FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The leather upper provides water resistance against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof or submersible.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to use custom orthotics or replace them with your preferred insoles.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Pampa silhouette generally has a standard fit, but the leather can provide some natural give over time.
Do I need to polish the leather?
You can use a neutral leather cream or wax if you want to maintain a shine or cover scuffs, though natural wear often enhances the vintage aesthetic.
Can I wear these in the winter?
They are suitable for mild winter conditions, but they do not feature heavy thermal insulation for extreme freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Side zipper feels stiff
Apply a tiny amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth and cycle the zipper up and down several times to distribute it.
Leather feels too tight at first
Wear the boots for short intervals indoors with slightly thicker socks to help the leather gently stretch and conform to your foot shape.
Difficulty putting boots on
Loosen the laces initially to provide more volume, then zip the side open completely before sliding your foot in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium boots remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the boots feel secure but not tight across the instep. It is recommended to wear them with medium-weight socks during the first few days of use.
- Lacing: Once you have adjusted the fit to your preference using the laces, the side zipper becomes your primary method for entry. Re-lace only when necessary for adjustment.
- Leather Care: Clean the leather upper using a soft, damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or fully submerging the boots in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen and damage the adhesive components.
