FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, they are not classified as fully waterproof and should be treated with a protective spray for better moisture resistance.
Do I need to use the laces if there is a zipper?
The laces allow you to adjust the initial fit for your specific foot width. Once set, you can typically use the side zipper for daily on-and-off use.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These are primarily designed for urban environments and casual wear, rather than heavy-duty wilderness hiking.
How should I clean the soles?
Use a stiff brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub off dirt and debris from the lugged outsoles.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, genuine leather tends to stretch and conform to the shape of the wearer's foot after consistent use.
Are these boots heavy?
No, one of the main features of the Trooperlite series is the specialized lightweight sole construction designed to reduce fatigue.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stiff
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite to the teeth of the zipper to improve slide movement.
Boots feel stiff on first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
Surface scuffs on leather
Use a leather color-matched cream or polish to buff out minor abrasions and restore the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium boots, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure you test the size with the socks you intend to wear regularly, as leather may expand slightly over time.
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking.
- Zipper Maintenance: If the zip becomes stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant can be used to keep the action smooth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the material and the adhesive bonds of the sole.
