Palladium Men's Pampa Hi Boot Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I would like to start by first saying the only thing that makes these anything in common with Converse All Stars is they are Hitop and Canvas. I dont think the French would wear these in the desert for 70 yrs if they were Sneakers. This is my 5th pair of Palladiums, and I can say without a doubt these are my favorite Boots I own. These are more suited for summer use being canvas. My waterproof leather version of these boots are perfect for winter. But as far as being lite weight and VERY comfortable these are unmatched. They are both stylish and comfy. They go with literally everything I wear From Jeans to Khakis. I just dont understand everyone comparing these to Converse All Stars. They are WAY more comfortable than Any Converse All Stars Ive ever had. AND they ARE BOOTS and NOT sneakers. Im NOT trying to offend any of the other reviewers Im just saying these are Nothing like Converse All Stars. Thanks for reading.

I wear these shoes all year round, nearly daily.

For my use (mostly flat terrain, about 1 long walk of more than 2-3 hours per month) they will start looking worn after about 6 months, and will be unusable at approx. 1 year.

Up to now, the wearing pattern is always similar: they will start tearing on folds in the canvas.

Lastly, they seem to have a break in period of roughly a month.

Best Deals on Palladium Men's Pampa Hi Boot

I have been wearing these boots for more than 40 years, about one pair every two to three years, when I am not in uniform this is what I wear, during summer and dry winter days, for hiking, backpacking or just around town.

They are light, have soles with good grip, keep my feet cool on hot days, are easy to clean I wash mine by hand although I have washed them in the machine without any adverse effects easy to pack, and give me just the support I need without unnecessary bulk or weight.

My first three pairs still had the original burlap insoles, no support at all though easy to wash, the present insoles are a lot better.

If for some reason, I hope never, the manufacturer decides to discontinue these boots, I hope to be informed of it ahead of time so I can buy 10 to 20 pair, so as to be sure I never have to "set foot" in those over-engineered, over-priced, over-promoted hideous spaceship resembling synthetic monstrosities passing for hiking-boots these days.

Honest reviews on Palladium Men's Pampa Hi Boot

As the title says, I ordered the Palladium Men's Pampa Hi Canvas boot in black; size 10.

First impressions after wearing for 3 days straight:

-Very light, in a (mostly) good way; I think I assumed they would be heavier since they are "boots" but this is not the case; some people may relate weight with quality but I actually like the weight

-Adequate comfort in the shape and material

-Gives a slight height boost over the average shoe, maybe 0.5 inches

-The sizing was fine; I have slightly wider than normal feet and they fit well

-The canvas "breathes" fairly well and my feet don't get as hot as they would in leather or other shoes

Conclusion:

I wanted an affordable black boot that I could wear with tapered jeans and I think they do the job. Honestly, they look pretty good for $42.00.They are definitely NOT the manliest boots I've ever seen, but they are versatile and comfortable. Basically, they are the Converse or Vans of boots. I will probably be buying these shoes again in other colors/styles/materials since they are such a great deal.

These boots are NARROW. Dont buy if you have flat or wide feet. Im not sure if Palladium offers these boots in widths but the boots in general are narrow. Overall these boots are great.
