FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy snow?
While the WP+ series is waterproof and great for rain, they are not insulated for heavy snow or freezing sub-zero temperatures.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the waterproof lining and the adhesive bonds.
Does the size UK 8 fit true to size?
Yes, the Palladium Offrunner Stride WP+ generally follows standard sizing, though individual foot shape can vary.
Is the material breathable?
The shoe is designed to be waterproof while allowing for some moisture vapor to escape, though it will naturally be less breathable than non-waterproof mesh sneakers.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Water penetration during heavy rainfall
Ensure the laces are tied snugly to prevent water from entering through the tongue area; if the membrane is compromised, contact the manufacturer for repair advice.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Clean the soles to remove compacted dirt or oil, as buildup can significantly reduce the efficacy of the grip.
Discomfort during long periods of wear
Verify that your lacing is not too tight across the bridge of the foot, or consider adding a third-party orthotic insole if you require extra arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Offrunner Stride WP+ remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the size fits snugly with enough room for your toes to move. Always wear the socks you intend to use daily when trying them on.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes completely, as this can affect the waterproof membrane over time.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can damage the waterproof sealant.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsoles for debris lodged in the treads to maintain optimal grip on urban surfaces.
