Palladium Pallarise NBK WL Boots - Black - Gold - UK 6

The Pallarise NBK WL boots are made from suede and nubuck leather, which are not inherently waterproof. While a protective spray can offer water resistance, they are best suited for dry or moderately wet conditions and not for heavy rain or snow.

The synthetic wool lining is primarily for warmth and insulation. Spot clean any minor marks with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.

These boots are designed for urban and casual wear. While they offer comfort and style, they lack the rugged construction and support needed for serious hiking trails.

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used in these boots comes from tanneries that adhere to strict environmental standards, covering aspects like water and energy consumption, waste management, and emissions.

The laces allow you to adjust the fit and tightness around your foot and ankle for personalized comfort and support, while the discreet medial zipper provides a quick and easy way to put the boots on and take them off without re-lacing.

Given the construction and potential for socks, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to consider trying the larger size, especially if you prefer a bit more room or plan to wear thicker socks. However, fit can be subjective, so trying them on is ideal.

Loosen the laces. If the issue persists, consider wearing thinner socks or consult a cobbler for stretching options.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions meticulously. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.

Consider wearing thicker, wool-blend socks. Ensure the boots are not too tight, as this can restrict circulation and reduce warmth.
