FAQs
What material is the Palladium Pampa Oxford made from?
The upper and lining are made from faded cotton canvas. The outsole is a one-piece moulded rubber with sponge EVA reinforcements.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking or rough terrain?
These trainers are designed for urban exploration and everyday wear. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, they are not intended for rugged hiking or challenging outdoor conditions.
How should I clean the washed canvas upper?
Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Mild soap solution can be used sparingly for stains, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry.
What does 'EVA-cushioned footbed' mean for comfort?
EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a foam-like material known for its cushioning properties. It helps absorb impact and provides a comfortable, supportive base for your foot.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide for Palladium footwear. The Pampa Oxford trainers are designed to provide a comfortable fit with adequate room for movement. If unsure, consider trying them on or checking reviews for fit feedback.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The washed canvas and moulded sole components may be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat. Spot cleaning and hand washing are the preferred methods.
What is the purpose of the 'hugging heel cup'?
The hugging heel cup is designed to contour to the shape of your heel, providing a secure and supportive fit. This helps prevent heel slippage and enhances overall stability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
The washed canvas material may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not tied too tightly.
Canvas material appears faded or discolored.
This is characteristic of the 'washed canvas' finish. If excessive fading or uneven discoloration occurs, gently clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Traction on wet surfaces feels reduced.
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces can be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significant wet conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Inspect the laces regularly. If fraying occurs, they can be replaced with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material.

Care Instructions:

- Cleaning the Lining: The cotton canvas lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole Care: Wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the sole is dry before storage.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper or a clean cloth to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
