FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
No, the Palladium Pampa Hi Zip Organic boots are not waterproof. They are designed for dry to mildly damp conditions. The organic canvas upper will absorb water if exposed to significant moisture.
How do I ensure the longevity of the organic canvas material?
Regularly brush off dirt, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap for stains, and always allow the boots to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
Yes, the organic cotton canvas lining and textile upper offer good breathability, making them suitable for warmer weather wear.
What is the heel height?
The heel height for the Palladium Pampa Hi Zip Organic is 25mm.
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
They are suitable for light trails and casual walking due to their comfortable insole and decent outsole grip. However, they are not designed for technical hiking or rough terrain, especially in wet conditions.
How do I clean the cork sole?
The cork sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Ensure it dries naturally.
What does 'vegan' mean in relation to these boots?
It means that no animal products or by-products were used in the construction of the boot, including the materials, dyes, and adhesives.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Slight color transfer from the canvas
This can occur with new organic textiles. Wear with darker socks initially. If significant, a light wipe with a damp cloth may help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Foot odor after wear
Remove the insoles and allow both the insoles and the boots to air out completely. Sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors, then shake out.
Water absorption in wet conditions
While not waterproof, for light moisture, allow boots to air dry thoroughly. For moderate dampness, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas and organic textiles, testing first on a small area.
