Full details

Their key benefit is the combination of rugged construction with modern aesthetics, offering versatility for both city life and outdoor activities.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
The Baggy Michigan Trainers are designed for city streets and light outdoor adventures. While the rubber outsole provides good grip, they are not specialized hiking boots and may lack the support and waterproofing needed for challenging trails.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Palladium or consult the specific size guide associated with this product. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately for the best fit. The product lists UK sizes.
Can the foldable collar be worn up permanently?
Yes, the collar can be worn up. It is designed with flexibility, allowing you to choose between wearing it folded down or up for different looks and levels of ankle support.
Are the materials used genuinely vegan?
Yes, the product description states that the trainers are vegan. This means no animal products or by-products were used in their construction.
What is the primary inspiration for the Baggy Michigan series?
The series is inspired by Palladium's military roots and Detroit's work heritage, combining sturdy durability with modern style.
How does the Strobel construction affect comfort?
Strobel construction involves stitching the upper directly to the lasting board, which typically results in a lighter, more flexible shoe that offers enhanced comfort and a better feel for the ground.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height, including the outsole, is 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel insecure or loosen quickly.
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Re-lace the trainers if the eyelets feel worn or if the lace material is excessively smooth.
Canvas material feels stiff.
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the organic cotton canvas to break in. Flexing the shoes manually can also help soften the material.
Dirt accumulation on the rubber sole.
Use a stiff brush with warm water and mild soap to scrub the rubber sole. Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off and allow to dry completely.
Collar does not stay folded as desired.
Ensure the laces are tied securely around the collar area if you choose to fold it down. The material may relax and hold folds better after several wears.
