FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking?
While the outsole offers decent grip for everyday surfaces, these trainers are designed for casual wear and not for strenuous hiking activities. For rugged terrain, consider footwear specifically designed for hiking.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially the organic canvas and internal components, can be damaged by the washing machine cycle. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What does 'Chukka height' mean?
Chukka height refers to a boot style that typically comes up to the ankle. The Palla Ace Chukka Organic offers this height, providing more coverage than a standard low-top sneaker.
Are there other color options available?
The Palla Ace Chukka Organic model is available in Retro Blue. Other variants within the Palla Ace series may come in different colors.
How does the organic cotton differ from regular cotton?
Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to conventionally grown cotton.
Is the insole removable?
No, the insole is not designed to be removable.
What is CMEVA in the outsole?
CMEVA stands for compression-molded EVA. It's a type of foam used in midsoles and outsoles that provides cushioning and shock absorption, molded for durability and a consistent feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
The organic cotton and other materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Discoloration on canvas
For minor marks, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure to test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a similar style and length. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight during wear.
