FAQs
Are the Palladium Pampa SP20 HI WAX boots waterproof?
No, these boots are not waterproof. They are designed for style and comfort in dry conditions and should not be relied upon in heavy rain or snow.
How do I clean the waxed canvas upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents. For wax maintenance, refer to specific care instructions for waxed canvas products.
Can I replace the insole?
No, the insole is integrated and not designed to be removed.
What is the heel height?

Are these boots suitable for winter?
They are suitable for dry and cool winter conditions. Due to their non-waterproof nature, they are not ideal for deep snow or wet winter weather.
Do the boots require any special break-in period?
Yes, like many durable boots, they may feel a bit stiff at first. Wearing them for progressively longer periods will help them conform to your feet and become more comfortable.
What does 'Pampa SP20 HI WAX' mean?
Pampa refers to the iconic Palladium boot model. SP20 indicates the Spring 2020 collection, and HI signifies the high-top style. WAX denotes the specific wax-finished canvas material used for the upper.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
New boots, especially with waxed canvas, can feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
Wax transfer onto clothing
The wax finish can sometimes transfer, especially in warmer temperatures or with friction. If this occurs, gently brush the affected area of the boot and allow it to dry. Consider using a boot proofing spray designed for waxed canvas to help seal the finish, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces not staying tied
If laces are consistently coming undone, try double-knotting them. Replacing the laces with a different material or texture might also help maintain a tighter knot.
Discomfort on the sole
While the insole is not removable, if you require additional cushioning, consider using thin, cushioned insoles designed to fit inside boots. Ensure they do not create pressure points.
