FAQs

Are these boots suitable for heavy rain?

The Baggy Michigan boots are primarily made of organic canvas and cotton, which offer some water resistance but are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray or opting for waterproof footwear.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The boots generally run true to size. It is recommended to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Consult the Palladium sizing chart for specific measurements if unsure.

Can the insole be replaced?

The insoles are not designed to be removable. However, if you need custom orthotics, they may fit over the existing insole, though this could slightly alter the fit.

What does 'Strobel construction' mean?

Strobel construction is a method where the upper of the shoe is stitched to a fabric (Strobel) layer that runs under the insole. This results in a flexible and durable shoe.

How do I clean the corduroy collar?

The corduroy collar can be cleaned gently with a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent and dab gently. Avoid excessive scrubbing.

What is the heel height?

The heel height, including the outsole, is 25mm.

Are these boots good for hiking?

These boots are suitable for light trails and casual outdoor activities due to their durable construction and grip. For strenuous or technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel stiff on first wear.

Canvas boots often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Walking indoors can help them mold to your feet.

Laces fraying or breaking.

Replace the laces with standard round nylon laces of similar length. This is a common wear-and-tear item that can be easily replaced.

Discoloration on canvas.

For minor marks, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more stubborn stains, refer to the care instructions for appropriate cleaning methods.

Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides good grip, extremely wet or polished surfaces can be challenging. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. Consider using a specialized outdoor footwear cleaner for enhanced grip if this is a recurring issue.

Care:
