FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a Waterproof Plus (WP+) membrane designed to keep moisture out in harsh weather conditions.
Are they suitable for heavy snow?
They provide warmth via Thinsulate insulation, but they are low shoes and do not offer the ankle depth required for deep snow.
Can I use these for hiking?
Yes, the Vibram outsole provides excellent all-terrain grip suitable for light trails and uneven surfaces.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for basic cleaning and a leather-safe conditioner to maintain the material's integrity.
Is the reflective print always visible?
The reflective honeycomb heel print is designed to reflect light back to the source, making it most effective in low-light conditions when hit by external light.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They are generally standard sizing, but if you intend to wear thick thermal socks, some users prefer to go up half a size for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied snugly to seal the tongue area; check for cracks in the leather that may require conditioning or repair.
Stiff feel during first use
Leather requires a break-in period; wear thick socks and perform short walks until the material becomes supple.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the tread with a stiff brush to remove compacted mud or debris that may interfere with the Vibram rubber's grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the premium leather to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth after outdoor use. For the leather upper, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can dry out and damage the leather or affect the waterproofing adhesive.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While they feature a WP+ membrane, applying a water-repellent spray specifically for leather can add an extra layer of protection against heavy saturation.
