Palladium BAGGY Black High-top sneakers Women

A French brand born in 1920 as a tyre maker, later an icon of military boots.

Palladium’s iconic 1947 boot: canvas upper, rubber toe cap and high lacing.

The design was born for the French Foreign Legion; today they are lifestyle boots with the same DNA.

Breathable canvas models are not fully; there are Pampa Waterproof versions with a membrane.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
