FAQs
What makes the outsole unique?
The outsole features distinct sections with different rubber textures. Each texture is engineered to provide optimal grip and durability on specific urban terrains like wet pavement, gravel, or smooth concrete.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While durable and offering good grip for urban environments, they are designed primarily for city exploration rather than technical hiking. For rugged trails, specialized hiking boots are recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and compare it with your UK foot measurement. These are unisex shoes, so ensure you select the appropriate size based on standard unisex or men's/women's sizing conventions.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand-clean using the methods described in the Care section.
What is the 'Ace City Shell Lo' designation?
'Ace City Shell' refers to the series, emphasizing its urban resilience and style. 'Lo' denotes the low-top cut of the shoe.
How should I store the shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and prevent the outsole's textures from getting damaged.
Troubleshooting
Traction seems inconsistent on certain surfaces.
The varied outsole textures are designed for specific grip properties. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris that could fill the grooves. Allow a brief adjustment period for your gait to adapt to the unique sole design.
Shoes feel stiff initially.
This is common with durable, high-performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in gradually. The materials will soften and conform to your feet over time.
Minor scuffs or marks on the ripstop upper.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Water resistance is not as expected.
While the ripstop upper offers some protection, these are not fully waterproof boots. For heavy rain, consider using a water-repellent spray suitable for textile footwear, reapplying as needed.
