Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Pallarider Lo GTX is designed for urban explorers and outdoor adventurers who require a versatile, low-top shoe that handles both city pavement and unpredictable trail conditions. Its key benefit is the combination of waterproof leather construction and high-traction soles, ensuring comfort in wet weather. One notable caveat is that the leather material may require a break-in period to achieve maximum comfort compared to lightweight synthetic footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to keep water out while allowing moisture vapor from your feet to escape.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
They are ideal for light hiking and urban trails, but for extreme mountaineering, you might prefer a boot with higher ankle support.
How do I choose the right size?
The Pallarider Lo GTX follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in most casual leather footwear.
Do I need to spray them with a waterproof treatment?
While the Gore-Tex membrane provides the primary waterproof protection, a leather-safe water-repellent spray can help keep the exterior leather from absorbing water.
Are they suitable for wide feet?
The unisex fit provides a moderate width; however, if you have exceptionally wide feet, you may find the leather takes a bit longer to break in.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied securely and check the leather for deep scratches or cracks that may have compromised the waterproof barrier.
Stiff leather feel
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner and wear the shoes for short periods around the house to help the material mold to your foot shape.
Slippery outsoles
Clean the Vibram tread thoroughly with a brush to remove embedded grit and mud that can obstruct the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium Pallarider Lo GTX, keep the leather clean by wiping off mud and debris with a damp cloth after outdoor use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the leather or damage the Gore-Tex membrane. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can cause the leather to crack or shrink. Use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness.
