Product Information
Full details
The Palladium Offrunner Stride Wp+ is a versatile, unisex trainer designed for urban adventurers who need reliable footwear that transitions seamlessly from city streets to light outdoor escapes. Its primary strength lies in its integrated waterproof construction, which keeps feet dry during inclement weather and unexpected detours. While highly functional and durable, users should note that the rugged design may feel slightly stiffer than traditional lightweight running shoes during initial break-in periods.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy snow?
While the Wp+ technology is excellent for rain and light slush, these are not insulated winter boots and may not provide enough warmth for sub-zero temperatures.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Are they true to size?
Most users find they run true to size, though the structure of the waterproof upper may feel more 'snug' than non-waterproof trainers.
How long does the waterproof protection last?
With proper care and occasional re-application of protective sprays, the waterproof performance should last for the duration of the shoe's lifespan.
Are these trainers machine washable?
We do not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the waterproof sealing and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
Apply a spray-on waterproof treatment specifically designed for technical footwear to restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
Shoes feel tight or stiff after initial wear
The materials need time to adapt to your foot shape. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to soften the leather and textile uppers.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge dried mud from the grooves of the outsole to maintain maximum grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Palladium Offrunner Stride Wp+ remain in peak condition, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe away mud and debris using a damp, soft cloth after outdoor use. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: If the interior becomes damp, stuff the shoes with newspaper or a shoe tree and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Never place them directly on a radiator or near a high-heat source.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lacing system. If you prefer a customized fit, you may replace the stock laces with elastic versions for easier slip-on/slip-off functionality.
