FAQs
What is the best way to clean Palladium Pampa Hi NBK boots?
Use a specialized nubuck eraser for dry dirt and marks. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Always finish with a nubuck-specific protector spray.
Are these boots suitable for heavy rain?
The nubuck leather offers some protection, but these boots are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for moderate weather. For heavy rain, consider using a robust waterproofing spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How long does it take for the boots to break in?
Break-in time varies per individual. Most users find them comfortable after a few wears. Wearing them for short periods initially can help speed up the process.
Can I wear these boots with thick socks?
Yes, the boots are designed to accommodate standard to moderately thick socks. If you plan to wear very thick socks, consider sizing up half a size for extra room.
What is the main difference between Pampa Hi NBK and other Pampa models?
The 'NBK' typically denotes a nubuck leather upper, offering a premium feel and a slightly different aesthetic compared to canvas or other leather finishes found in different Pampa models.
Are these boots good for hiking?
They are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails due to their grip and ankle support. For strenuous or technical hiking, boots with more specialized features might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff initially
This is common with new nubuck leather. Wear them for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. You can also use a leather conditioner designed for nubuck to help soften the material.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are tying a secure knot. If the laces are particularly smooth, consider replacing them with textured laces that offer more grip, or double-knotting them.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While designed for grip, very smooth or wet surfaces can reduce traction. Ensure the soles are clean of debris. For persistent issues on specific surfaces, consider consulting a cobbler for sole treatments.
Water marks appearing on the leather
Nubuck is not fully waterproof. Treat the boots with a suitable waterproofing spray for nubuck leather. If marks appear, allow the boots to air dry naturally, then use a nubuck eraser to gently remove the marks.

Care:
To maintain the nubuck leather and prolong the life of your boots:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized nubuck eraser or a dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by air drying away from direct heat.

- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
