FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The wax finish offers some water resistance, making them suitable for light rain or damp conditions. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I clean the wax finish?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth for marks. Avoid soaps or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wax coating.
Will the wax finish wear off completely?
The finish is designed to wear naturally over time, creating a unique, distressed look. It will not typically wear off completely but will evolve with use.
What is the best season to wear these boots?
These boots are ideal for fall and winter due to their durable construction and style, but can be worn in milder weather for casual purposes.
Can I wear these boots for hiking?
They are suitable for light trails and casual walks. For strenuous hiking with rough terrain, boots with more specialized support and grip might be preferable.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and compare it with your UK foot size. Consider that these are unisex boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially
This is normal for new boots, especially with a wax finish. Wear them for short periods initially and they will become more comfortable as they break in.
Uneven wear on the wax finish
This is a natural characteristic of the wax finish and adds to the boot's unique appearance. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that might exacerbate this.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the TPR outsole offers good grip, very smooth or polished wet surfaces can be challenging. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots.
- Wax Finish Maintenance: To preserve the wax finish, avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Reapplication of wax is not typically necessary unless the finish wears significantly, and specific wax products for footwear should be used sparingly.
- Drying: If the boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or fires. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
