FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a high-performance Gore-Tex membrane that is specifically designed to be both waterproof and breathable.
Can I wear these for long hikes?
They are designed for urban exploration and light to moderate trails, offering good support and traction for these activities.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have a small amount of wiggle room for your toes, and your heel should remain secure in the heel cup without significant slipping.
Is the leather real?
Yes, these boots are constructed from premium, high-quality leather.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather structure. Use a damp cloth to clean them manually.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff out of the box
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short walks over several days to allow the material to flex to your foot shape.
Water entering from the top during heavy rain
The Gore-Tex membrane protects the foot area, but water can enter from the top. Ensure your trousers are worn over the cuff to prevent water from running down into the boot.
Reduced grip on smooth indoor surfaces
The deep lugs are optimized for outdoor terrain. If grip feels slippery on wet tile or linoleum, wipe the soles clean of debris to maximize contact area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors or on short walks before taking them on longer excursions to soften the leather.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush after use. For mud, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Conditioning: Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for waterproof footwear to prevent the leather from cracking over time.
- Drying: Always air dry your boots naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and cause leather to become brittle.
- Compatibility: These are standard-sized boots; if you plan on using heavy-weight winter socks, consider if you prefer a snug fit or extra room in the toe box.
