FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
The Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa is primarily designed for urban exploration and features a Vibram® outsole for good grip. While they can handle light trails, they are not specialized hiking boots and may lack the ankle support and cushioning required for extensive or rugged hiking.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Palladium and measure your foot length. Consider the low-cut design and quick-lace system which allow for some adjustability, but the base size should be accurate for comfort.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does 'WPA' stand for?
WPA stands for Waterproof Advanced, indicating the shoe's enhanced protection against water penetration while maintaining breathability.
How durable is the Vibram® outsole?
Vibram® outsoles are renowned for their high durability and excellent wear resistance, providing long-lasting traction and performance.
Is the insock cushioned?
The shoe includes a removable polyester insock. While it provides a base level of comfort, it is designed to be removable, allowing users to insert their own preferred cushioned or supportive insoles.
What is the return policy if the shoes don't fit?
Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information on exchanges or returns based on fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose after adjusting the toggle.
Experiment with the lace tension before fully tightening the toggle. Ensure the laces are distributed evenly across the eyelets. If persistent, consider the removable insock for minor fit adjustments.
Water seeping into the shoes despite WPA membrane.
Check for any visible damage to the shoe's exterior or seams. Ensure the tongue is properly positioned to create a seal. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray if the outer material seems compromised.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt.
Use a slightly stiffer brush (like a toothbrush) with a mild soap solution. For deeper cleaning, consult specialized shoe cleaning products for synthetic materials.
Toggle mechanism feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently clean the toggle mechanism with a dry cloth to remove any grit. A very small amount of silicone lubricant might help, but use sparingly to avoid attracting dirt.

Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof properties and appearance of your Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa shoes, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the WPA membrane provides inherent waterproofing, periodic treatment with a suitable waterproofing spray designed for synthetic materials can help maintain optimal performance over time.
- Laces: Inspect the quick-lace system regularly for wear and tear. The laces can typically be replaced if damaged, though specific replacement kits may be required.
