FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Palladium Pampa Oxford is designed for casual wear and urban exploration, not for athletic activities like running. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is a little room at the toe, but your heel should feel secure and not slip significantly when walking.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Pampa Oxford. The washed canvas upper and internal components may be damaged. Hand-cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the Pampa Oxford made of?
The shoe features a washed canvas upper and lining, with an EVA-cushioned footbed and a molded rubber outsole.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas material is not inherently waterproof. They are designed for dry to mildly damp conditions, but not for heavy rain or wet environments.
What does 'EVA-cushioned footbed' mean for comfort?
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a foam-like material known for its shock-absorbing properties. It provides a soft, cushioned feel underfoot, reducing impact with each step.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods to break them in. The washed canvas will soften with use.
Slight color variation on canvas
This is a characteristic of the washed canvas finish, adding to the shoe's unique aesthetic. It is not a defect.
Discomfort on the heel
Ensure the heel cup is properly cradling your foot. If discomfort persists, consider using thinner socks or checking if the size is correct.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, all rubber can become less effective on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
