Full details
The Palladium Pallashock Ankle Boot in Black is designed for adults seeking a stylish and warm footwear option for colder weather. Its key benefit is combining a 90s-inspired aesthetic with modern durability and comfort, featuring a water-resistant suede upper and a warm synthetic wool lining. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow may require additional protection.

FAQs
Are these boots truly waterproof?
The boots feature a water-resistant suede upper, which means they can handle light rain or damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow may lead to moisture penetration.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and apply sparingly. Always allow the boots to air dry away from direct heat and consider using a suede protector spray.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole for personalized comfort.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 20 mm (2 cm or about 0.8 inches).
How warm are these boots?
They feature a WARMTECH synthetic wool lining designed to keep your feet warm in chilly weather conditions.
Is this boot suitable for vegans?
No, this particular model is not vegan as it is made with suede and other animal-derived materials.
What kind of closure system do these boots have?
The boots have a dual closure system, featuring both traditional laces for adjustment and a side zip for quick and easy on and off.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the boot
Ensure the flap behind the zip is clear of fabric. Gently work the zip up and down a few times. If resistance persists, check for obstructions or damage to the zip.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For persistent marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always protect with a suede spray afterwards.
Feet feeling cold despite the lining
Ensure the boot fits correctly and is not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Consider wearing thicker socks, especially in very cold weather. The lining provides warmth but is most effective with proper fit and sock choice.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on extremely slick surfaces like ice or polished wet floors. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For icy conditions, consider specialized over-shoe traction devices.
