FAQs
Are the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots truly waterproof?
The boots are made from cotton canvas and rubber, offering some resistance to light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may require a waterproofing spray for significant exposure to rain or wet conditions.
How do I adjust the foldable collar?
The collar can be worn fully up for extended ankle support and protection, or folded down. To fold, simply unfasten the snap loop at the top eyelet and fold the canvas collar inwards.
What does 'BCI cotton' mean?
BCI stands for 'Better Cotton Initiative'. It means the cotton is sourced from farms that adhere to standards promoting better agricultural practices, focusing on environmental sustainability and farmer livelihoods.
Can I remove the insole for orthotics?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable. The boots utilize a Strobel construction, and the insole is integrated into the shoe's structure.
What is the heel height?
The heel height, including the outsole, is approximately 25mm.
Are these boots suitable for winter?
While they offer durability, the cotton canvas is not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for mild to cool weather. For very cold or snowy conditions, warmer, insulated footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the reverse corduroy collar?
The corduroy collar can be cleaned similarly to the canvas upper. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight
Loosen the laces and ensure they are evenly distributed. If still tight after several wears, consider using thicker socks or seeking a half-size larger.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a new pair of round nylon laces of similar length. Ensure eyelets are smooth to prevent premature wear.
Canvas material staining easily
Apply a fabric-safe waterproofing spray to the canvas to create a protective barrier. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth.
Soles losing grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If wear is significant, consider if the boots have reached the end of their useful life.
