FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Palla Ace Chukka Organic is made from textile materials and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, Palladium generally adheres to standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick winter socks, you may consider sizing up.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, never place your shoes in a tumble dryer. Intense heat will damage the rubber soles and the organic textile construction.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from high-quality organic textiles, paired with a durable rubber toecap and signature rubber outsole.
Are these suitable for light hiking?
They perform well on flat city trails and groomed paths, but they lack the deep-lugged outsole and specialized support required for rugged, uneven hiking terrain.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the organic fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff away dry dirt; for stubborn spots, a localized wipe with a mild detergent-dampened cloth is recommended.
Footbed feels less comfortable over time
The included insole is removable; replace it with a third-party orthotic insole if you require additional arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Palladium trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short intervals initially to allow the organic material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the organic fibers and adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the rubber to crack or the fabric to shrink.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help maintain the structure of the toe box when not in use.
