FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter conditions?
The Pallarider Lo GTX offers excellent water protection for rain and slush, but they are not insulated, so they should be paired with thermal socks for freezing temperatures.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can compromise the integrity of the leather and the GORE-TEX membrane. Always clean by hand with a soft brush and water.
Does the leather require special treatment?
Yes, using a high-quality leather conditioner or wax specifically designed for outdoor footwear will help keep the leather supple and maintain its water-repellent qualities.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
The Vibram outsole is designed for high traction across many surfaces, making it significantly more slip-resistant than standard rubber sneakers.
How do I choose the right size?
The Pallarider Lo GTX follows standard UK sizing; if you plan on wearing thick hiking socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your fit.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tied snugly to prevent water from running down into the collar, and check that the leather upper is regularly treated with a leather-safe waterproof spray.
Stiffness or discomfort on the first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors or on light walks to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Pallarider Lo GTX, keep the leather clean by wiping away mud with a damp cloth after outdoor excursions. For the best waterproof performance, avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the GORE-TEX layer. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. For sizing, ensure you verify your UK shoe size against the specific fit of the Palladium range to ensure a secure lockdown.
