By combining rugged leather construction with a lightweight sole and a convenient side-zip entry, these boots offer exceptional durability and ease of wear for those on the move.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While the leather provides a natural barrier against light elements, they are not classified as fully waterproof boots. It is recommended to use a leather water-repellent spray.
How do I clean the sole?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the sole in water for extended periods.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.
Do these boots run true to size?
They generally fit true to standard adult sizing, but individual foot width can influence the feel. If you prefer thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Are they suitable for winter weather?
The leather upper provides good coverage, but they are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for autumn, spring, and mild winter days.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of beeswax or dedicated zipper lubricant.
Leather appears dry or dull
Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.
Boots feel too tight during initial wear
Wear them for short periods around the house with medium-thickness socks to allow the leather to gradually stretch and mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Palladium boots, begin by checking the fit; the high-cut structure should feel snug but not painful around the ankle. For ongoing maintenance, wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. If the leather encounters mud or liquids, clean it promptly with a leather-appropriate cleaner and allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can crack the material. Periodically applying a leather conditioner will help keep the hide supple and weather-resistant.
