FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?

How should I clean the leather?

Do I need to treat the leather before first use?
It is not strictly necessary, but applying a leather protector spray can provide an extra layer of defense against stains and moisture.
Are the insoles removable?

Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors before taking them on long outdoor treks.
Reduced water repellency over time
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the leather surface may need reapplication using a leather-safe waterproof spray.
Accumulated debris in the lugged sole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove pebbles or dried mud from the grooves of the outsole to maintain maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium boots, begin by ensuring the correct size; the 4.5 UK sizing fits standard adult feet, but consider wearing medium-weight socks for the best fit.
Care Instructions:
- After exposure to mud or dirt, wipe the boots down with a damp cloth.
- Apply a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Avoid using direct high-heat sources to dry the boots, as this can damage the leather and the Gore-Tex membrane; air dry at room temperature instead.
- Ensure laces are tied securely to engage the support features of the sportcuff.
