UK sizing. It is recommended to refer to size guides and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.
Troubleshooting
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zip up and down to loosen it.
Leather nubuck shows water stains
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a nubuck brush to restore the texture. For persistent stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Insole feels uncomfortable
The insole is removable. Try adjusting its position or replace it with a different insole for customized comfort.
General dirt and scuff marks on the upper
Use a dedicated nubuck cleaning brush for dry dirt and scuffs. For tougher marks, use a nubuck cleaning eraser or cleaner, following product instructions.

Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Nubuck: Use a specialized nubuck or suede cleaner and brush. Avoid using water directly, as it can stain the material. For minor scuffs, a clean, dry brush can often suffice. A protective spray specifically for nubuck can help repel water and stains.
- Lining: The synthetic wool lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary. Ensure the trainers are completely dry before wearing.
- Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Mild soap can be used for tougher grime.
