Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Offrunner Stride WP+ is a versatile, unisex trainer designed for active adults who navigate both urban commutes and outdoor detours. Its primary benefit is the waterproof construction, which ensures your feet remain dry in wet conditions, making it an ideal choice for unpredictable weather; however, users should note that as a performance-style trainer, its specialized waterproof membrane may feel slightly more structured than standard canvas sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the 'WP+' designation indicates a specialized construction designed to keep your feet dry in rain and wet conditions.
Can I use these for heavy hiking?
These are primarily designed for urban and light outdoor use; they provide excellent protection, but are not intended for technical mountain terrain.
How do I choose my size?
These follow standard adult UK sizing; refer to your typical trainer size, keeping in mind the structure of the waterproof membrane.
Is the sole slip-resistant?
The sole is designed for urban traction; however, always exercise caution on smooth, wet surfaces like polished stone.
Can I machine wash these?
No, machine washing can compromise the structural integrity and the waterproof coating of the shoes.
Troubleshooting
Moisture inside the shoe despite waterproof claim
Check if water is entering from the top ankle opening; consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat that can be mistaken for leaks.
Stiff feel during initial wear
The shoe features a protective, durable construction; wear them for short durations indoors to gradually break in the upper material.
Dirt buildup on the exterior
Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to gently scrub the surface; avoid harsh detergents which may strip the water-repellent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Offrunner Stride WP+ remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these are waterproof, avoid machine washing, which can damage the membrane. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove mud and debris. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can warp the materials. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew from developing on the exterior surface.
