Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Palla Ace Chukka Organic trainers are high-top, unisex sneakers designed for individuals who value sustainable fashion and classic, sporty aesthetics. Crafted from 100% cotton canvas and equipped with a durable EVA sole, they offer a comfortable and eco-conscious footwear solution for casual daily wear. One caveat to consider is that the canvas construction, while breathable, does not provide the water resistance found in synthetic or leather-based outdoor boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are designed primarily for lifestyle, walking, and casual use rather than intensive athletic running.
Are the materials truly organic?
The cotton used is in the process of conversion to organic, supporting farmers during the strict multi-year organic certification period.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can compromise the adhesive and the shape of the canvas.
What does GOTS certification mean?
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification ensures the organic status of textiles from harvesting through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are made of cotton canvas and are not waterproof. We recommend using a fabric-safe water repellent spray if you expect light moisture.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature a cushioned interior and a supportive EVA sole, providing standard comfort for daily use, but they do not have specialized orthotic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the canvas upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild, pH-neutral soap.
Shoes feel damp inside after rain
Remove the laces and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture, then leave them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heaters.
Sole losing grip over time
Check for debris embedded in the diamond-pattern midsole grooves and clear them out with a stiff brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For setup, ensure you lace the shoes to your preferred tension level to balance support and comfort. Since these are unisex trainers, check the size chart carefully to ensure your UK sizing translates correctly to your fit preference. Regarding care, because the material is 100% cotton, avoid machine washing to prevent shrinkage or glue damage. Instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight to maintain the integrity of the cotton fabric.
