Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
These boots are made of leather and offer some water resistance, especially when treated with a waterproofing spray. However, they are not fully waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Palladium. These boots are listed in UK sizing. The current product information specifies UK size 6.5.
Can I wear these boots in hot weather?
Leather boots can be warm in very hot weather. While the design is breathable, they are generally more comfortable in mild to cool temperatures.
What is the main advantage of the Pampa Hi Zip model?
The primary advantage is the addition of a medial zip closure, which makes putting on and taking off the boots significantly easier compared to traditional lace-up models.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is recommended to condition the leather every 3-6 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to dry conditions or heavy use.
Do these boots come in other colors?
Yes, Palladium offers the Pampa Hi Zip in various colors. This guide specifically details the black variant. Other colors like brown are available in sibling products.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these boots?
Mid-weight socks made of wool or synthetic blends are generally recommended for comfort and moisture-wicking. Cotton socks can hold moisture and may lead to discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the boots for short periods around the house to gradually break them in. Wearing them with appropriate socks can also help.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a good quality leather conditioner immediately. Ensure consistent conditioning as per care instructions.
Zip is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, consider a light scuffing of the sole on a rough surface or consult a cobbler for alternative sole treatments.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner regularly (every 3-6 months, depending on use) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Use a conditioner appropriate for smooth leather.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather to add an extra layer of protection against moisture and stains, especially before exposing them to wet conditions.
- Storage: Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with shoe trees or paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
