FAQs
Are the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots suitable for hiking?
While the boots offer good grip and durability for urban environments and light trails, they are not specifically designed for technical hiking. For rugged, long-distance hiking, consider boots with specialized support and waterproofing.
Can I remove the insole?
No, the insole is not designed to be removed.
How do I care for the organic cotton canvas?
Clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow to air dry completely.
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are not waterproof. They are made from cotton canvas and are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean for the boots?
Strobel construction means the upper of the shoe is stitched to a fabric lasting board, creating a flexible and durable bond between the upper and the sole unit.
Can the baggy collar be worn up or down?
Yes, the defining feature of the Baggy Michigan is its foldable collar, which can be worn up for a more traditional boot look or folded down for a relaxed, casual style.
Are these boots suitable for winter?
These boots are not insulated and are not waterproof, making them less ideal for heavy winter conditions with snow and ice. They are better suited for cooler, dry weather.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces. For a tighter fit, use all eyelets and the snap loop. For a looser feel, reduce tension on the laces, especially in the upper section.
Canvas material shows dirt easily
Spot clean regularly with a damp cloth. For more significant marks, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution and rinse carefully with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. If persistent slippage occurs on very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution. The sole is designed for general grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit using the round eyelets and the snap loop on the top eyelet for extra security.
Compatibility: The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual wear for both men and women. They pair well with jeans, cargo pants, and shorts.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the canvas and rubber elements. For tougher stains on the canvas, a mild detergent can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots.
- Drying: Air dry the boots away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture during drying.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel dirt and water, though these boots are not waterproof.
- Collar Care: If the collar is folded down, ensure it is clean before folding to prevent trapping dirt.
