FAQs
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
The Palladium Baggy Michigan boots are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. The organic cotton canvas is not waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow may lead to dampness. Regular care and potential water-repellent treatment can enhance their performance in adverse weather.
How do I adjust the style of the collar?
The collar can be worn up for a classic boot look or folded down. To fold it down, unfasten the snap loop on the top eyelet, fold the collar over, and secure it using the internal buttons. You can also fold it down partially for a more relaxed look.
What does 'Strobel construction' mean for comfort?
Strobel construction involves stitching the upper directly to a fabric bottom (the strobel). This method typically results in a more flexible and lightweight shoe, enhancing overall comfort and allowing for a natural foot movement.
Are the insoles removable?
No, the insoles are not designed to be removed in the Palladium Baggy Michigan boots.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Palladium and measure your foot length from heel to toe. These boots are listed with UK adult foot sizes. Comparing your measurement to the chart will help you select the appropriate size.
Can these boots be worn year-round?
They are most comfortable during spring, summer, and autumn. In winter, they offer warmth for milder days but may not provide sufficient insulation or waterproofing for heavy snow or freezing temperatures.
What is the main inspiration behind the 'Michigan' series?
The Michigan series is inspired by Palladium's military roots and Detroit's industrial work heritage, aiming to combine sturdy durability with modern, stylish design.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty quickly.
Spot clean laces with mild soap and water, or remove and hand wash them. Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for footwear.
Canvas material feeling stiff initially.
Wear the boots for short periods indoors to break them in. The organic cotton will soften with regular use.
Reduced grip on very wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole offers good grip, extreme wetness can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. For significantly slick conditions, consider specialized footwear.
Collar not staying folded.
Ensure the collar buttons are securely fastened when folded down. The material may require a few wears to maintain the folded position more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These boots come ready to wear. Ensure laces are tied to your preferred tightness using the lace-up closure for a secure fit. The foldable collar can be worn up or folded down by unfastening the top snap loop and collar buttons.
Compatibility: Designed for adult unisex wear. Available in various UK sizes. The neutral beige color family makes them compatible with a wide range of casual and semi-casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning the Canvas: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Sole and Rubber Parts: Clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt on the outsole, a firmer brush can be used.
- Laces: Remove and hand wash with soap and water if they become heavily soiled. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
