FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
Yes, the Palladium Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa trainers feature a Waterproof Advanced (WPA) membrane designed to provide breathable protection against water and moisture.
How do I adjust the quick-lace system?
Simply pull the toggle to tighten the laces and press the release on the toggle to loosen them. Slide the toggle up or down the elastic laces to secure your preferred fit.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or preferred insoles for added comfort or support.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper, lining, and insock are made of 100% polyester. The outsole is made of 100% rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While the Vibram® outsole provides good grip and the shoes are waterproof, they are primarily designed for urban exploration. For serious hiking on rugged terrain, dedicated hiking boots are recommended.
How should I clean my Pallarider trainers?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Are there different color options available?
This guide focuses on the beige variant. Please check the product listing for available color options and specific model numbers.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into the shoe
Ensure laces are tightened securely and the tongue is properly positioned. Check for any visible damage to the shoe's exterior or seams that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Clean the shoes and allow them to dry completely, then re-evaluate.
Laces feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the quick-lace toggle. Slide it down towards the toe for a tighter fit and up towards the ankle for a looser fit. Ensure the toggle is locked in place.
Unusual odor
Remove the insole and allow both the shoe and insole to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoe overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Machine washing is not recommended.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the Vibram® outsole offers good grip, extremely smooth or polished surfaces can be challenging for any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt can reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Simply adjust the quick-lace toggle to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. The elastic laces allow for a degree of stretch to accommodate foot movement.
Compatibility: The Pallarider Lo Tx Wpa trainers are designed for unisex adult wear. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotics or preferred insoles if needed.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and affect the waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While the WPA membrane provides lasting protection, avoid prolonged submersion in water. Periodically check the integrity of the seams and materials for any signs of wear that might compromise waterproofing.
