FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Gore-Tex membrane designed to keep water out while allowing internal moisture to escape.
Can I use these for intense trail running?
While the Vibram sole provides great grip, these are designed more for urban versatility and light trekking rather than high-performance trail running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Palladium shoes generally follow standard UK sizing. Ensure you leave a small amount of room for movement, especially if wearing thicker socks.
Can I machine wash the Pallarider Lo GTX?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the Gore-Tex membrane. Use a damp cloth instead.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature removable insoles, allowing you to use custom orthotics if needed.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing feels less effective
Ensure the leather is clean and treated with a compatible waterproofing leather conditioner to maintain the external barrier.
Stiffness during early wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors or on flat, paved surfaces to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the shoe features premium leather, proper maintenance is essential to ensure both the water-repellency and the life of the material. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may strip the leather's protective finish. Ensure the laces are securely fastened to maintain proper ankle support. If the interior becomes damp from heavy usage, air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
