FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are primarily designed for casual wear and urban exploration. While the rubber outsole offers some protection and grip, the organic cotton canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain or snow, waterproof footwear is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart, which usually provides measurements in UK, EU, and US sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Since these are unisex, consider your typical shoe fit.
Can I machine wash these boots?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these boots. Machine washing can damage the materials, construction, and adhesive used in the boots. Spot cleaning and hand washing with mild soap are the preferred methods for care.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification means that every component of the product has been tested for harmful substances and that the product is harmless for human health. It ensures a high level of product safety.
Is the foldable collar a functional feature or just aesthetic?
The foldable collar is both functional and aesthetic. It allows you to adjust the height and look of the boot, offering additional ankle warmth when folded up, or a more casual, relaxed style when folded down.
Are these boots considered vegan?
Yes, the product description states that the boots are vegan, indicating that no animal products or by-products were used in their construction.
How should I store these boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It's best to keep them in their original box or a breathable bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. For a tighter fit, pull the laces more firmly and tie securely. For a looser fit, slacken the laces. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider checking the size guide and potentially exchanging for a different size.
Canvas material appears dirty or stained.
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, then rinse by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Rubber sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free of debris, mud, or oil, which can reduce traction. If the issue persists, the natural wear and tear of the sole may be a factor.
The foldable collar is difficult to adjust.
Gently fold the collar down, ensuring the inside lining is neatly tucked. The material may become more pliable with repeated adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are designed for unisex adult wear. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, trousers, shorts, and even some dresses or skirts, offering versatility in styling.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the organic cotton canvas, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the canvas.
- Lining and Insole: The cotton lining and polyester insole can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure the inside is dry before wearing to prevent discomfort.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove debris and maintain grip.
- Drying: Always allow the boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
