FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for deep snow?
The Pallarider Thins WP+ are designed for cold-weather exploration and light snow, but they are low-top shoes and not intended for deep snow drifts.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the internal waterproof membrane. Always hand clean with a soft brush.
Do these fit true to size?
Palladium shoes generally follow standard sizing. If you plan to wear very thick wool socks, you may consider a half-size up.
What is the benefit of the Pallaguard mudguard?
The mudguard acts as a buffer between the shoe and the elements, preventing scuffs, abrasions, and moisture buildup on the lower leather sections.
Is the leather upper breathable?
While leather has natural breathability, the inclusion of the waterproof membrane and insulation prioritizes warmth and dryness over extreme airflow.
Troubleshooting
Reduced waterproof performance over time
The outer leather may have lost its protective coating. Apply a professional-grade leather water-repellent spray.
Stiff fit during first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods with thick socks to help the material conform to your foot shape.
Dirt buildup in outsole treads
Use a stiff-bristle brush or a high-pressure water spray to clear debris from the VIBRAM lugs to maintain optimal traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium footwear, follow these maintenance steps:
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For the leather upper, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or blow dryers, as this can crack the leather or damage the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing: While the shoes feature a WP+ membrane, applying a leather-safe water repellent spray every few months can maintain the outer material's hydrophobic properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
