FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are designed for urban exploration and casual wear. While the rubber outsole provides good grip for light trails, they are not specialized hiking boots and may lack the support and waterproofing for serious trekking.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the Palladium size chart on the product page or official Palladium website. It's recommended to measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. For this specific model, the UK 4.5 is listed.
Can the collar be worn up and down?
Yes, the signature feature of the Baggy Michigan is its foldable collar, which can be worn up for more coverage or folded down to reveal the corduroy detail and create a different look.
What is the main difference between the 'Baggy Michigan' and other Palladium models?
The 'Baggy Michigan' line often features organic canvas uppers, unique collar details like corduroy, and the signature foldable collar design, blending Palladium's utilitarian heritage with contemporary style elements.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots are constructed from organic cotton canvas, which is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture, but are not designed for heavy rain or water immersion.
How should I store the boots when not in use?
Store the boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It's advisable to keep them clean and dry before storage. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable.
This is common with new canvas boots. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Wearing thicker socks can also help during the break-in period.
Canvas shows signs of wear or scuffing.
Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more significant marks, consider using a specialized canvas cleaner.
The foldable collar does not stay in place.
Ensure the collar is folded evenly. The laces can also be used to help secure the collar in the desired position once folded.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions may still require caution.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Canvas: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the organic canvas upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Maintaining the Collar: The corduroy collar can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid excessive soaking.
- Outsole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove mud or debris. Ensure it is dry before storing.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or open fires, as this can damage the materials.
