FAQs
Are these boots suitable for hiking?
While the boots are durable and offer good traction, their unwashed canvas upper is not waterproof and they are primarily designed for urban and casual wear. For extensive hiking, especially in wet conditions, dedicated hiking boots would be more appropriate.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart, typically available on the product page or brand website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the provided guide. It's often recommended to try them on if possible, as boot fit can vary.
Can I wash these boots in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the unwashed canvas, affect the adhesives, and alter the boot's shape. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
How often should I apply waterproofing spray?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It's generally advisable to reapply the spray every few months or after cleaning the boots to maintain water resistance.
What is the main difference between the Mono Chrome series and other Palladium boots?
The Mono Chrome series emphasizes a minimalist, single-color design from top to bottom, offering a sleeker aesthetic. Other Palladium series might feature contrasting colors, different materials, or more extensive detailing.
Do these boots offer good arch support?
The standard insole provides basic comfort. For individuals requiring significant arch support, it is recommended to use aftermarket insoles or orthotics, which can typically be inserted into the boot.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with unwashed canvas. Wear the boots for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Canvas shows a noticeable stain
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a very small amount of mild soap. Avoid excessive rubbing. Allow to air dry completely.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they continue to come undone, consider replacing them with a different type of lace material that offers better grip, or learn a secure lacing knot.
Water ingress through the canvas
The canvas is not fully waterproof. For increased water resistance, apply a suitable fabric protector spray designed for canvas footwear. Reapply as needed, especially after cleaning.

Care:
- Cleaning the Canvas: For the unwashed canvas upper, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the canvas and the boot's structure.
- Protecting the Canvas: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically.
- Outsole and Toecap: Clean the rubber outsole and toecap with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
