Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Pallarider Lo GTX is a versatile, technical trainer designed for urban explorers and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize durability and weather protection. Featuring a waterproof Gore-Tex leather construction and a high-performance Vibram outsole, these shoes are ideal for navigating unpredictable terrain and wet weather conditions. While they offer excellent grip and protection, the robust leather upper may require a short break-in period compared to lighter, fabric-based alternatives.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
They are designed for light-to-moderate terrain and urban exploration; they offer great grip but lack the high-ankle support of dedicated mountain boots.
Can I use these in the snow?
The Gore-Tex lining is waterproof, making them suitable for slushy conditions, though they are not insulated for sub-zero temperatures.
How do I know if the Gore-Tex is still working?
If water beads on the surface of the leather, the waterproof qualities are intact. If it begins to soak in, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
Are these shoes true to size?
Palladium trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, since they use a leather upper, some users prefer a slightly roomier fit to accommodate thicker socks.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be seeping in during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened adequately and that the tongue is centered; check the surface of the leather for deep scratches or damage that might compromise the waterproof layer.
Initial stiffness or discomfort around the ankle
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with thick socks to soften the leather, or use a leather conditioner specifically safe for Gore-Tex treated footwear.
Reduced grip on smooth surfaces
Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly with a brush and warm water to remove embedded debris or grease, which can temporarily impact traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature high-quality leather, proper care is essential to maintain the Gore-Tex membrane's functionality. For daily maintenance, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth. If the leather becomes saturated, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the material to crack. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a secure fit, as the structured leather upper benefits from being laced properly to prevent heel slippage during long walks. These are unisex models; please ensure you verify your UK adult size conversion to match the specific fit of the Palladium sizing standard.
