FAQs
Are the Palladium Pallarider Lo Track waterproof?
The shoes are water-resistant due to their materials and construction, but not fully waterproof. The suede component, in particular, can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture. Use a waterproofing spray for added protection.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram® outsole?
The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability, superior traction on a variety of terrains, and excellent abrasion resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan for the shoe.
Can I wear these for hiking?
The Pallarider Lo Track is designed for urban exploration and light outdoor use. While the Vibram® sole offers good traction, they are not intended for strenuous hiking or rugged off-road conditions, lacking the ankle support and cushioning of dedicated hiking boots.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a dry suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
Is this shoe suitable for women?
Yes, the Pallarider Lo Track features a unisex design, making it suitable for individuals of all genders.
What is the difference between this model and other Palladium shoes?
The Pallarider Lo Track specifically features a Vibram® outsole and a modern blend of suede, nylon, and mesh, focusing on urban style with enhanced outdoor performance capabilities compared to some of Palladium's more traditional boot styles.
How long does the shoe typically last?
With proper care and regular use within its intended environment, the durable materials and Vibram® outsole contribute to a long lifespan for the shoes, typically lasting several years.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to lift dirt. For stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Consider applying a protective spray to prevent future stains.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean from debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can reduce effectiveness. Allow shoes to dry completely if saturated.
Discomfort during wear
Verify you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Ensure socks provide adequate cushioning.
Material delamination after exposure to water
Avoid prolonged submersion in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly. Excessive moisture can affect adhesive bonds over time.
