FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The wax finish provides a degree of water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof, especially in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Do these boots run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider if you prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I put these boots in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will damage the wax finish and potentially ruin the construction of the boot.
Are these suitable for hiking?
They are ideal for light trails and walking, but they are not technical mountain-climbing or heavy-duty hiking boots.
What is the benefit of the TPR outsole?
The Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) outsole offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, providing excellent durability and grip without adding unnecessary bulk to the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
The wax-finish material requires a short break-in period; wear them for shorter intervals initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Scuff marks appearing on the upper
Scuffs are a natural part of the wax finish aging process and add to the intended rugged, worn look of the Pampa Sp20.
Loss of water resistance
Over time, the wax coating may wear off. You can maintain the finish by applying a compatible fabric-waxing product specifically designed for treated canvas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots last, proper maintenance of the wax finish is essential. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near high heat sources, as this can degrade the wax coating. If the boots become dirty, brush off loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or machine washing, as these will strip the protective wax finish. If the boots lose their water-resistant performance over time, consult a professional leather or canvas care specialist for a suitable wax-reapplication product. Ensure you size your pair correctly based on UK sizing standards to maximize comfort during the initial break-in period.
