Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Offrunner Stride WP+ is a versatile, unisex sneaker engineered for adults who navigate diverse environments, from rain-slicked city streets to unpredictable outdoor detours. Its primary benefit is the combination of a rugged, waterproof build with a sleek, athletic design, making it ideal for those who prioritize both protection and style. One caveat to consider is that while the shoe is highly durable and weather-resistant, its structured design may require a short break-in period to reach maximum comfort for extended wear.

FAQs
Is the Palladium Offrunner Stride WP+ suitable for heavy hiking?
While it is durable and offers great traction for light trails and urban environments, it is primarily designed as a robust urban-utility trainer rather than a technical mountain hiking boot.
How do I determine the correct size?
The shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. We recommend choosing your usual size, or a half-size up if you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof lining and the adhesive bonds. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the recommended care method.
Is this shoe unisex?
Yes, the Offrunner Stride WP+ is designed with a unisex aesthetic and fit, making it suitable for any gender.
Does the waterproof membrane affect breathability?
The shoe is designed to balance water resistance with airflow, though it may be slightly warmer than a non-waterproof mesh sneaker.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing seems less effective over time
Clean the exterior thoroughly to remove grime and debris that might be masking the water-repellent finish, and consider applying a shoe-specific waterproofing spray.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot; adjust the lacing system to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
Accumulated dirt in the outsole tread
Use a firm plastic brush to dislodge mud or debris from the deep grooves of the sole to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium Offrunner Stride WP+, proper maintenance is key. Since these are waterproof, avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the protective membrane. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove dried mud and dust. For the interior, ensure the shoes are aired out properly after a long, rainy day to prevent moisture buildup. When sizing, note that the fit is consistent with standard UK adult sizing; if you plan to wear thick wool socks in winter, you may want to consider a half-size up. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
