FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
No, the Palladium Pampa SP20 HI WAX boots are not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture due to the wax finish but should not be submerged or worn in heavy rain or snow.
How do I clean the waxed canvas?
Gently wipe the boots with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid using soap or harsh chemicals, as they can strip the wax finish. Allow to air dry naturally.
Can I replace the insole?
The insoles are made of 100% polyester and are not designed to be removable. Custom orthotics may not fit comfortably unless the original insole is carefully removed, which is not recommended.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 25 mm (2.5 cm).
Are these boots suitable for winter?
They are ideal for autumn and winter in milder climates or for indoor/dry outdoor use. They do not have specific winter insulation and are not waterproof, so they are not suitable for heavy snow or icy conditions.
How does the wax finish age?
The wax finish is designed to develop a rugged, weathered look over time, becoming unique to each wearer. This process enhances the boot's aesthetic with continued use.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Pampa SP20 HI WAX model and other Pampa series boots are available in various colors, including Brown, Black, and Grey, depending on stock and availability.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel rough or are difficult to tie
Ensure laces are dry. If they feel stiff, a light conditioning spray for cotton might help, but use sparingly.
Color transfer from wax finish to socks
This is normal for waxed finishes, especially when new or in warm conditions. Wash socks separately. The effect usually diminishes with wear.
Slight discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted, not too tight or too loose. Wear with appropriate socks and break in the boots gradually.
Outsole feels slippery on wet surfaces
The TPR outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces, but like most boots, may be less effective on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution.
