FAQs
How do I clean the waxed canvas?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn marks, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the boots or using strong detergents.
Will the wax finish rub off on clothing?
In rare cases, excessive friction or very warm temperatures might cause some minimal transfer. However, the finish is designed to be durable and bonded to the canvas.
Are these boots waterproof?
The waxed canvas offers water resistance, suitable for light rain and damp conditions. They are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to saturation.
What is the best season to wear these boots?
These boots are primarily designed for the fall and winter seasons due to their style and material composition.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Palladium sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible. A snug fit is recommended initially, as they will mold to your feet over time.
Can I reapply the wax finish?
Yes, specialized canvas wax or conditioning products can be used to refresh and maintain the wax finish if desired, following the product's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff initially.
This is common with new waxed canvas. Wear them for short periods to break them in. The flexibility will increase with use.
Wax finish appears uneven or patchy.
This is a natural characteristic of the wax finish and contributes to the boot's unique look. If you prefer a more uniform appearance, consider applying a conditioning wax evenly.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the TPR outsole offers good grip, all footwear can become slippery on exceptionally slick surfaces. Exercise caution in very wet or icy conditions.
Discoloration on the canvas.
Minor scuffs and marks are part of the boots' intended aesthetic. For significant stains, consult specific canvas cleaning guides, testing any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:

- Wax Maintenance: To refresh the wax finish, specialized wax treatments can be applied periodically, following the product instructions. This helps maintain the water resistance and the characteristic look.
