FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather construction provides natural water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-specific waterproofing treatment for better protection.
How do I determine my size?
Palladium sizes follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider the type of socks you intend to wear; thicker wool socks may require a half-size up.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for orthopedic inserts if you require additional arch support.
Are they suitable for snowy conditions?
While the Vibram sole provides good traction, these are not insulated winter boots and should not be used in heavy snow or extreme sub-zero temperatures.
What is the best way to clean the elastic side panels?
Spot clean the elastic panels with a soft brush and a tiny amount of mild soapy water, being careful not to soak the leather around them.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a brief 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your feet.
Surface scuffs appearing on leather
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform appearance of the brown finish.
Loss of grip on muddy terrain
Ensure the treads on the Vibram outsole are clear of mud and debris by scrubbing them with a stiff brush; clogged treads reduce the effectiveness of the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each use.
- Leather Care: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a waterproof spray designed for leather to enhance performance in wet weather.
- Drying: Never place leather boots near a direct heat source, such as a radiator or fireplace, as this can dry out and damage the hide. Allow them to air dry at room temperature.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using boot trees to help maintain the structure of the leather.
