Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Pallarider Lo GTX is designed for urban explorers and outdoor enthusiasts who require a versatile trainer that transitions seamlessly from city streets to uneven terrain. Featuring premium leather construction and integrated Gore-Tex waterproof technology, these shoes provide exceptional protection against the elements while maintaining a comfortable, low-profile fit. Note that because of the specialized waterproof membrane and rugged Vibram outsole, the shoes may feel slightly stiffer than standard casual sneakers during the initial break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
Yes, the integration of Gore-Tex technology ensures that the shoes are waterproof, provided the water level does not exceed the tongue opening.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
While the Vibram sole provides great traction, these are low-profile trainers designed for light terrain and urban use, not heavy mountaineering.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the waterproof treatment.
Are these true to size?
Generally, yes. However, if you plan to wear thick wool socks, some users prefer to size up by half a size for extra comfort.
Do I need to treat the leather with a spray?
While the Gore-Tex membrane is internal, applying a light, leather-safe water repellent spray can help maintain the appearance of the outer leather.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe
Check the exterior leather for deep scratches or debris. If the membrane is intact, ensure your socks are not wicking moisture into the shoe from the top opening.
Stiff feel during initial wear
Leather shoes require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors or on short walks to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Loss of traction
Clean the Vibram outsole thoroughly with warm water and a brush to remove trapped dirt, stones, or mud that may be blocking the tread.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproof protection with Gore-Tex
- Excellent grip on varied terrain thanks to Vibram outsoles
- Durable leather construction suitable for long-term use
- Versatile design appropriate for both city and trail
Cons
- Leather material may require a break-in period for optimal comfort
- Limited to a low-cut design which offers less ankle support than high-top variants
- Requires specific care to maintain the integrity of the Gore-Tex membrane
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium trainers remain in top condition, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized waterproof Gore-Tex barrier and the leather. After wet excursions, remove excess mud with a soft brush and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because the leather is a natural material, consider using a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Always store in a cool, dry place when not in use, and ensure laces are loosened completely when putting the shoes on to preserve the shape of the heel collar.
