FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The waxed cotton offers water resistance, meaning they will repel light rain, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy downpours or deep puddles.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
How should I clean the leather accents?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt and a leather-safe cleaner for deeper stains.
Are these true to size?
Palladium trainers generally follow standard sizing; however, since they feature a robust construction, some users prefer a half-size up if they plan to wear thick socks.
Can these be worn in winter?
While durable, they are not insulated. They are best suited for spring, autumn, and mild winter days.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stiff or difficult to slide
Apply a tiny amount of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to restore smooth movement.
Wax coating starts to look faded
You can re-apply a fabric wax dressing to restore the water-repellent finish and original sheen.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for waxed cotton; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium trainers last, proper care is essential. When you first receive your shoes, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable through the midfoot. Because of the waxed cotton finish, avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as it will strip the wax coating. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a brush specifically designed for waxed fabrics. For the leather components, use a standard leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
