FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are suitable for light hiking and walking on varied terrain due to their durable rubber outsole and protective toecap. However, they are primarily designed for urban environments and may not offer the specialized support or waterproofing needed for intense or long-distance hiking.
How do I care for the organic cotton canvas upper?
To care for the organic cotton canvas, gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and allow the boots to air dry. Avoid soaking the canvas.
Can I wear the collar up and down?
Yes, a key feature of the Baggy Michigan boots is the foldable baggy collar, which can be worn either folded down for a casual look or pulled up for extra warmth and a different style.
Are these boots waterproof?
The boots have a rubber toecap and outsole that offer some protection, but the organic cotton canvas upper is not inherently waterproof. For increased water resistance, you can apply a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean for the boots?
Strobel construction refers to a method where the upper is stitched to a fabric underside, which is then cemented to the outsole. This typically results in a more flexible and durable shoe.
Are these boots suitable for women and men?
Yes, the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for adults of any gender.
What is the heel height?
The heel height, including the outsole, is approximately 25mm.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with new round nylon laces. Ensure laces are not overtightened to prevent unnecessary stress.
Discomfort after initial wear
The boots may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit.
Canvas upper looks dull or stained
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely. For stubborn stains, consult specific canvas cleaning guides, but avoid harsh chemicals.
Slight rubbing at the ankle
Ensure socks are worn. If the issue persists, try adjusting the lacing around the ankle area or consider wearing the collar folded down.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid excessive water saturation.
- Lining and Insole: The 100% cotton lining can be spot cleaned. The polyester insole should not be removed for washing as it is not designed for easy removal.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove mud or debris.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is recommended to use a shoe tree to maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing: While the rubber elements offer some protection, the canvas upper is not fully waterproof. Consider a suitable fabric protector spray for enhanced water resistance, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
