Palladium Men's Pampa Hi Boot, Vegan Canvas Lace Up Boot

i dont write reviews very often.. but these shoes are awesome! i cant go on enough about how happy i am with these shoes. ive always been looking for converse high top style in a boot form factor. both for style and the fact that i need warmer shoes. i was looking at these ones that Levi made but they got horrible reviews saying they were too heavy and poorly made. then i found these and thought i'd give them a try. they are cheaper than the levi's if i recall. they are also made really well. these shoes are alot like converse high tops, but made with much thicker and tougher canvas. i mean.. like military grade canvas. and its not like its made out of multiple layers of thin material like converse. these shoes are tough! the rubber is one solid piece too. converse has multiple pieces of rubber glued together- not these! it seems like every detail of these shoes were carefully thought out and made with high quality. even the shoelaces are perfect! they are flat which i love. they also have amazing grip, which is also pretty unique because the tread is widely spaced which keeps them nice and lightweight while actually providing better tread. ive had these for a couple months or so now, and i dont expect them to come apart soon. ive been abusing them. ive used them every time i ride my harley, and they get dragged alot. these shoes can be used as work boots (unless you need the steel toe) motorcycle boots, hiking boots, or even just every day shoes. theyre so comfortable, im actually still wearing them in the house right now. the only problem i encountered was that they took a week of wearing them daily to finally break them in enough to be comfortable. converse high tops need breaking in too, but not as much as these do. which makes sense, because they are made of much thicker canvas. but fast forward to now, and they are extremely comfortable and thoroughly broken in. i ordered a size 9 which is my size for converse high tops, and at first these felt so tight, i was ready to return them. i am SO GLAD i didnt because they just needed to be broken in. so if you think they are too tight GIVE THEM A CHANCE because trust me they need some breaking in and it will be worth it. in the end they are sized the same as converse high tops. they are not exactly waterproof, duh, its canvas. but surprisingly enough i havent felt my feet get wet from walking in the rain. i also did eventually spray it with waterproofing spray. all in all, ive never been happier over a shoe purchase. pros: -very tough, high quality build -stylish -comfortable, practical, lightweight -versatility. can be used for work, motorcycle, hiking, ect -no squeak -good grip -better arch support than converse high tops cons: -no steel/carbon fiber toe -needs breaking in -waterproofing spray needed

I have been a fan of Palladium boots since I bought my first pair maybe three years ago and I am currently on my third pair of 'pampas'. I view them as being the perfect combination of a of a pair of chucks and a boot. The soft soles are fantastic, they are stylish, well made and light. They can be worn with very thin socks straight out of the box. I find the canvas boots are perfect for the Australian summer, at least the hot dry states to the south. they breathe easy and when they get wet, they can be quickly dried. The light coloured canvas ones do get dirty very easily though, i have had a tan pair for a year or so and have had to regularly scrub and wash them to keep them presentable. this did not bother the shoes though, i have washed them maybe five times, fallen off a motorcycle wearing them grinding my heel, (ouch) but they are still in wearable condition. The soles are very soft and it takes roughly a nine months to a year to walk through them. This usually happens before the canvas starts to break apart. considering the lightweight construction and the soft soles, you couldn't expect better wear from them really. These shoes are great value for money and should be a lot more popular than what they are.... one thing though... BEWARE sizing. After my first black pair, I bought my second tan pair straight off the shelf. I forgot that although i am a 12 generally, i wear a 13 in Palladium. The 12s did not fit me and i was forced to return them i am unsure about the smaller sizes, but this anomaly is consistent across various models as well.

I like these boots so much I bought four pairs in different colors. They are great for everyday wear. If you like Converse hi- top shoes you will love the Pampa Hi boots from Palladium. They are like hi-top sneakers (trainers), but even more comfortable with a thicker yet somehow more flexible sole. They fit true to size and are honestly some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I haven’t worn them on long hikes or in rough terrain so I can’t really evaluate their suitability for hard use but they are solidly constructed and would probably be fine for the type of hiking most people actually do. They are not waterproof if that’s important to you but they are great for daily all day wear and let’s face it, they just look really good. I purchased one pair because I liked the way they looked and three more shortly thereafter because I love the way they feel. Just my opinion but I love them. I highly recommend the Pampa Hi boots.

I love the way the boots look. They fell great once they’re on. But man, they are VERY difficult to get on. Not much leeway in the back to get around your held. And I’m pretty skinny fella and my feet are relatively small. Very hard to pull up. Easy enough to get off, but it does take some effort. You almost go unlace them completely to get space out of them.

I bought these because some reviews said they felt like wearing Converse Chucks but with a boot sole. To my suprise, they actually do feel like Converse Chucks. Sizing is the same also. I’ve been wearing these Palladiums daily for about a month now with zero issues with comfort or quality. Definitely will order again..

I read a lot on sizing. I have long, wide feet and it is difficult to find shoes to fit my width. In Converse, I wear a size 12, but in the Palladium Pampa Hi I ordered a size 12 and a size 13. The 12s did not fit at all but the 13s were just right. They have a wide toe box and the length allowed my foot to take advantage.

After only three days, these boots are very nicely broken in! Palladium boots are widely issued to the French Foriegn Legion and the Israeli Defense Forces. I can see why! For an inexpensive pair of simple canvas boots, they are comfortable and durable. This is great footwear for hot weather, exactly what I needed, exactly what I was looking for. Like most boots, they need a breaking-in period, and that didn't take long. They are much more comfortable than leather boots, when the temperature outside is above 90. However, these boots may not be comfortable for everyone. They are well-made for the simple footwear that they are, but some wearer's may need some manner of cushioned insoles for better support. I did, and now they feel better. After wearing them all summer, they are still excellent in terms of breathable footwear, ...but they get rather-UN-comfortable if you have to walk for any extensive length of time. This is too bad, as I like Palladium boots, but some improvements ARE needed in support of the feet inside them.

Over price for me and Blue Farm is about the same quality but cheaper.

Great

top pour tout rando, urbain, peu importe

Great lightweight boots, very comfy and idea for either city or countryside use. Made from canvas, so if you get them wet, they dry very quickly. Saw them on holiday in France and immediately wanted a pair. Nice range of styles and colours.

Great shoes. My fourth pair. Why do I like them? They last, they're comfortable and they're slightly wider than average.
