FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather is treated, but the boots are not fully waterproof. They offer resistance to light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water may lead to saturation. Consider using a waterproofing spray for added protection.
How do I clean mud off the boots?
Allow mud to dry first, then brush off excess dirt with a dry brush. Use a slightly damp cloth for remaining marks and let the boots air dry naturally. Avoid harsh detergents.
What is the best way to store these boots?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees is recommended to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently if the boots are exposed to harsh conditions or if the leather feels dry.
Can I wear these boots in the summer?
While possible, the leather construction might make them warmer than other materials. They are generally best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter days.
What does 'gold-rated tannery' mean?
It indicates that the leather has been produced in a facility that meets high environmental standards for resource use and chemical management, as audited by an independent body.
Is the sizing true to size?
Palladium boots generally run true to size, but individual fit can vary. It's recommended to check size guides and, if possible, try them on before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. Ensure the boots are clean before conditioning. Regular conditioning is key to prevention.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. For persistent slipperiness on very smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper or consulting a cobbler for alternative sole treatments.
Boots develop an odor
Remove the insoles (if possible) and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the boots overnight to absorb odors, then tap out any excess. Ensure boots are completely dry before wearing.
