FAQs
Are the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots waterproof?
The boots are water-resistant due to the rubber outsole and toecap, but the organic canvas upper is not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain but not for prolonged exposure to heavy water.
How do I choose the right size?
These boots are generally true to size. Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and consider your typical UK shoe size. If between sizes, the lace closure allows for some adjustability.
Can I remove the insole?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable. This is due to the Strobel construction method used in manufacturing.
What does 'Baggy Michigan' refer to?
The 'Baggy' aspect refers to the customizable, foldable collar design. 'Michigan' likely refers to the inspiration behind the rugged, durable aesthetic, possibly referencing workwear or outdoor heritage.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
The lace-up design allows for some adjustability to accommodate different foot widths. However, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug initially.
How do I clean the corduroy collar lining?
The corduroy lining can be cleaned gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially.
This is common with new canvas boots. Wear them for short periods initially, and they will naturally soften and mold to your feet with use.
Discoloration on canvas.
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive water saturation. For stubborn stains, consult specialized canvas shoe cleaners.
Laces fraying.
Replace the laces with standard round nylon laces of a similar length for a secure fit.
Soles losing grip.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean from mud or debris. For significant wear, replacement by a professional cobbler may be necessary.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Canvas: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the organic cotton.
- Water Protection: While the rubber elements offer some protection, the canvas is not fully waterproof. Consider using a fabric protector spray designed for canvas shoes to enhance water resistance, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining Care: The cotton lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain color and material integrity.
