FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
The Palladium SP20 Travel Hi boots are suitable for light trails and general walking. For technical or strenuous hiking, footwear with more robust support and waterproofing would be recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. These boots are unisex, so consider the standard adult foot measurements for the best fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, do not machine wash the boots. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the recommended method.
What is the main advantage of the 'Travel Lite' concept?
The 'Travel Lite' concept emphasizes extremely low weight and packability, making the boots easy to carry and comfortable for extended wear during travel.
Are these boots warm enough for cold weather?
These boots are designed for versatility and moderate temperatures. They are not insulated for extreme cold weather.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily constructed from lightweight nylon, contributing to the boot's packability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially.
New footwear can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in gradually. The lightweight upper is designed to become more flexible with wear.
Water ingress during wet conditions.
While designed for versatility, these boots are not waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for nylon materials, and be aware of their limitations in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The SP20 outsole provides good traction for general use. If you experience slipping on highly polished or wet surfaces, ensure the soles are clean, as debris can affect grip. For challenging terrains, alternative footwear might be more appropriate.
