FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the nappa leather and rubber sole provide protection against damp conditions, they are not classified as fully waterproof boots.
How do I clean the rubber lug sole?
You can scrub the rubber soles with a stiff-bristled brush and warm, soapy water to remove mud and debris.
Do I need to break these boots in?
As they are made of soft nappa leather, they have a shorter break-in period than stiff work boots, but wearing them for short periods initially is recommended.
Is the leather lining breathable?
Yes, the genuine leather construction offers natural breathability, helping to maintain a comfortable internal environment.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to store the boots?
Use boot trees to help maintain the shape of the leather and prevent creasing when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Stiff zipper operation
Apply a small amount of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant to the teeth to ensure smooth movement.
Leather looks dull
Use a specialized leather conditioner to restore oils and bring back the natural sheen of the nappa leather.
Minor scuff marks
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor surface abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Before the first use, apply a leather protector spray suitable for nappa leather to create a barrier against moisture and dirt. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow the boots to air dry away from heat sources. To maintain the integrity of the leather, apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months. The boots are designed to fit true to size for a standard UK 5.5 fit; if you plan to wear thick wool socks, ensure you account for the necessary interior volume.
