FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The waxed cotton upper provides water resistance against light rain, but they are not fully waterproof for heavy submerging.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if preferred.
How do I care for the leather parts?
Use a standard leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent it from drying out.
Do I need to tie the laces every time?
Once you have adjusted the laces for a comfortable fit, you can use the medial zipper for all future use.
Are these suitable for winter?
They are ideal for autumn and spring; however, they lack the heavy insulation required for deep snow or freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of clear candle wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate them.
Waxed fabric looks dull or dusty
Wipe with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth; do not use harsh detergents as they can degrade the wax layer.
Shoes feel tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly before using the zipper; ensure the tongue is centered and not bunched up when zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium Palla Ace Pine Wax trainers, start by ensuring a proper fit for your UK size 5.5. The shoes are true to size but may feel snug initially due to the waxed cotton construction. For care, avoid machine washing, which can strip the wax coating. Instead, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the wax coating begins to wear off, you can re-apply a fabric-safe wax treatment to maintain water resistance. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
